There are no games that emulate reality 100%, all rules are an abstraction of reality and whether you like those abstractions is entirely a subjective opinion.  No set of rules is a true simulations of the actual fighting;  the simulation comes from the decisions you make in response to outcomes within the game.  It doesn’t necessarily make one set of rules “better” than another.  I would say it’s possible to argue that some games better reflect reality to certain ways of thinking but ultimately that is also a subjective opinion because it’s not really possible to compare cards, tables and dice rules to live action;  that’s literally just a preference for specific game mechanics.  All games have strengths and weaknesses, things that they handle well and things that they handle poorly but that doesn’t make one set of rules a “wargame” and another set of rules a “game”.  Warhammer 40k is as much a wargame as any other set of wargaming rules.
