Girls und Panzer/WMG: Difference between revisions

Some side interactions complicate this hypothesis by depicting the use of tanks in ways that would be completely nonsensical in even the most thorough virtual arena, such as waking up Mako with a blank round (unless she's so narcoleptic that she falls asleep in the virtual world?), going shopping, being repaired by high-school girls, or being transported away from Oarai in the face of its impending shutdown. However, it may be the case that the tanks themselves are real (presumably they are permitted to be driven around in the real world for publicity purposes) and are placed in simulator pits for battle, much as modern aircraft simulators use replica cockpits mounted on hydraulic platforms and surrounded by screens. Having the real hardware would enhance the sensations of the simulated battle, and would also explain why Team Anteater struggled to adapt to tankery from their gaming experience (as the tanks would still require physical effort to operate) and why the automotive club was given the temperamental Tiger (P) (as any real-world mechanical malfunctions would translate into the virtual world).
