Understood and to an certain extent agree, but the bottom line is that is is 'just a game'

It all depends on how you play the game and what you want from it. Some want a more historically accurate sim. Some play it as "just a game". Some want "immersion" (Nothing subjective here!). Many trade some historical accuracy for the more intense experience of TMO. Some like the SSBN mod.

Who's right? We are!

I like that - 'immersion'

I took would like total historical accuracy, but still its gaming

'Immersion." Something any subsim should have.

A simulation need not be "just a game." It may not be a game at all. But it is never reality.
