Demands, eh? That'll get you far
I'll bet you want all this next month too?

If this is a PTO sim, there won't be any of those.

Do you want a tactical sim or an engineering sim? You won't get both.

Wow, I really hope the developers' intent is not to create a WWII submarine-themed D&D... Do you want a tactical sim or a roleplaying game? You won't get both.
I have no argument with most of the "demands" that I didn't quote. A very comprehensive list. However, methinks that this list simply does not take into account the nature of our chosen genre... such a sim would take longer than necessary to produce a good tactical sim. Additionally, the resources necessary to create such a grandiose project would probably be more than most companies would be willing to throw at a project that would return so little on their investment of time, resources, and manpower.
Keep dreamin' though... it's how good ideas are born.
