Our recognition manual as the problem of knowing the exact numbers for every single ship on the ocean. Never mind that the exact numbers are wrong. Never mind that our stadimeter has binning problems. The real things were MUCH worse than what we have. The stadimeter was more inaccurate, the recognition manual didn't recognize the vast majority of targets.
The real thing also enjoyed advantages we don't have: peripheral vision, much better optical resolution, a crew that augmented the abilities of the skipper. No simulation at this time can come close to that.
It's amazing that SH4 has SOME of the flavor of the real thing. Methinks it's the best we're going to get for many years. Right now we're looking for a white knight and Ubi ain't it...
