Hello, what is your view on fps games (cod, bf, etc), as a soldier?

How popular are they as recreation activity during deployment, and what is the actual military policy regarding its use ? since I suspect they could have negative training effects, because certain game-mechanics just do not reflect real weapons manipulation or combat situation realities..

Thanks. thats interesting.

A question about using vr in actual training... I know systems like the dismounted soldier training system has been around for several years, and vr has been used for a long time for aircraft, and more recently ground vehicle training.

What kind of vr systems did you get to use during your training, and how effective are they for training? Are you aware of any interesting things about current systems? - as long as its not classified of course.

btw, is 19k specific to M1 Abrams tank? how small is your outside field of view as a tank operator? The norwegian army was testing oculus for their tank operators. I imagine a HMD that would allow you to "see thru” the tank body, would make driving it much easier.
