Yes, shame on all those totally unrealistic
fantasy games like Longbow, Falcon, Eurofighter . . . there isn't a roll-eyes smiley big enough to express how I feel about this opinion.
Turn that position around to see how illogical it is . . . if you're going to do a historical simulation, why not go all the way and just sit back and watch everything play out exactly how it happened the first time? Doesn't get any more historical than that. Anything action the player takes, by definition, makes it less historically accurate.
Anyway . . . I think a Red-Menace-Pouring-Through-The-Fulda-Gap scenario would kick indescribable amounts of ass in any genre of simulation. Imagine the missions . . . everything from covert insertions to EW patrols to escorting convoys across the Atlantic to ASW screening for task forces . . . interdicting Soviet naval forces . . . attacking their convoys . . . <drool>
