Indeed it isn't a video game. Recent footage from Vuhledar shows how Russian tanks and IFVs drive one after another onto a minefield.[1] If anyone programmed NPCs to play like that, they'd get crushing reviews on Steam. In total, Russia lost more than 100 vehicles over several such suicide attacks, and this is only a very narrow sector of a long frontline.
