(Image credit: Blyat on Bilibili) Some folks will go to great lengths, sparing no expense, to raise their gaming sim experience to thrilling new heights. Perhaps the crown prince of such extreme sim build-outs is Chinese enthusiast Blyat, best known among Tom’s Hardware readers for his immersive World of Tanks gaming contraptions and, most recently, a (frankly dangerous) fighter jet rig . Today, Blyat released a video showcasing his wild Tank Simulator 5 , which comes with a full-size replica machine gun and cannons, on the Chinese video-sharing platform Bilibili.
You can watch the full video on Bilibili, but, as we can’t embed this Chinese social media format, we have also made a couple of GIF clips for your convenience.
Bylat’s new video is a showcase of sim hardware-enhanced fun inside the free-to-play hit, World of Tanks . The Wargaming-published vehicular combat MMO features an incredible array of tanks, adept at various battlefield tasks. The PC version is closely tied to the mouse and keyboard control that the platform is renowned for. However, this video is all about fun, and doesn’t go into the technical aspects of getting these crazy sim setups working.
