To be "fully immersive" and "realistic" a sim has to have as narrow a focus as possible. While we might find IL2 to be more fun, a truly realistic sim is more along the lines of the F-16 Fighting Falcon series. A realitic simulation of surface naval warfare would have to be devoted to one type of ship, with others included as add-ons. This is why I don't touch any of the "playable surface ships" made as mods for Silent Hunter. They don't include the complete ship or even the essential basics. They're just submarines with different graphics.
