Gunner Heat PC - The Best Tank Game You've Never Heard Of

[@Seaners]

Thanks For Watching! (Sorry for the reupload lol)

[@brosefmalkovitch3121]

By far the most important aspect of the game is the control scheme, you can't simply point and click as you would in Warthunder, you need to slew the gun in a way that a tank gunner would realistically be able to do. I've read on the discord that a joystick is actually pretty useful for controlling turret movements, I think someone even rigged up their surplus M1 gunner joysticks to work with the game somehow.

[@oltsu1234]

If thats the case i have to try my t flight x with the game

[@quan-uo5ws]

im stealing an entire T-62 control panel from a nearby junkyard

[@raz_hz]

​@@quan-uo5wsLet me know how it goes lmao

[@unnameddelta38]

Been playing GHPC since the first batch of Steam Decks shipped and it is great fun and feels pretty intuitive with the proper control scheme

[@oltsu1234]

@@raz_hz Worked fine but you still have to press a separate button to activate aiming. And the sensitivity setting is quite bad as it limits how fast you can traverse/elevate the gun. Higher values fix this but then the gun being too sensitive becomes even worse. Want to be competitive > Mouse Immersion > Joystick

Been following the guys practically from the start, it's been a ride. So happy for them that people enjoy the game.

[@thegenericguy8309]

T-72M1 is extremely rare in campaign. T-72 Ural derivatives of East Germany such as T-72M and T-72 UVs are far more common, and these lack turret composites and hull add-on armor and are thus much more vulnerable

[@ruffynowa580]

only thing that currently holds me back from diving into this game in full is the abysmal A.I and the fact that the enviroment doesn´t get destroyed when you roll over a fence or something. the rest is absolutly good. its been a while since i last looked into it. maybe i give it a go again

[@samargrewal929]

22:06 the developer's have comfited future theaters will come later as DLC 25:10 the British and France where not stationed in Fulda so they will not be appearing right know with DLC that could very much change however 25:50 ghpc is single player focused and MP likely ill not change that so no 26:00 everything on the roadmap is more or less has been confirmed so I'm not Shure where you got that peace of info from

3BM20 for the 100mm and 3BM15 on the 125 have nothing in common, its similar to the naming in west german armament. DM33 105 and DM33 120 are vastly different projectiles. esentaily the naming restarts with different calibers.

[@thegenericguy8309]

nope, from a constructional perspective, 3BM20 genuinely is just a scaled down 3BM15. check the tankgrad website's T-54 article in the ammunition section, they go into some detail on the subject alongside cutaways

[@thegenericguy8309]

the M60A3 did indeed have a really, really shitty stabilization for the gunsight. the game didn't initially have it like this, and it was updated to how it is now after a number of interviews the devs conducted with former M60A3 crew members.

[@kasualmechanic4854]

Been playing since early access, and its incredible how far this game has come, hard to believe this game has been around since 2020 like it feels like it came out yesterday. Like I can't wait till infantry gets added, then more factions (Germans and Brits), then possibly even more theaters like South Africa VS Angola/Cuba, Japan/South Korea VS China/North Korea, like the amount of possibilities with this game are insane Edit: How dare you slander the T62 (my beloved), yes it lacks thermals and a LRF but that 115mm gun packs an incredible punch and is so high velocity that you really only have to adjust your aim past 500m or so, on top of that when you do use it on campaign, from experience you only really fight M60 Passives (occasionally TTS) and maybe Bradelys which with good strategy/tactics can be countered. Its only against Abrams when you are truly fucked and even then, thanks to 3BM28 with a well placed shot you can still cripple them

[@davegaracci1043]

Reminds me of M1 tank platoon II - probably the best armor simulator at the time it came out.

3BM20 is essentially just 3BM15 scaled down to the 100mm gun of the T-55. it's slower and smaller owing to the less powerful gun, and thus for obvious reasons it is less powerful

[@rostokk2706]

The game needs gameplay that is not just missions you can cook up in an editor in 5 minutes. Are there any details of how the expanded campaign will look like? If it's all just randomly generated content I think there's going to be a major issue with the game getting stale fast. + no object destruction, little difference in terrain (i know it's fulda but atleast add the outskirts of Frankfurt or even a counterattack into east germany or something). Lots of work ahead of the team and I worry they might get burned out just adding vehicles to appease the playerbase.

[@quan-uo5ws]

After the bundeswehr gets added i think that they are going to work on the stuff you just pointed out. The game has a strict timeline (1985) with a strict historical accuracy, so there arent going to be that much vehicles added.

[@christianbethel]

Does this game have offline bots?

[@sosigakaweinerman869]

I have heard of it, I have played it. It's not exactly obscure

[@cerberus3280]

Looks like a good start to a great game. One thing I don’t like… the thing about always having laser pointers and range finders you kept going on about. Really hope they add more with out those things. Just like sniping you learn as you go and refine your eyes to drop and range

[@ActionScripter]

Many of the vehicles lack laser rangefinders, and some have interesting manual rangefinding equipment. Playing T-55, T-62, T-64A, or M60A1 RISE (P) is a bit of a skill test. Also if you really don't want to use easy mode the Abrams and M60A3 TTS have backup sights with standard ballistic drop marks.

[@WaffleTrooper]

The laser range finders are a little more tricky than they immediately appear. They can also get damaged and knocked out unexpectedly. You should definitely still give it a try.

dont use GLATGM as for now after you fire the dust kicked up by firing completely blocks your vision moving target at 2500 meters you shoot need to wait 2 to 3 seconds for the smoke to clear by that point the missile is almost there and you have only a short time to correct you aim

Without a good dynamic campaign and systems outside of operating a tank, this is not a game. It’s a demo.

Feels like a game that you go "Neat!" upon seeing, but wait a year before it's finished. Then you check it out again next year, only to see it's still in EA, so you say "Neat!" again. And again, and again, and again. Hopefully I'm wrong and just jaded from EA devs being flakes and dropout hacks, but the game hasn't changed much from when I saw early footage of it some years back.

[@johnwicks4936]

Best tank game is Steel Beasts by a country mile. This is sim light, arcade. More sim then World of Tanks but that’s not saying much. This is a pretty shallow tank sim. One map, no life on the map. You can drive right through objects. Very limited commands in the tactical map. Limited vehicles. No crew stations in the tank (crucial in a serious sim). The multiplayer is for co-op pve not pvp. It’s been two years and we still don’t have troops. Meanwhile Steel Beasts is infinitely more complex, tons of maps, fully modelled vehicles and crew stations. Much larger and longer missions and is created by a company that uses it’s software to train real world military tank crews. It continues to grow and expand. Nothing wrong with Gunner Heat PC for quick tank blasting but I see too many people confusing this as the “most realistic tank sim”. It’s just not even close.

[@kolbybrown1775]

Steel Beasts costs over $100 dollars and is a hardcore training simulator not a game. GHPC is more realistic than World of Tanks and even War Thunder but it is still made to be a game for people to have fun.

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

God please stop saying T-64 follows the T-62, not it doesnt. T-62 is a hiccup in soviet tank development intended to justify the research and funds allowance to the first smoothbore MBT gun, the 115mm Molot. T-55 >> T-72 T-64 >> T80 T-72+64+80 >> T-90

[@thegenericguy8309]

T-62 was hardly a hiccup, it was just a product of its time - an inexpensive tank that denied the new M60 tank the range advantage it had over the T-55. the T-64 was a monstrously promising development but it was too expensive at the time, and the motor-rifles needed a tank that worked against the newest threats and which was cheap enough to procure without the tank unit's more generous budgets. it also had a number of ergonomic improvements over T-55, a good example being the much, much safer turret spare arrangement
