Did ShackTac for a while. I agree but also in so many ways it's not immersive at all.

Like all the years the physics were just busted and tanks would flip over and explode because the engine couldn't handle the terrain geometry. Really sucks the fun out of your all-night commitment when that ends your mission for the night "because realism".

Getting a vehicle squad assigment was pretty much an 80% chance this was going to happen to you at some point.

Very eye opening experience though. It's disturbingly easy to mess up your navigation and radio comms and start having friendly squads shooting each other when obscured by trees... The wrong squad leader (and/or inattentive teammates) will get you killed as fast as anything.

If you want to learn rigid comms discipline, that is the right place to learn it.
