It requires DX11 which is a deal breaker unfortunately.

Remember you can use aerobraking for reentry. Kerbin atmosphere begins at 66km altitude. Set your periapsis below that it's only a matter of time before you land. I usually aim at 60km but I probably could 50km and it can take orbiting kerbin few times before you hit the ground. Saves fuel too. Also do you use heatshield on your pod? I don't remember well but I think it provides additional drag that helps with slowing down, I use them all the time anyway. You can also mount those auxiliary parachutes that work on higher speeds that will help you slow down your craft, of course if you have them unlocked.
Oh wait you're not orbiting yet, no? Just making those "jumps" into high altitude and then just falling?
>However the only way to lower the angle is to propel the craft horizontally which has the negative consequence of speeding up.
This might work actually, don't worry about the speed, things works a little bit different in spess. What's important is that you'll have longer way through the atmosphere. Execute the burn horizontally when you're at the highest point for best effectiveness. Just watch out so that you won't start orbiting the planet instead of falling wew.
>This is in the game?
Yes. It's called ΔV (or deltaV). You should be able to open it's menu in craft assembly near lower right corner. You should also see the deltaV numbers on the right side where you'r stages are displayed, for example that this stage has 1000m/s and the other 1500m/s.
It's a measure of how much change of speed you'r craft can do and therefore how far can it go. A tiny satellite and gigantic space ship with same deltaV are able to travel same distance.
You can find maps on the net for KSP that measure distances in deltaV. Very very useful. The tool calculates lots of data for you, just remember that you have to specify in the deltav menu if you're on planet surface or at certain altitude or in vacuum.
