"He who plays simulations for "the best score" is not a true simmer."

I don't play for the best score, I play for fun, which also makes me not a true simmer - but then again being a true simmer isn't my objective either.

"I start with an all rookie crew. I promote as the career progresses. Do you do that?"

Dunno, this is the first time I'm trying it. Do they actually improve their skills over time? Can a seaman 1st become a mustang officer over time?

"The reality was that battlships in World War Two were protected by anti-torpedo belts"

IIRC the Yamato class had some kind of design flaw there, can't remember what it was. In any case the belts didn't go all the way under the keel. No historical accuracy there either, I once ran into a task force with 3 Yamato class BBs (in 1942, ha ha), there were a total of 3 keels laid and only 2 commissioned as battleships, the third was converted to some kind of half assed aircraft carrier. Doesn't bother me, the more targets the happier I am unless I'm out of torpedoes.
