A group of dedicated World Of Tanks fans have taken their love for the game to a whole new level by creating an incredible fan-made tank simulator that has been capturing the attention of gaming enthusiasts worldwide.
Using a combination of a racing wheel, a VR headset, and a homemade hydraulic cylinder, these friends have crafted a truly immersive gaming experience that goes beyond the traditional setup. The simulator allows players to control a tank in World Of Tanks with intricate mechanics that mimic the real-life operation of a tank.
A video showcasing their innovative setup has been circulating on social media, drawing praise from viewers who have hailed it as ‘the best DIY simulator’ they have ever seen. In the video, one person uses a racing wheel to steer the tank, while another operates a homemade hydraulic contraption as the tank’s barrel, and a third person manipulates a swirling mechanism to aim and fire the tank’s weapon.
Adding to the realism, a VR headset is positioned above the players’ heads, serving as a periscope to provide a view similar to that from inside a tank. The intricate setup allows the players to interact with various components as they navigate the virtual battlefield in World Of Tanks.
The video has garnered significant attention on social media platforms, amassing 30,000 upvotes on a Reddit post and sparking admiration for the creators’ dedication to crafting such a detailed simulator. Viewers have expressed both amazement and amusement at the elaborate setup, with comments ranging from praise for the creativity involved to humorous remarks about the extent to which the creators have gone to enhance their gaming experience.
While the original video was shared on the Chinese video-sharing platform BiliBili, details about the creators remain scarce. Speculation suggests that the simulator may have been developed by students at a school or university, showcasing their ingenuity and passion for gaming.
Despite the lack of a tutorial or detailed explanation of the construction process, the fan-made tank simulator stands as a testament to the creativity and dedication of gaming enthusiasts who are constantly pushing the boundaries of immersive gameplay experiences.
