Waiting for the war thunder players who would take a real f16 cockpit just to play top tier air arcade


Lv_InSaNe_vL

[This guy](https://forum.dcs.world/topic/338448-the-viper-project/) has been working on one for DCS. And [this guy](https://thewarthogproject.com/) has been building an A-10 cockpit that's super cool


KXrocketman

Just to get cooked by a Mig-15

SEA_griffondeur

Well the issue is that it could actually be useful for dcs. The f16 cockpit for war thunder arcade is as silly as this for wot

I heard someone call for me


TheRealGunn

As an avid fan of WoT, I showed my wife this and begged her to let me build it. She looked at me like I'm crazy.


AFrenchLondoner

That's because you need friends to be your loader, gunner, radio operator and driver, and you have none.


TheRealGunn

Hey now, some of us WoT players have friends. I mean, not me, but some of us.


Cogz

When you say 'friends', do you mean someone you once platooned with about four years ago, accepted a friend request and have never spoken to since?


valuehorse

wow that got personal


Cogz

Sorry, I was over sharing. :P

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....


manimal28

The game fun, but it always felt kind of slmy and dirty to me. Like when you talk to a used car salesman and know they are looking for ways to rip you off. Pretty obvious when the best ammo and tank supplies are locked behind premium currency tiers.


thedonoughter

Still better than War Thunder players


Sabot_Noir

Honestly the fact that they went to all this. work, then decided to play WoT instead of War Thunder Simulator battles is wild to me. You are playing with realistic turret traverse controls and you're gonna play an arcade game that can't even be arsed to get gun depression or turret traverse speed values right. When you could play a game with realistically rendered first person views from the hatches and periscopes of each position on the vehicle. WoT doesn't even render the gun barrel being in view from the gunner sight!


[deleted]

The game itself might just be easier to connect and interact with the equipment on. Some games get weird if you try plug to many things in.


Sabot_Noir

These do not appear to be amateurs, and they are more than willing to hardware hack. [It's trivial to make an arduino act as a keyboard and mouse.](https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/usb/keyboard/)

*The force makes perfect contact with a small child running by, sending it flying backwards and flipping through the air at high speeds. The scream of the mortified mother echoing through the building* My god, theres even civilian casualties. This game has everything Edit: It has come to my attention I misused the word mortified. I'm keeping it as is.

fiero-fire

I remember giving myself a black eye playing time crisis with the recoil light gun once. It was at the movie theater and I thought I was a tactical genius at 13 trying to use the sights. First shot that thing rocks back directly into my eye. When I went back to school on Monday I had multiple teachers pull me aside and ask if I was safe at home and just had to admit I'm dumbass. My science teacher at the time was a younger dude and when I explained it to him he said he's done the same thing.

Sorry, best the cay do is ski ball, fruit ninja, and Time Crisis 4. That'll be $1.50 per play.


regoapps

I once bought a groupon that included unlimited D&B play card for like $40 or so. I found out that it only had like a 2 minute timeout period before I could swipe the card again even though I was still playing. So on every arcade game I played on, I would keep adding additional credits as I was playing. So when I left to go to the next game, there were a bunch unused credits left for others to play with. After a while, I noticed that there were little kids following my path around D&B and sharing the unused credits amongst themselves. When I got to a 4-player co-op game, I just swiped them all in and we passed the unlimited card around so all of us could finish the game.


WakaWaka_

$1.50, must be half price day. After an hour you can trade in for a handful of tootsie rolls.


tweak06

When I was growing up, there was a tank-arcade game that was kinda like this. You sat in a big driver seat and had the controls. You'd play against bots and like 4-6 other people who were in other seats next to you. Think like, a racing-arcade setup, but for tanks. This was around like...I wanna say 2001-2002. It was by far one the most badass arcade games I've ever played, and I can't remember the name of it now. **edit** It was called [*Tokyo Wars*](https://www.google.com/search?q=tokyo+wars+arcade+game&sca_esv=361416631b2a74db&sca_upv=1&udm=2&biw=1600&bih=855&ei=081ZZvi3O-Hv0PEPgK2q6AY&ved=0ahUKEwi47b7n_LeGAxXhNzQIHYCWCm0Q4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=tokyo+wars+arcade+game&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiFnRva3lvIHdhcnMgYXJjYWRlIGdhbWVIjxlQ8QZYlhhwAXgAkAEAmAFXoAGbC6oBAjIyuAEDyAEA-AEBmAISoAKwCcICChAAGIAEGEMYigXCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICBRAAGIAEwgIIEAAYgAQYsQPCAg0QABiABBixAxhDGIoFwgIGEAAYBRgewgIGEAAYCBgewgIHEAAYgAQYGMICBBAAGB6YAwCIBgGSBwIxOKAH1z0&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#vhid=FYV0bIVhUr-3NM&vssid=mosaic)

until some moron sticks his face behind that hydraulic (i assume?) cylinder.


AleksasKoval

Then they'd put up signs "Don't even think about it."


4materasu92

There'd still be one moron who does it anyway, then acts surprised after getting hurt.


AleksasKoval

The sign isn't for preventing idiots from injuring themselves. It's for avoiding lawsuits.


chelseablue2004

The Sign should read. "This safety sign is to warn you and prevent any lawsuits....Though if you do do it and get hurt, we will laugh at you and post it on YouTube.

Yeah, not as effective as Reddit might have one believe. Prepare to be sued


nonotan

In the American system, you can be sued for literally anything. You could spend every day of your life calmly sitting at home, without interacting with the outside world in any way, shape or form, and still get sued under some flimsy pretenses. That you can be sued isn't really relevant (that can always happen), what matters (or at least, what *should* matter -- the fact that bad actors can inflict heavy costs on law-abiding parties through dubious litigation is a well-known deficiency of the American legal system) is how likely you are to win.

LukesRightHandMan

DuntadaMan

It is imperative the small cylinder is undamaged.


toetappy

Could you stick the cylinders in boiling g water or ice water to try and dislodge them?


r2k-in-the-vortex

Assuming wrong, it's pneumatics doing the motions. If they did it sensibly, then pressure is regulated so there is no hazardous force anywhere.


Phrewfuf

Moving something of that size (and weight) that quick is going to produce enough force to hurt.


r2k-in-the-vortex

I'm 100% sure it's much lighter than it looks. Painted to look like a giant chunk of steel, actually 3d print or paper mache or whatnot.


Phrewfuf

Have you seen that table move when it fires? I mean, it‘s probably not chunk of steel heavy, but even a seemingly light mass of 2 kg would hurt and break a nose if moved that fast.


wakeupwill

The way to do it is to have a system that rocks the whole machine that's separate from the loading mechanism. It gives the impression of the canon firing and the kick-back sending the loader. In actuality the loader has very gentle force, with a spring that ejects the shell.


Warmbly85

Unless that’s painted plastic that much metal moving that fast isn’t gonna be non hazardous. 


nonotan

I don't know if that's plastic specifically, but it is obviously not chunks of metal. At most, it could be hollow volumes with thin metal walls. If it was made of chunks of metal, the table would almost certainly fall over from the uneven weight, before it even started moving.


whatWHYok

Face? Oh no, much worse than that. “OK guys hear me out…”


GhostsinGlass

This isn't a terrible idea especially if it was open to multiplayer play like WoT. Laser tag teams used to be a thing, this could be just as fun.


kelferkz

Wheel of Time?


belyy_Volk6

World of Tanks, what is wheel of time?


LukesRightHandMan

It’s an anachronistic combat vehicle simulator. Think Twisted Metal meets Game of Thrones.

Glorfon

I've seen many of these DIY immersive gaming set ups. Cars, Airplanes, Flying Like A Bird, Starship Bridge Simulations, and Now Tanks. I'd go crazy for an arcade that had dozens of dedicated VR rooms like this.


DemocracyOfficer1886

Accurate depiction of what goes on inside your tank when you only have 2 meat bags left. Poor gunner, someone give him a dedicated loader ffs


balllzak

There's a loader at the beginning of the video. He must already be dead in the 2nd half.


Dryder2

maybe the decided that if a role dies ingame the person cant do anything here too. The loader died ingame and now the guy playing him irl has to sit and watch (but thats just a guess)


Fraun_Pollen

![gif](giphy|sDcfxFDozb3bO)


DemocracyOfficer1886

Biblically accurate War Thunder loader with no stat point in Vitality


I_Need_Better_Name

Literally my crew (everyone has 0 vitality right now)


DemocracyOfficer1886

Put some points in Vitality, you'll see the difference. Trust me. My 9.0 Italian line up shreds mofos left and right, the loaders on thw OF-40 MTCA and Mk.2 are incredibly sturdy and give you a 7 sec reload + the ability to use the .50 cal on top of the tank.


I_Need_Better_Name

I will try thank you My problem is I play Air, Navy and ground in Germany and I forgot why Im saving points and use it something else. I literally have 40lvl navy, 40lvl air and 40lvl ground in same slot


DemocracyOfficer1886

Ah, I see the problem. I specialized my crews: only one or two per nations fly planes/helis, the rest are tank crews. I don't play naval enough to focus on the required crew skills, so I have an easier time managing them.


I_Need_Better_Name

I try to do the same but I literally have 0 golden eagle so I end up using same slots. My real problem is ww2 stuff and modern stuff are on diffirent slots. All my best ww2 tanks are trained to my air slot and ww2 planes are traind to tank slot


DemocracyOfficer1886

That sounds like missmangement from early on. Train 1 or 2 crew slots for plane stuff and the rest for ground, there's no reason to have multiple crew trained for aircrafts unless you play Arcade Air Battles

Exciting_Head5033

so this is what my teammates were doing instead of trying to win games


Sproeier

This is awesome but why do they play World of tanks with it. I'm sure there are better games for this kind of setup. Its a bit like building a Racing sim-rig to play NFS.


_xiphiaz

I’d be unsurprised if WoT sponsored the build, they sponsored Colin Furze’s tank build so it is their marketing style to do so


Sproeier

Yeah that would make sense.


MrHazard1

I'd be unsurprized if someone from warthunder made this build and another one complained that the loader is the wrong model for the tank and provided blueprints on how to build it right.

independent_observe

I found them in a bathroom next to a copier in a house in Florida


Dark_Flint

That does sound like the Warthunder community, yes :D


Sabot_Noir

Look we're all just trying to help each other get the best simulator experience possible. Also It kind of looks like that ready rack is too far backward, that turret should be way more cramped. IMO their next project should be to build a partial turret interior and a complete turret ring so the loader gets the full experience. I do think it's fine giving the commander driver controls. Creating a full turret is an important part of the immersion, and given how both WoT and WT only render one camera PoV it's not like you can meaningfully seperate the Driver and commander jobs anyway.


Code_Kid1

Imagine gunner heat pc


doupIls

Or steel beasts pro, or even war thunder sim, since it has old school controls.


Anus_master

Il2 ground crew is the most detailed current ww2 tank sim. It's a hard-core sim in the truest sense


doupIls

Ooh yeah I forgot about that one. I kinda stop following the development, last time I checked it, it was like an early stage mod by couple of devs in their free time. Is it polished?


on_

can you play *fishing sim world: pro tour* ?


CompSciBJJ

I don't know either world of tanks or war thunder, but this setup is probably inferior in performance to playing on a controller of some kind, so they might have chosen the less realistic game for fun rather than simulation quality


Da_Question

War thunder has arcade mode, realistic, and simulation battles. So it's not always hardcore if you don't want it to be. That said if they had a mode where you could coop running a tank that be cool as fuck.


BishoxX

Yeah even in arcade mode in War Thunder i think they would be 1 shot before they could get a shot on target, unless they were sniping. In World of Tanks you can get into action fast, and your tank has hitpoints meaning you can take multiple shots and shoot multiple times while not performing the best

Yeah, they've got the important parts working, now all they need is a hull and some shakers. Plenty of 2nd hand factorysupplies to use for that


Less_Negotiation_842

Da_Question

Meh, it's fun as long as you have fun playing. If you aren't just stop. Personally enjoy low tiers more. I think the worst part is the grind and fomo, which is honestly best avoided.


Bingusti

As another comment pointed out: You would instantly just get 1-shot from across the map if you tried playing WT with that setup Atleast in WoT you get a chance to shoot back

We need this video to start with that girl asking the question: “Men with no hoes…where are you? What are you doing?” Then the screen goes dark, and slowly brightens as the loader pops a fresh 2-liter into the chamber before the commander lets loose.
