I've pretty much tried it all with regards to realism and accuracy, with mods and so on, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm a bit inpatient and so on, and prefer keeping the realism to the minimum.

I play with 85 % + D.I.D
I could play with 100% but guys over 40 years of age, like me, could have a heart attack from it.

I've re-evaluated what type of player I am. I decided i am DIDID. Which means once I get killed I quit playing, since in real life you only get one chance. I didn't count DID's from silly stuff like hitting bridge Pylons and micro islands while at TC. The simulation plays true. A real life Kaluen had no chance of making it through the war. Now that I got my history lesson, I may mod the game instead of playing it. Only playing to game test. But since the weather here is finally nice. Probably won't be around till next winter.
