RTWP still isn't realistic entirely because you have to manage 4-6 people who have half intelligence. Half the time, if you don't micromanage them, they do something stupid.
What would you prefer instead? That the game plays flawlessly for you on its own?
I understand if someone finds RTWP cumbersome, but saying it's "unrealistic" because of this doesn't make sense.
Taking the responsibility of controlling multiple characters on yourself means you accept that, "not controlling a character" means "you're telling them not to do anything". If they're "doing something stupid", that means you're relying on AI, which in turn means you're deferring your responsibility to someone else. And if that someone else happens to be incompetent and you're unhappy with their performance, that's also on you. You know what they say, "if you want something done right, do it yourself."
Basically you're asking, "hey I don't want to control everyone on my own, I want someone else to take half the job, but I also want them to do perfectly, against the endless amount of possibilities of things that can happen in combat." Cmon bruh...
"We make our choices and take what comes and the rest is void."
