SEV: What am I REALY getting for my money?

[Raapys]

I'm wondering if the Simultaneus Movement game type works the same way as it does in SEIV, i.e. all battles have to be auto-calculated?

Playing single-player I've found that I by far prefer the Simultaneus type of play, but it's a rather big sacrifice to have to cede control of all battles. A MoO3 type system would have been awesome in single-player.
