Sailing directly into the wind is surely not the best sailing technique?

And also, i play games, not sailing simulators.

Maybe you should make a thread about how in majority of FPS's these days you can take at least 10 bullets to the body and just walk away.

Well making sailing a little more realistic wouldn't affect the gameplay in any real sense (unless it was turning into a sailing simulator) for example on WindWaker instead of the boat speed being fastest when going downwind, it would be fastest going perpendicular to wind direction, with a graduated slowdown towards downwind and upwind (and then a "dead-zone" when aiming too far upwind)

Changing the health in an FPS affects how you play the game a lot.... Similarly with spaceflight making the physics realistic in a 3D environment would probably make it boring (though with some games it could certainly be made more realistic)
