Silent Hunter IV is a game. It simulates submarine combat in the Paciic theatre to a quite incredible level. Given an infinite amount of time I'm sure that every major battle in the pacific could have been accounted for but then the game wouldn't have the open ended nature it has, and imo should keep.
The game is designed, imo, to appeal to a fairly wide audience and whilst it may not be historically realistic to have the ability to sink the Yamato or Musashi more than once, be able to zoom around with an external camera or even be able to save a game so that a player can replay a convoy attack, for many of us these features do add to the overall enjoyment.
Regardless of the above SH4 is very moddable, I'm sure someone will provide mods and missions to suit your particular ideal in any case.
