In my book, a title deserving the prefix simulation, should have focus on faithfully recreating operation and function of RL Hardware and environments. Anything else is bonus. Visuals do contribute to realism, but are no substitute for simulation. In this regard there`s not much available to pass judgement on.
I would be interested in how sophisticated the "Vorhalterechner" (TDC) is recreated, as well as GHG (Sonar) operation and capabilities/ limitations. Optics, weapons and munitions - how do they rate when put against RL operation and data. Being the teeth, eyes and ears of a WW2 submarine, these should receive some extra love.
Just prior to release of "Operation Failpoint - Sleazy Dragon" by CM, an alleged former Dev made a forum entry about the title being more of a realistic "walking simulation", than a "milsim" (i do not like that word anyway). People were booing him, of course - but eventually it turned out he was on target with that assessment.
