Hei Anton, it seems that you've got philosophy problem. Tell you what, Marek is the best SP philosopher ever, so just try to read his explanation carefully, slowly, and eagerly so that your philosophy problem can be really solved. Anyway, if you don't like SP, why don't you choose another real time wargame? Like CloseCombat? But as for me, I think wargame that uses real time mechanic, is just another form of football game in PlayStation: the AI goes all over the entire gameplay, you're just given single control of the entire eleven players.
I ALWAYS believe that SP is one of the best Wargames ever. And that believe always make me love SP even though there's such a philosophy problem. Just try to play it over and over again, don't think about the problem, play and play it, and then you'll find SP is the most realistic wargame.
If SP is unrealistic, why then it still stand for more than a decade? Although the graphic is 'old enough'? Why don't you read SP's review over the internet, like this one:
