So, Watch_Dogs.
Setting aside the rest of the game there was at least one very interesting element, the "hacking" skills.
Infinity wargame has somethng simmilar in combat hacking.
Also I've recently seen a report of an US army exercise in which the soldiers disable the nemy team drone using an electronic rifle(in reality an antenna and a small computer capable of emmitting whatever it is that disabled the drone attached to an airsoft rifle to aid aiming).
So what I was wondering is has anyone elese thought about this idea of electronic combat/combat hacking and what kind of things you think could be done.
I'm not really looking at too much realism but I'd still like it if the concept made sense.
For example the ability to raise one those road blocking posts or change the traffic lights
makes sense to me beacuse I believe those are the kinds of things that could/are remotely controlled from a central system in a city.
On the other hand somebody blowing upa transformer/gas pipe or disabling a power armor or someones cybernetic arm remotely makes little sense to me because i don't see why someone would make something like that remotely controllable.
Anyone interested in saying a bit about what kinds of things are possible in real world using hacking/electronic warfare or a bit about how its done is also welcome to type away.
