Why? you think the engine braking is lacking? Seems adequate in mine as long as I select the right gear.
You can always find a reason to not like something, I wouldn't like one as a submarine or space ship as I think they're a little light on air tightedness( actually a word ?)
and propulsion ( Im sure that's a real word) but given i spend about the same amount of time in space as I do in prolonged controlled descents then Im not seeing it as a problem.
