What a "realistic" option should do is give you a reasonable assessment of your career. If you really sucked, they should cashier you after 3 patrols and tell you "you suck". If you won the Congressional Medal of Honor (or whatever they're calling it), they should give you 7-8 patrols and then ship you back stateside to be a big hero. In between, you should get 5-6 patrols and then get a promotion to a staff job. It might also be nice if you could use your accumulated renown to beg your way back into a boat command that begins a year or two later, bringing your prior career stats with you (minus the renown you spent -- you're taking a risk). If it were designed this way, I might actually pick the realism option.
I cannot imagine that any of this would be too difficult to code. I remember playing games back in the late 1980s that gave you these kinds of assessments/options at the end. It's just a bunch of "IF THEN" directions.

If this would be possible.. I'll go for realism
