re: #497 realwest
they actually ought to do something like that if they want to really “train” these guys.
it’s why multi-player first person shooter games are so poplular; there’s nothing like a real, live brain with a weapon to concentrate the mind. After “fighting” AI driven “enemies” real people are much more challenging. It’s why OPFOR units were formed and why battlefield condition training is so valuable. Drills help muscle memory and give you a basic level of ability but actual environment with opposition under controlled conditions allows mistakes to be made without them being fatal.
