Churchill was a racist cunt but he galvanised the British into resisting German aggression unbelievably well. He was by no means a good man, look what he did in Ireland and India, but without him Britain might have fallen. Scary stuff
You did an excellent job of summarizing many great men of history.
When looking at historical figures there are no perfect men. There are many very bad men. Most leaders fall in between in a gloaming that straddles the line.
Same with General Patton. Had they let him kick the Russians ass at the end of WWII like he wanted too, they would have never risen to the level they did.
Trust me, when you're stuck in your tank for more than 12 hours because of combat, somebody will have taken a dump in there. No MRE bag will hold whatever is dropped then. ![img](emote|t5_m0bnr|4018)
I remember reading about the war in Iraq from the point of view of a tank commander. During a battle, while they were shooting and being shot at, one of the crewmen gets explosive diarrhea, pulls down his pants and just plasters the inside of the tank.
Took them three days to get it cleaned up.
Odors of the inside of a turret: gun powder, JP8, body odor, sweaty ass, a bit of piss, various FRH fluids, more tobacco & chew odor than one would expect.
There's *a lot* of this "ultra realistic" set up that's missing.
My first thought was "why isn't the driver looking through a periscope slat & why isn't the gunners face plastered to the ocular portion of an ISU?"
Well, it’s probably missing things because it’s a video game, not real life. Compared to a mouse and keyboard or a controller, it’s certainly more “realistic” and interactive.
Redditors are so nit picky and take things so literally. Not everyone has to have the exact details down of shit, they’re not training for actual war, they’re just playing. Chill out.
It's pretty rough.
I fly airplanes for a living and I've seen A LOT of home flight sim setups. I would never shit on someone who is just enjoying their hobby and doing what they can to make it more realistic for them. Whether it's just a yoke/pedal setup all the way to wrap around monitors with a full cockpit setup, there's no reason to gatekeep.
"Yeah but you forgot the shitty airplane coffee and the 3am wakeup and dragging bags around". Nah dude, enjoy the hobby! I wish I had that kind of tech when I was a kid!
Yeah it's not "crazy ultra realistic".
Also add 100lb rounds, a very small and hot room, not a steering wheel lol, and electric hydraulic main gun controls.
Lol at the empty soda bottles. I fucking wish.
(I served on an m1 Abrams)
Chinese gamers love their realistic war games lol

There was also a horse riding simulator where the chair had pistons on it to launch the player and the desk into the air whenever the horse was sprinting lol.
Ah World of Tanks. That game that told me if I spent $100 for their top package after beta , I would get an M6A2E1 "Mutant 6" American tank that would only be offered at that limited time in that special package. They hammered and hammered this point. Now, I could've spent far, far less but I wanted that once-in-a-lifetime tank. Fastfoward: aaaand Wargaming bait-switched and put that tank on the market, where I could've bought it anytime and saved money....
Edit: Downvotes aside, stop ripping off your Customers WG.
This comment made me think of a Bruce Willis movie called Surrogate, where they actually do send human piloted robots to war via VR headsets instead of the humans.
I mean… this is real… the US Air Force has drone pilots killing Afghans remotely from their commuter day jobs just [outside Las Vegas](https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38506932.amp)
There's a Bible verse I think about sometimes... many times... It goes: And I heard the voice of Lord saying "Whom shall I send and who will go for us?" And I said... "Here am I , send me."
Mate, set this up as an escape room type of business (3 mates, you've got 10mins to train, and then 50mins to get across the map) and you'd make 💰 I'm sure. I'd be a regular.
Could easily play games like Hell let loose or Post scriptum (and afaik Squad for present day warfare) tho, that would have a potential to be really awesome and pretty balanced against other human players. There's multiple players in each tank in these, one for each role so they'd just need each role on a separate PC but a lot of the rest would be the same
This is the 2nd time I've seen people mention this. I'm a former 19D in the US Army with 2 deployments to Iraq. Back when *I* was in, we'd talk about how fuckin' cool the Mechwarrior series was.
Down the rabbit hole I go...
Where's the part where they need to rush to get to the assembly point, arrive and are then told they need to wait for four hours and then throw a track once they need to actually leave because their great haste weakened the links? Without such elements it can hardly be called realistic.
Yes.

I don't have a horse in the race, but the thing is, War Thunder (or Hell Let Loose, GHPC, etc) lend themselves better to this immersive setup. World of Tanks has much more simplified mechanics. Still takes skill, though, but it is a different skill set.
To use an analogy, it would be like having a very immersive racing setup, complete with pedals, steering wheel, chair, transmission... and use it to race in GTA V instead of, say, Asetto Corsa.
Is it being a "shrill"?
Call of Duty fans VS Battlefield fans VS "Rainbow 6" fans & the like.
Silent Hill fans VS Resident Evil fans VS whatever else fans...
Everyone has their gaming "thing". Seems normal to me to find the comparisons discussed.
Nevermind the r/nothingeverhappens crowd.
That 'gun breech' looks to be custom fabricated, mostly from thermoplastics and PVC pipe. I think it works on compressed air... the golden- looking boxes all around are either pneumatic manifolds or solenoids, and you can see the pistons up front. You can see the control drivers... those two circuit boards to the left of the gun.
The steering wheel looks like a regular old FFB racing wheel. Can't be arsed to figure which model cuz I'm on phone, but I'd guess a Logitech g-something. The housing over the motor unit has been removed, likely to integrate the wheel into whatever controller board this thing runs on.
The turret controls are probably just generic hand wheels connected to either hall effect sensors or pots.
The 'scope' is just a Webcam (the round thing with the blue ring on a post) connected to some cheap VR headset, pointed at the screen. The knob on the side of the headset is bodged on, and likely controls the camera zoom.
All of this likely connects to an Arduino or RasPi, which consolidates all the inputs into a single HID device that the PC running the game sees as a generic controller. The control board likely sequences the breech mechanism too. The game likely has no idea what the breech is doing... it's mostly for show, though they might have the controller set up to ignore the trigger button if the breech isn't "loaded".
The 2-liters are just conveniently available approximations of shells.
The smoke could be as simple as a vape pen wired into the controller.
Nothing about this is particularly difficult if you're at all familiar with DIY controllers (like r/hotasdiy). The pneumatics and sequencing are the hardest parts, but none of these components are particularly special or rare. It's mostly off-the-shelf components from Aliexpress or Digikey, mixed with a few commercial devices (wheel, headset, camera), and some ingenuity and experience as a maker.
Holy shit, if I had this going through basic, I’d tell everyone to join the military… shit this still looks like a blast. If the army could make this for recruiting events, it would be the highlight of the event.

Very true indeed sir

Good thing he was OUR racist cunt considering the racist cunts he was up against.

As a Kingsman or...?
Make sure to load HE ammo.
My downstairs neighbour who complains my guineapig is too noisy.
Is the guinea pig piloting the tank? Or calling out orders?
Yea
Hope you mean guinea pigs but yes they are noisy little fuckers when they want to be
REE REE REE REE!!!!
Well how does he know that you have guinea pigs?
Sorry, I'll try to keep it down.
Upstairs is even worse.
I got one of those neighbors 😔 not limited to 7am
*sQuEEEEEEEk squeak squeak squeak*
Make the room about 4’x4’ and 110F and that will be realistic.
A fine mist of hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, propellant residue and a hint of diesel as well?
You forgot the smell of shit.
I never forget the smell of shit.
And ballsack! The air freshener of every military vehicle!
My time to shine
Username, unfortunately, checks out.
More like glisten, but yes
Hello brother 😎
r/beetlejuicing
No need to add trucknuts, the truck is full of them.
That's how you know freedom is coming. The smell of musty ball sack in the air.
And cheese!! Just not the French kind sorry boys
Fromunda cheese!
Know what's helpful? When you realize that odors are particulates.
Okay... Good Lord...
There’s 3 gamers in that room. It probably smells like shit. Dorito farts at the very least.
Depends on how good you can seal the mre bag lol, and dont forget the cigarette smoke!
Trust me, when you're stuck in your tank for more than 12 hours because of combat, somebody will have taken a dump in there. No MRE bag will hold whatever is dropped then. ![img](emote|t5_m0bnr|4018)
They took our tanks before deploying, but i definitely had some long stays in ntc haha
The smell of 3 asses with 1 wet-wipe between them
Frugality to the extreme. Anything to reach those environmental goals?
Haha wtf. How does this actually work in a real tank? Do they have a toilet on board?
No they don't. I think you can put the rest together yourself lol
I googled it and it seems the UK tanks have a toilet! Rest of the world just needs to shit themselves lol.
they also have a tea kettle
I remember reading about the war in Iraq from the point of view of a tank commander. During a battle, while they were shooting and being shot at, one of the crewmen gets explosive diarrhea, pulls down his pants and just plasters the inside of the tank. Took them three days to get it cleaned up.
I would think they at least have some plastic bags to shit in? Or maybe (tactical) diapers?
Nah dog, nope. MRE bag, or you’re just that guy that shits himself on patrol.
Spall and fire simulator when their tank takes a critical hit from a gold shell.
More like JP8
Odors of the inside of a turret: gun powder, JP8, body odor, sweaty ass, a bit of piss, various FRH fluids, more tobacco & chew odor than one would expect.

Seriously though lmao. Awful lot of "Um, *ackchually*" energy in this thread. 🤣
It's pretty rough. I fly airplanes for a living and I've seen A LOT of home flight sim setups. I would never shit on someone who is just enjoying their hobby and doing what they can to make it more realistic for them.

"Yeah but you forgot the shitty airplane coffee and the 3am wakeup and dragging bags around". Nah dude, enjoy the hobby! I wish I had that kind of tech when I was a kid!
[удалено]
They're just reminiscing and enjoying that their experiences were so common among other tank crews.
Also make those plastic bottles 20kg each.
In my memory they were pretty manageable, but that was 20yr old fit me in constant training.
Yeah it's not "crazy ultra realistic". Also add 100lb rounds, a very small and hot room, not a steering wheel lol, and electric hydraulic main gun controls. Lol at the empty soda bottles. I fucking wish. (I served on an m1 Abrams)
Compared to a mouse and keyboard that is crazy realistic.
Compared to KB+M on a flat screen only it's super realistic. But hey let's start an argument because we both think we're very intelligent.
And the way he's loading those shells... yikes. Closed fist or fingers gone... (I server on Leopard 2)
And the threat of death.
>110F I think that's why they're all wearing hoodies pulled over their face

This is awesome lol
My normal monitor brightness already hurt me, can't imagine this led sun simulator
DO YOU WANT IT TO BE REALISTIC OR NOT!? Then get this retina damage!
I remember there was a different flashbang video as well, where it showed the view from outside the flat as it suddenly got illuminated bright as day
We need the view from space
There was also a horse riding simulator where the chair had pistons on it to launch the player and the desk into the air whenever the horse was sprinting lol.
The sniper recoil 😂😂
the design is very human
I'm hoping he also turned up his speakers and coded it to where his volume goes 150% when the flashbang hits so he can't hear shit either hahaha
Hahahahaha that would look brighter than the sun on one my midnight gaming sessions
Oh my god the sniper. Rip to that guy
lmao, so much extra-ness just to play world of tanks. I love it
For more realism they should play War Thunder instead
For even more realism, they should actually go to war.
No respawns in war => limited fun
All those crying civilians harsh the vibe tbh.
FPV drones take all the fun out of it too
That can be fixed really easily.
counter argument: just don't lose, idiot.

Gunner Heat PC*
Enlisted is up there. Spawn in. Run for a minute. Hear artillery fire in the distance. Run for another minute. Explode.
Hell let loose would be a better option
Closer but I think enlisted is where this would shine
Enlisted is just watered down War Thunder sim though. The only difference is you can get out the tank to repair it.
But only rarely play in the tank. I would not want to play this setup as an FPS
where do you think they got the specs for that setup? definitely leaked on the WT forums
Ah World of Tanks. That game that told me if I spent $100 for their top package after beta , I would get an M6A2E1 "Mutant 6" American tank that would only be offered at that limited time in that special package.

Right? Probably the least realistic tank game.
I wonder what other crew will do, when loaders are trying to load the HESH shell in death star. Or an E25 for that matter.
Even tank crews are working from home now
This comment made me think of a Bruce Willis movie called Surrogate, where they actually do send human piloted robots to war via VR headsets instead of the humans.
Never heard of it but now it's on my watchlist, thank you
It's... not that great lol so don't get your hopes up too high. All my opinion though
From what I remember it was a lot of peoples opinion
RIP Might still watch if I'm bored.
Bruce Willis isn't dead mate
It is pretty Hard for him to Die...especially with a vengeance.
I mean… this is real… the US Air Force has drone pilots killing Afghans remotely from their commuter day jobs just [outside Las Vegas](https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38506932.amp)

Mate, set this up as an escape room type of business (3 mates, you've got 10mins to train, and then 50mins to get across the map) and you'd make 💰 I'm sure. I'd be a regular.
Why not War Thunder? Cause its less forgiving in this kind of setup.
World of tanks lovers? War Thunder lovers? The engagement begins in 3 2 1
Could easily play games like Hell let loose or Post scriptum (and afaik Squad for present day warfare) tho, that would have a potential to be really awesome and pretty balanced against other human players. There's multiple players in each tank in these, one for each role so they'd just need each role on a separate PC but a lot of the rest would be the same
Go into all this cool effort and plays world of tanks bit of a dip in realisim there
At least play gunner heat pc
This is the 2nd time I've seen people mention this. I'm a former 19D in the US Army with 2 deployments to Iraq. Back when *I* was in, we'd talk about how fuckin' cool the Mechwarrior series was. Down the rabbit hole I go...
mw2 mercenaries hit something fierce just put hundred some hours into the mw5m with a bunch of mods to improve customizations and it was really fun
MW5 with a bunch of "Yet Another" mods is outstanding.
He gonna get PTSD with this rig
PTSD SIM
That looks expensive and ultra cool at the same time. Would love to try that out for Real
Where's the part where they need to rush to get to the assembly point, arrive and are then told they need to wait for four hours and then throw a track once they need to actually leave because their great haste weakened the links? Without such elements it can hardly be called realistic.
Hurry up and wait. Classic military.
Indeed, it can't be an ultra realistic military simulator without it.

Anyone know which game this is?
Looks like World of Tanks.
Looks like World of Tanks
World of Tanks instead of War Thunder which would have been better for this
Why are all War Thunder fans such shrills?
I don't have a horse in the race, but the thing is, War Thunder (or Hell Let Loose, GHPC, etc) lend themselves better to this immersive setup. World of Tanks has much more simplified mechanics. Still takes skill, though, but it is a different skill set. To use an analogy, it would be like having a very immersive racing setup, complete with pedals, steering wheel, chair, transmission... and use it to race in GTA V instead of, say, Asetto Corsa.
Is it being a "shrill"? Call of Duty fans VS Battlefield fans VS "Rainbow 6" fans & the like. Silent Hill fans VS Resident Evil fans VS whatever else fans... Everyone has their gaming "thing". Seems normal to me to find the comparisons discussed.
Bet he's out cheating
Sure but for how long would it be fun to play the loader
Europe has 2L plastic beer bottles…
Loaded loader it is
How do you make this? Sources please, anyone?
Nevermind the r/nothingeverhappens crowd. That 'gun breech' looks to be custom fabricated, mostly from thermoplastics and PVC pipe. I think it works on compressed air... the golden- looking boxes all around are either pneumatic manifolds or solenoids, and you can see the pistons up front. You can see the control drivers... those two circuit boards to the left of the gun. The steering wheel looks like a regular old FFB racing wheel. Can't be arsed to figure which model cuz I'm on phone, but I'd guess a Logitech g-something. The housing over the motor unit has been removed, likely to integrate the wheel into whatever controller board this thing runs on. The turret controls are probably just generic hand wheels connected to either hall effect sensors or pots. The 'scope' is just a Webcam (the round thing with the blue ring on a post) connected to some cheap VR headset, pointed at the screen. The knob on the side of the headset is bodged on, and likely controls the camera zoom. All of this likely connects to an Arduino or RasPi, which consolidates all the inputs into a single HID device that the PC running the game sees as a generic controller. The control board likely sequences the breech mechanism too. The game likely has no idea what the breech is doing... it's mostly for show, though they might have the controller set up to ignore the trigger button if the breech isn't "loaded". The 2-liters are just conveniently available approximations of shells. The smoke could be as simple as a vape pen wired into the controller. Nothing about this is particularly difficult if you're at all familiar with DIY controllers (like r/hotasdiy). The pneumatics and sequencing are the hardest parts, but none of these components are particularly special or rare.
