There’s no doubt that gamers will go to extreme lengths to achieve realism in their favorite racing game, flight sim, or shooter. However, one group of World of Tanks players has taken the immersion to the next level with a custom controller setup requiring a three-person tank team including a loader for a reloadable cannon.
A brief video appeared on the internet recently, showing the setup in action. One person acts as the tank driver, steering the war machine using a Volkswagen steering wheel. A spotter uses an Oculus Go VR headset to check the sightline and aim the cannon, using a series of cranks that mimic the real controls. Rounding out the team is the loader, who loads empty soda bottles into a working CO2 cannon for each shot.
