RTS that doesn’t feel plastic and lame?

Every RTS I’ve seen and played so far always feels fake and plastic. Bullets have no real power or ballistics, explosions feel lame and only kill the units they directly land on. Minimal environmental destruction.
If someone can recommend something that has the following that would be amazing.

Environmental destruction that actually matters.

Real ballistics and physics, so everything doesn’t feel floaty and plastic.

Good sound design and visual effects. I want bullets to feel deadly, kick up dirt, chip concrete. Hear the panic of soldiers in combat. Listen to the distant gunshots, and the weight of tanks rolling by. See the details of the war machines I deploy.

Satisfying game design. No artillery strikes that only damage the exact unit they land on, even with a massive explosion effect.
And real, meaningful, tactical decisions. I hate feeling like I’m just playing rock, paper, scissors.

And an interesting story line and meaningful stakes would be a plus. Feeling like I’m actually fighting for something that matters.

Games like Bugsnax for my GF

Looking for a game that will suit my gfs niche taste. So far she has played Bugsnax 5 times but will not finish any other game through. This is what she seems to like.

Colorful, fun, creative world.

Well written characters that are likable.

A condensed story, seemingly fun and lighthearted, with hidden adult and dark themes.

The game can be 100% without getting burnt out.

A cohesive quest line, and tasks tracker. (Opposite of dark souls)

Fun puzzles, challenges, and collectibles to get that 100% a game feeling.

Not a crazy amount of text boxes, preferably voice acted.

Fun gameplay, that has a slight learning curve, but will not have crazy difficulty spikes.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be awesome :)
Thanks
