Next I described how to get pretty close sunrise sunset times. SH4 as a game gets them close enough for me: every 15 degrees = 1 hour from base time ( East <---> West from Pearl). I didn't mention Dutch Harbor. I didn't call SH4 a solar system simulator. I didn't compare the size of the sun & moon.
I did mention the moon phases in SH4; the phases and moonrise, moonset are all close enough for me.
The OP missed the calendar that SH1 had. So do I. SH1 was not an astronomy program either but knowing when it would be dark for example, would help in planning an attack - like a night surface attack or a night periscope attack. Knowing when the moon is not up at night is useful. SH4 gets that close enough for me.
I was trying to help the OP make sense of what SH4 does provide.
Holy Cow Robbins, relax!
Happy Hunting!
