This is still my favorite post of this thread. And this is the reasoning behind why I want my Gato to have lasers and nuclear torpedoes.

Realism is why we play simulation games. The "excuse" () of it's that way in real life is the AIM of a SIMULATION game. i.e. you're SIMULATING a REAL LIFE situation. At least that's why I play. I think the interpretation of reality is measured by the end results you get out of playing the game. If you set up certain rules and a gameplay system and end up being retired out after a successful 3 or 4 patrols, then you've mirrored real life results and have probably done a good job interpreting the reality of being a Pacific Sub Fleet skipper.
