Developers are short sighted in thinking that it has to be one or the other.
For instance i would like to see a game that covers several periods of time, offers mission editor to let the normal player create scenarios to play online as well as a terrain editor to create maps without having to be a level designer. To pick military units and equipment from various time periods to play authentic scenarios.
They also under estimate the entertainment aspect of immersion into history.
A game that would let you be in Bastogne one night, and at Inchon another night, and so forth.
There was a game in development like that not long ago. Something like "world of guns" or something. Took you around the world from ww1 to modern to different scenarios. It had an impressive list of weaponry.
But I haven't heard anything of it in a long time.
