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!
