When unearthing a tank, I was tasked with finding the tank using a metal detector. While the UI is confusing, some parts of it could use enhancements to improve it. These menus are displayed with explanations, but only upon discovery, leaving me to resort to online guides to find the information I needed to progress. This leaves a lot to be desired for new players and can come off as overwhelming. Following that, I had to navigate to the tank analysis screen to see a list of every part listed on the tank itself, with its repaired state displayed with a percentage bar. Once a contract is accepted via email, it’s up to the player to move to a separate menu to find the goal of the contract, described vaguely and without direction. This results in a lot of time lost to searching piece by piece of the tank trying to find the last spot of rust or where to repair.Īlong with the confusing menus, it can be hard to discover which contacts you are on, or what the goal is. They are buried within a radial menu that can lead to in depth analysis of each tank and their parts, but give even less description of where that part is. It’s easy to choose the dismantle menu over the repair menu, or even miss discovering the menus exist. Menus upon menus give confusing points of interest on a tank as well as indicating what the overall goal per contract is. Tank Mechanic Simulator has little to no onboarding for newbies into the series with a barebones interface that can seem clunky. This style has a specific focus for the hobbyist at heart and less so for new beginners. ![]() While it’s easy to get lost in the busy work, there is a high barrier to entry with a game like this. Much like one would expect when building a model plane, the satisfaction comes with achieving small manageable goals with hard work, time and persistence. ![]() It’s easy, once figured out, to put on some music, zone out and get absorbed in working on a project. The process generally has to do with grinding away rust, sandblasting, repairing parts, painting primer and applying full coats of paint while investigating part integrity before purchasing and replacing said parts. The accuracy makes this a real possibility including part names and functions to educate as well as entertain. The detail and catalog of tanks is impressive, making me think this very well could be used as a training program for those going into such a career field–like using a flight simulator to become a pilot. The real meat Tank Mechanic Simulator is renovation–using your tools to repair parts of the tank, sandblast rust, repaint and disassemble the tank down to the bolts. ![]() You can also explore the museum where you will display your tanks, ride out into the obstacle course, and see specific sites to excavate varying World War II tanks. This garage is where you spend a majority of your time with all the tools at your fingertips. You are also given tools with upgrade trees to improve your interface, as well as how you perform the tasks at hand. You are given a computer with an email ticket system that allows you to take different orders, order parts, and access a museum for future use. Tank Mechanic Simulator starts similar to other games in PlayWay Publishing’s catalog.
