And if the war were to be fought again major battles and lesser known actions would all be different and in different places. Convoys would be of different ships and not traveling at the same time and to the same destinations as expected. That's what reality looked like in real time.

Our "historical" mod is nothing of the kind. It's just history in a straitjacket, a comedy, a farce. There is no reality there. Reality was unpredictable. It was two opponents dynamically dancing together in a dance of death, thrusting and parrying on the spur of the moment, changing plans even as they were executed. Anything short of that is not historical but just stuck in a rut.

In RSRDC the Japanese center group enters the area where Taffy 3 beat them up. But Taffy 3 doesn't beat them up. The Japanese fleet just turns around and quits the area for no apparent reason other than 75 years ago they met a different fate. History in a straitjacket is a farce.
