That would be totally at odds with the flight dynamics in all the earlier games. You would just totally annoy all the old players from the original series.
The Wing Commander games have always flown like a starwars/batttlestar-galactica fighter Hollywood movie style.
In a sense that is essential to make an interesting "space" game as dog-fighting and combat using the behavior of real world space craft (head on passes at 30,000 mph anyone?) would be hours of boredom followed by milliseconds of excitement and more hours of boredom.
