>It looks like the U.S. Army has fully embraced the America’s legions of gamers, but don’t start freaking out about the endtimes just yet. In Operation Overmatch, an upcoming online video game developed by the service, two teams of eight soldiers take command of an assortment of tanks and armored vehicles and do battle with new and advanced war machines.
>But Operation Overmatch isn’t all fun and games. The Army intends to monitor and solicit feedback from troops on how the up-armored killing machines they pilot in the game fare, so the service can figure out what weapon and armor concepts are worth pursuing before committing to real-life prototypes. That’s right: Soldiers can now put those hours of Battlefield to good use beta-testing for America’s next big war.

Why the fuck is the military making video games now?

Military has been making games for decades now. Simulation or combat training.

To my understanding militaries have played out potential conflicts using hex and counter board wargames for quite a while too.

The army has used vidya as a recruitment and propaganda tool for ages.

Lately, the technology has gotten good enough to simulate real world circumstances, allowing them to see what works and what doesn't, ableit in a broad sense and lacking the unpredictability of real life.

I forsee that htey will eventually make use of VR to remotely pilot vehicles.

Count me in
It would be hilarious if game devs overpowered one weapon due to simulation limits and USF end up with a shitty equipment due to some unbalanced vidya.

They licensed the War Thunder engine didn't they? Not that I am against it, it'd be great to get a good armored combat game with it.

Why. Afraid of change you old fuck? Move aside gramps. The greatest gen in coming in and things arent going to be the same. No more will the way of racism and bigotry stand in our way. We are here. We are now.

>Kriegsspiel (German: [ˈkʁiːksˌʃpiːl], "war game") was a system used for training officers in the Prussian and German armies. The first set of rules was created in 1812[1] and named Instructions for the Representation of Tactical Maneuvers under the Guise of a Wargame. It was originally produced and developed further by Lieutenant Georg Leopold von Reiswitz and his son Georg Heinrich Rudolf von Reiswitz of the Prussian Army.[1]
