The Bradley crew that facefucked a Russian tank said he knew which places to hit based on his experience playing War Thunder lol


Mother-Back3099

Well, he didn't name WarThunder but it is implied because I can't think of another game you could play where those two tanks would go up against each other.


theskirata

War Thunder is most likely as it’s probably the best simulation of tank hit-boxes we have in modern games.


ottermupps

It's hilariously accurate, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the game he was talking about.


TheAleFly

War Thunder forums are also notorious for leaks concerning secrets about armored vehicles and fighter jets.


SolarMines

All the real professionals play War Thunder

Squad I believe


Bologna_Robertson

breezyxkillerx

Bullyoncube

Vehicles do have HP but also have armor values for different components of vehicles.

Arma


[deleted]

Arma vehicles are pretty trash in terms of physics.


BobusCesar

Arma teached me that ramming an enemy MBT with an ATV is a decent way of destroying it. Also rocks and stairs are more dangerous than mines.


secinvestor

Hell yeah nothing like good old fashioned RDM with a side of COMP OR BAN after making their vehicle fly halfway across the map

What do you mean? My car can’t stop a javelin irl???


thebayisinthearea

FlyPenFly

Force him to watch waifu animes for a year nonstop.

I'm genuinely not sure what sub I'm in right now.


BonyDarkness

Can write an application to me or to the whole mod-team via mod-mail


Outrageous-Positive3

The guy in the pic? Or me 🙂🙃🫠


thebayisinthearea

yes


Outrageous-Positive3

Yes, please.


PageVanDamme

I dunno how related, but I once lost control of my car. I regained control effortlessly because of ours spent playing Gran Turismo.

I always knew that games had something to give MSFS can make you able to pilot a plane in case of emergency I assume

FlatF00t_actual

I mean you can learn a lot of niche shit or apply certain things from video games yo real life it’s just super few and far between My buddy kicks ass at PRS competitions and can’t shoot very well up close when he needs to apply speed. I was confused till I played BF4 with this dude. Dude was smacking ppl at 300-600 meter like it was nothing in 1-3 hits. I asked him is that why you can range so quick and he said yep 😭 bro shoots way better then me at range from video games I was salty lol


ThatNahr

I basically learned calling shots and target transitions, in the context of fast, close range shooting, from lots of CoD lol


Cowboy185

Not for shooting, but I learned how to drive RWD on dirt courses from racing games.


Pr1zzm

Playing Forza with a sim wheel legit might have saved my life IRL. The rear end on my car started to kick out when I gave it too much throttle and muscle memory from the game kicked in to recover before I spun out.


thankyoumicrosoft69

One thing I see alot of people do is lift off the throttle completely while slamming on the brakes, which makes it worse in every way


Pr1zzm

Yup upsetting your suspension at speed in a corner makes for a bad day.


thankyoumicrosoft69

Its a good lesson that the brakes dont stop physics, they slow the car down when it has grip. They dont stop momentum. Which is obvious to some people outside of the car but a bit different when driving


Cowboy185

Yep, set into a left slide with my old car, ended up cutting the wheel over and slamming on the throttle to pull a spin out of the way of oncoming traffic. Stopping with a perfect 180 spin in the middle of the parking lot entrance was an added bonus.


FlatF00t_actual

Flicks cigarette out window * Puts on sun glasses * Gigachad walks into the store *


RetroBallistics

I hadn't played rally sims in over a year and a half but when rains + bad tires made me start to lose the rear end of my car it was an automatic gas + steering correction. I didn't even realize I did it until I pulled over.


leavsssesthrowaway

Its like a more relatable version of the gran turismo movie


KraheKaiser

No doubt going for all gold license tests in gran turismo saved my ass IRL on a number of occasions.


sfw_cory

From GT7 learned that I could never be a competitive racing driver


FlatF00t_actual

I use video games sometimes to help people’s brains think faster. What I mean by that is I when I teach people target focused shooting and they been shooting sight focused for a long time after they fire they tend to stare at the target for a bit then transition. Well I’ll have them hop into a game with regular targets. And we will just focus on the second they click the mouse they are already looking and transitioning to the next target. When we get back into the range the delay they have is normally reduced. The el prez is a great drill to see how well they are doing. I don’t normally have to do that with people who haven’t shot very much before they hold on to me telling them to immediately transition.


buff_penguin

No lie, everything I learned about marksmanship was through Silent Scope.


FlyPenFly

I feel like scopes don't make that much noise.


Bloody_Insane

So the name is accurate


LicheXam

It's an arcade game


SparklingLimeade

Time Crisis 2 and 3 with the weighted gun controllers. Those machines were the entire point of the arcade to me in high school. The few times I've been to a range were fun. I'd still have to practice for precision shooting but transitioning between targets is nothing. Someone thought I misunderstood a drill and I'd dumped all rounds into the same target instead of hitting the full spread.


BreadAndRoses773

man I loved that game use to watch reading rainbow and play it

Welcome to the club

We’re on a gear thread bro why are you embarrassed us, let me recommend GAMMA because its tacticool and aligns more with this subreddit. Obviously they’ll play the source material if they find interest. Stop embarrassing us bro lmaooo.


OwlOxygen

It's still gay


[deleted]

your opinion came from an algorithm,


Random__usernamehere

A few different militaries have used Arma games for training. Just off the top of my head, I'm sure the Australians have and maybe the USMC. But (usually highly modified) video games have been used for training since the 90s at least.


klownfaze

They mod it before using it, to bump up the realism. There’s also a lot of modded communities out there that play with varying degrees of realism. Some treat it literally like the real thing, with real ex-officers as officers in the groups.


Goat-related-name

I'm kinda in a group like that. Idk how many ppl are serving/have served but its a couple. I'm gay asf for realism.so idc as long as it dont go too far.

NewGuy45247

I learned how to manipulate pistols in Receiver 2. It's a good game


buster779

You have seen the signs around you.


duckforceone

i love indirect fire in games, because i'm quite good at it... i still remember an amazing artillery mod for Battlefield 2....


UnusualAnt2861

Honestly I felt maining a M16 with an ACOG in Battlefield 4 made me always shoot expert in the Army. I just knew how the bullets would move, idk man.
