@tankkommander good question.

To me what makes a game Historical is purely that it uses History as it’s “Fluff”.

If I pick up a game and the only background I need to know is the History of the Period then I consider it Historical.

Realism is a totally separate subject to me and something that spans all genres. I’ve always been bugged that in 40K you don’t get both and Armour then an Invulnerable Save (you might now I’ve played 2 or 3 games of 8th).
