lionel4power: Maybe not. The Badger simulator is a physically built Badger internal layout. You'll have your steering wheel, pedals, firing system like you'll find in the actual vehicle. Only the external world would be "video games". But however, the "video game" world is designed to be like the actual world (maybe southern Africa). The physics would be realistic ie behavior of objects (like ammunition) in relation to gravity and wind. 20mm shells would behave different from 76mm shells (and on) like they would in the real world. Then you'll have real time networking with other Badger "players"... If the system is a cross platform, other simulators (like the navy and airforce) are also synchronised. There's no respawns, dramatic music or any Hollywood effect besides the sounds of engines and shells. Since being in the simulator is "free" then you can have your machinized training over and over without firing expensive shells and missiles. 4 Likes |

ssaengine: I gotta say I have respect for these guys. Developing a simulator is no joke. Myself and GreenandGold tried it (because the world wasn't producing "enough" games for us). You literally have to develop a game engine first then create the world with attention to detail, then fill it up with realistic textures before you even create the models (people, vehicles and all).... The game engine on its own can take a team of software engineers a year to develop (provided they're motivated by great salaries), the world can take years.... Then when you're done you'll get a 14-year-old online bitching about the gun sounds.. WTF ![]() 6 Likes 1 Share |

Talk about simulators, I'm currently replaying Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. I'm playing US Spec Ops in variety of missions from disabling SAMs, radio towers behind enemy lines to clearing flanks for mechanized (surprising the Chinese flanks on foot). Forget about Call of Duty and Battlefield rubbish, this is the approved simulator deal. 1 bullet takes you out at 400m. Bullet simulation is real, tactics are real. I feel like Frumentius for a second ![]() NB: Operation Flashpoint and Arma 3 are what they use to train US soldiers while sitting on their butts. 2 Likes |

Have the Namibians discovered offshore oil?

This is the same ship, it's currently docked in the Port of Ngqura, Eastern Cape.... Unbelievable.

Off-topic: Look what showed up at the Port of Ngqura.. A monster ship carrying an offshore drilling rig destined for Walvis Bay (Namibia). That's the same carrier ship that towed a US destroyer after it was smoked by Al-Qaeda in Yemen. 1 Like |

jln115: I learned that the Americas are slow in the field, they don't run as quick as our boys but of course they compensate it by their efficient team work and solid platoon command structures. 2 Likes |

newafricaken254: The Chinese treat the military as an overlord institution, it's the ultimate arm of the state so it should look like so... In my country, the military is just another state department that's not even more important than the DoE. So if there's no government institution with "statement" buildings then why should the military have one? 1 Like |

or they could be destined for some UN embargoed country using South Africa as a front.

ssaengine: Maybe it's the SASFB, they're the only guys with Eastern weapons and where cocktail buying is allowed. With that in mind, they're not gonna say they it out loud that they made a purchase. |

gees9: The TRT was meant to supplement the shortfall. If you have seen the Mpumalanga N4 heist video, the guy makes a phone call to the Nelspruit SAPS which is roughly 27km from the scene what he didn't know is that there's a TRT unit in the nearby township which was just 10km from reacting. They would have reacted in time and probably come across the suspected vehicles and nail them. As you said before, an effective crime intelligence system is needed. 2 Likes |

ssaengine: I don't think the organisers chose a good location for that. The Eastern Cape or possibly KZN would have been better. They would have at least went to real villages with real people and do simulations around that. Then visit the locals for their humanitarian activities, they would have more than a handful people to help out. |

gees9: Maybe with new national leadership (president) we could send other guys to be schooled by the FBI like the Scorpions. This is getting out of hand. A CIT heist this morning, an attempted heist on Sunday then the Mpumalanga one caught on video last week as well. The gangs are having a field day. |

ssaengine: It seems like the Americans came prepared... The South-Africans weren't interested in the show... Them being in Lohatla I thought they (the SANDF) would bring out the big guns, roll over some sh#t and invade some imaginary country like they did in the Eastern Cape. |

gripenc: It's officially the most boring Shared Accord by far... No beach landing, no night assaults, no urban warfare, no machinized, no air jump assaults like last time... I'm disappointed. They should take it back to the Eastern Cape, maybe they can add jungle warfare as well and make it interesting. 1 Like |

jakeporeshenko: With a spree of cash-in-transit heists taking place around the country, we need more of these guys. |

newafricaken254: I'm showing you local private security companies using the rifle. Why on earth would they import a European rifle considering that there's like a surplus of these around. Below is TSU Security Group with the same rifles 4 Likes |

newafricaken254: Yes, at a single glance it may look like it but in reality it's the civilian R6. Compare attached picture. Same bodyguards.
