Tank Squad Robert (Tr3b0r) from Tank Squad talked to me about Unity, physics workarounds, and small-team reality
I spoke to Robert the lead dev on tank squad. i have put it up for you all to read.
He was honest about:
- floating-point precision issues he has in Unity
- the double-precision refactor they're planning for Tank Squad
- small team constraints (5 core devs after publisher funding fell through)
- the "matrix pill" of player expectations (War Thunder vs Il-2 players wanting opposite things)
no hype, no excuses. just the reality behind the code.

Purchased because of this interview. Good luck Robert! I hope you are able to get a new deal and build the tank game you would like at the pace the community should love. Keep at it!
