That's so true. One of my pet peeves of naval simulations is how people obsess over all the techno-weenie details and end up missing the big picture. A good wargame should be about tactics and decisions. Details of specific numbers and knob twiddling should be secondary. They really only need to be in the ballpark because often the uncertainty on actual numbers is large and the impact of that uncertainty dwarfs the importance in terms of decisions than whether a given platform's source level at 138Hz is 120dB or 135dB.
