War Blitz (Version 0.1.1)

BACKGROUND

This videogame is an udpate of the previous version of the game War Blitz (Final Degree Project). The purpose of this update is testing all the new mechanics that will be part of the final videogame.

The main goal of the entire project is design and develop a ww2 combat tank shooter to learn some skills about penetration simulations and balistics.

This project is simply educative, not commercial. There are some errors and is not well optimized, but it is being optimized and updated. 

The thickness of the armour plates and the penetration effective of the tanks are not 100% true to reality.

The language supported is only Spanish.

ABOUT

You will take control of a Panzer VI Tiger, and the objective is kill a  Sherman M4A2 (76W). It will respawn when destroyed, so you can test different ways to neutralize it. It will not suppose a threat for you, it is like a shooting range.

UPDATE

- New penetration calculation, more realistic and adapted for future types of ammo.

- Added multifragmentation. A projectile can now penetrate more than one armor plate.

- Added projectile life status. The projectiles lose energy when penetrate until they cannot penetrate more armor plates, so they will be destroyed.

- New fragmentation simulation. It integrates the new multifragmentation feature.

- Removed the previous version's map.

- Fixed hitboxes of Sherman M4A2 (76W) 3D model.

- Little optimization (residuals objects are removed at runtime).

GAME MECHANICS

The main features is the integration of a penetration and armour calculation. A lot of parametres are taken into account (velocity, caliber, thickness, angle, etc.). 

If a projectile can penetrate any part of the tank, this will generate an internal fragmentation that can cause the kill of the crew of the ammo explosion. In this version, the projectiles can penetrate more than one plate.

When a projectile penetrates, a preview of the simulation of the fragmentation appears to give you the information of the impact.
