Hi. Generally until now I liked the idea of master modes. I was really not against this but but after some days of playing I vote for a total reverse to the old flight model. These are my personal reasons: 1. The flight feels artificial now. These changes of modes are breaking immersion for me. The flow is gone. For a sim with major flight parts this is a problem. 2. The losing of the shield during cruise mode is absolutly laughable and ridiculous for me. Do you know a very old tactic which is hit and run. The problem is you cannot run without shield without damage. 3. The closer combat should give better visuals of enemies. OK, sometimes you see the ships a little better but most of the time they are only pixels. 4. Bringing WW2 combat to a space sim is on the same level like giving a modern machine gun to the range and power of a medieval sword. You have to decide what you want - space or WW2. I plegded a space sim! So again and again: CIG is chasing a dream and killing the fun.
