Dave playing World of Tanks is a dream that came true to me, since I know that game very well.
Powerlevel ahead.
WoT is not the easiest game to learn and to play and even harder to master. It is much about knowing yourself, your vehicle (its gun, movement, armor) and the maps. On the PC version you have friendly fire and team killers, and I can only imagine Phil rage quitting that game or not touching World of Tanks outside of a sponsored stream with a ten foot pole.
He would start with tanks from low tiers and it takes forever for a new player to get to better ones, and even then there are so many mechanics Dave would certainly ignore. Side-Scraping for example (moving your tank towards enemy fire at a certain angle to force shells to bounce) or using equipment, consumables, trained crews or enhancing your tank. Unless he gets a higher-tier tank from Wargaming or Twitch, which will double the salt because from a certain tier the opponents punish every little mistake. In-game chat will be glorious.
For those not knowing about WoT: in the low-tiers you have to play pre-WW2 tanks or early tank models, for example the first tanks used in the war are at tier 3 or 4 (M3 Lee for example, Matilda, various German Panzer I, II or IIIs). Famous war tanks like the T-34, the Tiger or the Sherman are even highter tiers, and tier X has basically tanks from the 70s (no Abrams for example). Not that Dave cares since outside of CoD WW2 he has barely seen tanks in video games that also appear in World of Tanks.
It would be interesting if he comes up with how many war movies he has seen, like "Fury" (whose main tank from that movie is in the game), and his understanding of tanks in history. Which can only be zero.
Rage-inducing moments can be:
- Dave getting his tank stuck or falling on the side with nobody to put him back on the tracks (console version has a 10 second automatic reset but not PC)
- friendly-fire, which happens a lot
- him shooting too many team members because of bad aiming, which could make him "turn blue" (your own team can kill you for retaliation without punishment)
- Dave getting killed by artillery fire out of nowhere
- Dave playing artillery which boring as fuck
- Dave drowning himself or killing himself
- Dave having his shots bounced by the enemy
