  • American Armoured Foundation Tank Museum located in Danville, VA. Besides an amazing display of over 100 armored vehicles, they also feature an elaborate, miniature indoor battlefield for 1/16 scale Remote Control Tanks! Participants travel from many states to join the group event held several times a year.
    The tanks are fitted with an Infra Red battle system which, when the tank receives a hit, disables it from firing and moving for a number of seconds. Each tank has a finite number of lives before it is permanently disabled until the end of the game.

    How to improve this: all participants cannot see the field, but wear POV goggles from a camera on their own tank. Each round fired makes a loud noise, and a real muzzle flash. Each tank shoots a small paint ball. You cannot stay stopped for longer than one minute.

      I don't see any game being played. Its just explore the "battlefield" with your cute rc tank. The time and effort to create the battlefield is noted. I have made much smaller tabletop dioramas, fitting on a pool table, which took me weeks to complete on my own.

    • @ThunderstruckElectronix
      @ThunderstruckElectronix 2 роки тому +1

      In the military we could have exercises where we had 2 sides fighting each other and a bunch of referees who judged the outcome of a firefight. Let's say that group 1 ambushed group 2, and group 2 didn't take enough precautionary actions, or got attacked from an angle they didn't expect aso, then the referee would judge the amount of casualties each side took and both sides had to act out the scenarios, where a group might have to retreat, and keep fighting while they at the same time have to deal with having 4 ppl injured to the point where they cannot walk.
      I could easily see how something similar could be adapted to this situation.
      2 tanks are having a firefight? One has cover, the other one is in the open and has its side exposed for a portion of the fight?
      Someone who's well read or who have real life experience/education could easily judge the outcome of different scenarios.

      Using BBs or airsoft guns would make this game way to complicated and difficult to play as the turrets can barely fit a bb cannon in there. Instead precise thermal laser cameras are used to accurately depict if they hit the rc tank. Then the tank loses control and you have to manually go and pick up the tank and reset it. Or the tank shines red from its led lights and notifies you that your dead.

    If you are into tanks, armored vehicles, military uniforms and weapons the AAF Tank museum is well worth your time and money. Been there 6 times over a 15 year time period and it gets better with every visit. It is such a huge warehouse and there are so many things to see, the owner rides a bicycle around. He is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable plus, he packs a six gun. Highly recommended.

The Tanks goal is to fire at Godzilla until he drops or changes color. Godzillas goal would be to smash all the tanks with it's hammer. And as other commenter stated- give tank driver pov goggles. Fire extinguishers will be on ready just in case Godzilla is covered in flames.

    What would really be make this interesting is if all the tank operators worked from a back room with POV monitors to cameras on the Tanks.
    Standing around operating your tanks, you might as well have been a drone or helicopter watching the entire battle field.
    The spectators can remain in the battle room. It might give a more unique perspective to the tank operators using POV.

  • @PeterRichardsandYoureNot
    @PeterRichardsandYoureNot 3 роки тому +5

    So, to make this REALLY cool a couple things need to happen.
    The tanks need to operate at scale rate of speed as well. Having them race out of the spot and race across the map is unrealistic.
    Need to put cameras on the tanks for POV and have screens above the map for each tank showing their POV. This would pull the audience into the experience like nothing else giving a ground level feel to the viewing angle.
    Make it so operator can only operate tanks from this POV in another room. Having them stand over the map feels like cheating as you wouldn’t be able to see the whole thing in a real situation. It would make the need for cooperation along teams much more of a requirement like real life. Audience could listen in on audio (provided it’s not overtly r-rated ;-) God mode view is no fun.
    Realistic sound effects would be awesome, but even more so, realistic firing smoke when a tank fires. As a spectator seeing a huge puff of smoke would be a really cool experience and make the environment pull in audience like a magnet. ‘Check out over there!”
    Have live target reactions on the tanks. If you hit the turret , it would literally pop off with a cool explosion sound fx. Makes the damage seem realistic. Hitting the side or a track would slow the tank down to half speed of regular move speed for a limited amount of time.
    Add mine fields and other road side IEDs randomly though out map. Optionally have dedicated mine sweepers that would have to clear the way for tanks.
    Have a gunner and a driver. Like a real tank the driver would not be loading and firing weapon. Separating them would make it closer to reality as well.
    I love this setup but soooo much more could be done with relatively low investment to make this a money maker attraction and closer to real life experience.
