I think you have to distinguish "realism" from "reality", that's something that a lot of people miss. I'm of the Beery-type school of thought where "realism" == "gameplay", but "realism" =/= "reality".

Ultimately, I want my game to reflect what I know of history and reality. Getting less than that is a minus to gameplay for me first, realism later. :hmm:
