Would you like to have.....

I like the idea of a kind of arcade=1 setting for practice purposes and to verify the DMs. As long as you can disable it and do not have a setting forced upon you, it's perfectly fine.

However, you have to take one thing into consideration: Both the AI and players in MP seem to have a habit to stay in their planes and in a fight a lot longer than what you would experience in real life. I have yet to see AI bail with elevators and rudders disabled and I have yet to see people bailing as fast as possible online when you set parts of their plane on fire.

Of course, on some instances people would try to avoid the inevitable in real life and you would see some attempts in nursing planes home, but unlike in a Sim, people were putting their life on the line doing so. The rule of thumb in real life was (and is): It's better to be a coward for 5 minutes than dead a lifetime. No such things in Sims unfortunately.
