Game Suggestion: War Thunder COOP

[alpine pond]

TLDR
It’s kind of easy to implement Neuro to War Thunder. She can have an idea what’s going on in game and make her inputs without vision.

This will be an essay so please strap in. I’ve wanted to post this for a long time, but my anxiety held me back.

War Thunder has this very neat api called localhost:8111 (very creative name). This API is integrated into the game, so every time you start it, it runs in the background. It gives a lot of data for air battles. I don’t want to list all of them because it would be a long list. I’m just going to drop a documentation here (“state” tab is everything about the aircraft).

So what about it? Vedal could feed Neuro data from this API so she would react to the most of the things in air battles. She could comment on speed, altitude, engine temperatures, events (damage to other players/killfeed).

Now about the CO-OP part. You can do a lot with keybinds in War thunder. Some of them you can give to Neuro. She could be a 2nd pilot and have control over missles/rockets/bombs. Vedal could fly and Neuro on Vedal’s command would do (or not) stuff with weapons. They’d have to work together to be effective.

Now I want to talk about tank battles. API here is kinda useless. It gives only speed of the tank and events (damage to other players/killfeed). Neuro would know if the tank was hit or if they are on fire or if they had destroyed anyone. My COOP idea here was to make it a crew thing. Neuro could have a control over tank, Vedal could have control over gun. Like IRL crews Vedal would have to give commands to Neuro where and how to drive.

If you are here thank you for reading. I know it’s kinda chaotic but I tried to make it nice. I’m going to bed. Please don’t destroy me in comments.

How API looks like in browser below

Some free thoughs I have.
WT is really streamer friendly, you can hide chat feed, your nickname etc;
Devs would be more than happy to give Vedal press account (no grind needed) and give him some money (sponsored stream?);
Swarm can make some skins for tanks/planes (example);
It's possible to make a sound modpack and use it in battles;
Realistic tank battles have planes too. Also they are slow enough to give time Neuro to talk/react etc;

co-op where Neuro can control the gun whilst Vedal does movement
that's pretty cool! Now Vedal only needs to solve the simpler problems of aiming and firing as opposed to using computer vision to path to the location. I guess he could even swap around and take control of the gun whilst Neuro tries moving.
Twin co-piloting would be cute.

Perhaps the same approach could be replicated for minecraft. Have Vedal control movement whilst Neuro (who is in his backpack) does all the mining.

I know it’s kinda chaotic but I tried to make it nice.
Although it was a little daunting at first, I found it readable. You're succinct and your paragraphs are well structured

It's neat that WT already exposes an API for this. It probably cuts down on Alex modding time a ton.

Imagine WoT gamers join this WoT stream and sees cute anime girls and a depressed driving a tank or a helicopter.

ngl military gamers are probably more hardcore weebs than we are

Just a little bump to keep ideas somewhere please don't kill me

Just about to suggest👍

It would be kinda cool to have a Neuro army vs an Evil army with them leading their players - could make a good war stream

Aiming wise it might be possible since i do remember that the crosshair turns green if you pointed at an enemy tank and neuro could just auto fire. (will it one shot?, unsure) but that could an event somewhere that can be used if neuro pointed at something.

Now ideally what we need to do is get neuro to aim at something, so we could do, is what she is used to already which is osu where we put a mask and add white color values to enemy targets that she sees in her vision.

Then get her to aim at that target and fire

Honestly we might be able to get the twins play the game in some way

Evil neuro could just drive around with a different vision

This is why i said ideally because this is hard af

And if you managed to do this
