Yes and no !

I fully understand the I-want-to-play-a-real-war aspect, in war gaming in general. On the other hand as we were not blessed with a real naval war the last decades (thank God!!!) simulations are the only way to go. And that is true for both the professional sims (training and planing) and the gaming community. Modern subs, in many aspects, are completely different beasts than their WW2 grand pappies!. If you can decently simulate environmental conditions, sensors, weapons, platforms and their movement you can get a very interesting game, me thinks!
