WWII Tank Battle Scene made with Unity HDRP - Lighting, Animation, VFX, and SFX

The purpose of this scene was to get familiarized with EmberGen and to sharpen my super basic programming skills.
Initially, I only wanted to do an explosion effect and to animate the tank how it gets destroyed with some basic triggers made by code, but then, I quite liked the feeling of it and I added another tank, a guard tower, and a plane. After that I told myself, why not create an environment to make everything feel more dramatic, so I did and this is what I got, half cutscene and half gameplay.
The scene is not 100% finished, there are still many things that could be improved, but this was more than enough for my exercise and the amount of time I've got. Hope you like it!
