we have loads of strategy games nowadays. i love them, specially war games , but is it true that playing in these games can make real general from you ? they are making more and more realistic games , so if they are real - can you tell that victories on virtual battlefield helps you to become real fighter ?

they would be good for training IF soldiers obeyed your every command no matter the insanity of it and you never had communications problems etc. o yeah and if we fought wars where you can make troops at 10x a minute and they all jump out of a building and they all have great big laser guns. but other than that, yeah, strategy games could make you the next napolian or something like that.

Its kind of like fighter pilots using simulators isn't it? I remember a combat sim I bought years ago for the PC...it had the Eurofighter in it....amazing graphics for the time.....and apparently they used to use it to train the pilots as well....or so I heard.

Like Snake said in MGS2.
"VR training never comes close to the real thing."
The forces would not make one a commander with only VR experience,even if trained by their systems.Practice makes perfect.ect.

It helps but it doesn't count for everything... Think of it this way...Who would you trust in battle?
a. A man who has shot real gun loads of times?
b. A man who has seen a gun shot loads of times?
