What was happening outside was of no concern to the 20 people in the game.
They were completely immersed in this virtual battlefield.
The driver and commander also returned to the tank.
The driver, still in shock, said, "Finally fixed it, almost got killed."
But after lying down in the driver's seat, he immediately calmed down, turned his head according to the prompts, and pressed the large red start button on the left.
Accompanied by a slight sense of vibration, the frenzied roar of the 1500-horsepower gas turbine quickly spread throughout the crew!
Next to the start button, the complex mechanical instrument panel also began to operate.
The driver ignored these things he didn't understand, grasped the black handles directly in front of him with both hands, and observed the battlefield outside through the rectangular windows in front and on both sides.
Looking at the approaching enemy, he couldn't wait to ask, "Should we charge?"
He couldn't wait to drive this beast and experience the joy of rampaging!
But the commander didn't give the order, instead consulting his gunner:
"Boss, should we charge?"
"Wait a moment."
The gunner, Xu Meng, had his eyes glued to the scope, checking the results of the previous two shots.
Unfortunately, the first shot only blasted a pit in the ground.
The second shot was much better, hitting a troop transport vehicle directly.
But unlike Chen Peng's shot before, where the troop transport exploded and the surrounding enemies were cleared, this time the result was much smaller—
The troop transport exploded, but only about a third of the surrounding soldiers fell.
Xu Meng knew that this was not because of the difference in difficulty between the PC and the simulator, but the second change in the [Stable Version] demo—
After adding the repair function to allow the tank to move, his employees added a more detailed [Armor Durability] setting to the demo.
They designed different durability levels based on the armor thickness of various parts of the tank, so that the tank could more realistically simulate the effects of being hit and damaged.
Of course, you can't feel it right now.
—As far as the tank's thick outer armor is concerned, the clanging sounds of bullets outside are completely tickling, and they can't break through the defense at all.
As long as you don't let the enemy get close and throw grenades, you can basically crush the enemies in the first level without injury, which may even prevent you from entering the second level.
After realizing this problem, they began to feel that the attacking enemies were too weak.
In order to make the battle more challenging, they added bulletproof vests and helmets to the enemies to resist the deadly fragments produced during shelling.
This greatly increased the chances of miscellaneous soldiers surviving under artillery fire.
—At this time, the demo did not have the ability to track every piece of metal and gravel generated by the explosion of the shell.
The mechanism at this time was: as long as the enemy was within the range of the shelling, it would be assumed that they were hit by fragments.
The specific damage suffered decreases successively depending on the distance from the core of the explosion.
This is why Chen Peng's shot directly knocked down a large number of enemies.
Now that Xue Liang and the others have made such a change, the survival rate of the enemy under artillery bombardment has greatly increased.
However, in a short period of time, they can only do this step, and it will be difficult to go further in the future without external help.
Want to track all the fragments after physical destruction, calculate the trajectory of the fragments, and even determine the damage based on the size of the fragments…
Then Li Xingyun has to take the lead himself!
In the past few days, Li Xingyun has not done any substantial work on the demo.
But he has come up with something more important—
[Ricochet Mechanism]
This function has now been added to the [Development Version], and will be updated to the [Stable Version] after testing.
Xu Meng confirmed that the shelling effect was just so-so, so he decisively replied—
"Charge, charge, charge!"
"O~~K!" The driver, who couldn't wait any longer, pushed the control lever hard, the roar became more intense, the tracks began to cycle, and the entire tank moved!
"Reload complete!" The loader reported again.
But when the tank was stationary, Xu Meng relied on guessing to fire, and now it's even harder to mention when running.
The base of the tank simulator has a built-in multi-axis vibration simulation system, which can simulate the shaking when walking on bumpy roads.
Relatively small ground undulations will be absorbed by the tank's shock absorption system by default, and the impact is very small.
But the novice driver of this tank doesn't look at the terrain at all!
He doesn't care about any earth slopes or obstacles, he just charges and crashes.
He even possessed a killer, not dodging or avoiding the enemy infantry, but directly ramming them.
—Of course, that was just incidental, his real target was the troop transport vehicle!
Artillery?
What artillery, no need!
The tank can flatten you!
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
The result was that Xu Meng's perspective was flying around, and he couldn't fire at all.
The commander, who controlled the machine gun on the top of the tank, had a wide field of vision and quickly adapted, frantically sweeping the dense enemy troops rushing up.
The driver looked at being surrounded by the enemy and subconsciously shouted, "Gunner!"
"Where's the gunner?"
"What are you dazing on the battlefield? Do something!"
"Quickly fire a shot at him!"
"Blast open a gap and let us break through!"
The commander's machine gun fire was interrupted for a moment, he looked down in the direction of the driver's seat, hesitant to speak.
Xu Meng smiled helplessly, and without refuting, quickly opened fire.
In the deafening sound of artillery fire, a big hole was blasted open in the front of the tank.
The driver didn't even think about it and rushed straight over.
"Reload complete… damn it!" The loader shouted halfway and suddenly leaned forward!
—The driver drove the tank into the big pit, and the entire tank plunged headfirst!
Everyone quickly grabbed the things at hand to fix their bodies.
The loader was tugged by the safety rope and successfully stabilized his body.
Xu Meng accidentally grabbed the firing handle… the next moment—
"Boom!"
In the violent roar, the barrel of the tank stuck at the bottom of the pit suddenly burst into flames.
The violent recoil burst out suddenly, and the entire tank suddenly took off on the spot with its butt in the air!
The driver, commander, and Xu Meng were all stunned as they watched the ground getting farther and farther away.
However, this take-off only lasted for a few seconds, and the tank fell from the sky and smashed heavily on the ground!
Unscathed!
—Because the Stable Version Demo doesn't have fall damage at all.
But Xu Meng couldn't play anymore.
"Ugh~"
He took off the VR glasses and vomited wildly.
The drastic changes in the center of gravity and visual contrast in a very short period of time actually made him dizzy in 3D!
"Pause, pause!"
"I can't take it anymore, change people, change people!"
The employees who were standing in a circle immediately covered their mouths and started holding back their laughter when they saw the boss taking off the VR glasses.
Only the little assistant Chen Mengling quickly stepped forward to help him, handed over the water that had been prepared, and gently patted his back.
Xu Meng gulped down a lot of water before suppressing the feeling of nausea.
The first sentence after that was: "There's a bug!"
The fact that the recoil pushed the tank into the air was obviously a bug, probably a side effect of his and his employees' pursuit of the ultimate recoil experience.
Zu Rongyao took over Xu Meng's position as gunner and continued testing.
Xu Meng took a breath and watched the game experience of other people from an observer's perspective.
He found that 3 of the 5 groups were still driving tanks and fighting fiercely on the coast—because of the level design factors, as long as the player does not retreat, the enemy will continue to appear endlessly, and they will never be completely defeated.
They are willing to play like this, on the one hand, because it is very cool to play with tanks.
On the other hand, it is because—8 of the 10 omnidirectional treadmills have been occupied.
Two groups strategically abandoned the tank and quickly entered the second level to play real-person FPS.
They are much more tired than the 3 groups driving tanks.
Holding a simulated rifle, wearing VR glasses, and running wildly on the omnidirectional treadmill, making dodging and counterattacking actions from time to time.
Next to the large display, the sub-display can see the pictures of them in the game—
They run in the woods, hide behind tree trunks, and look for opportunities to fight back.
When firing, the muzzle of the simulated firearm flashes with high-frequency yellow light, simulating muzzle flash.
Just as Xu Meng was observing their wrists and forearms to judge the recoil of the simulated firearm, a circle of red light suddenly lit up on the edge of the round platform at the base of one person's treadmill.
Then he dejectedly took off the VR glasses.
—His character died in the game.
Xu Meng was just about to try the effect of the two basic omnidirectional treadmills that no one cared about, but the company's front desk suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear:
"Boss, something bad happened!"
"?" Xu Meng felt that this sounded familiar.
"What's wrong?"
"The police are here at the company!" The front desk lady said nervously.
Xu Meng: "?"
This sounds familiar too!!
Second update, asking for monthly tickets!
