For you, they are mutually exclusive, and that's fine. For me, they are the same thing.

The reality of Silent Hunter III, a u-boot simulator, was that 90% of players would die and lose their ship. That they'd spend weeks with no targets only to sink to a random air attack. Their equipment would be obsolete and their weapons wouldn't work.
While that's all "reality" and has been modeled into several mods for SH3, for some losing like that isn't "enjoyment". Some people enjoy the challenge of using unusable equipment in a losing struggle while others just want to blow stuff up or enjoy commanding a submarine. Super duper AI can be very challenging, but if it's too strong it can ruin the game for many players.
