Super cool video. Thanks for checking out our game!

i will never get over hearing the crew scream at each other while threat factor plays in the background

If you zoom in on the MRE box itll say "Who cares dude its an MRE box" or "Leave the house, go outside please"

The devs actually worked with real abrams crews to record these voice lines, which is why they're so realistic. Hearing your crew's voices slowly panic more and more as more targets appears does get a bit unnerving, as it really helps set the atmosphere.

As a retired M1A1/M1A2 Series Tank commander, This is about as real as you can get in a sim. The only issue I have with it is the sensitivity when it comes to firing the missles or even the reticle of Host Nations like russia. Im used to the reticles we have on our Abrams which I can estimate range easy. Not to mention that each of those sights are boresighted prior to going on mission as part of the PCC's and PCI's back when I was in. Its mandatory for gunnery to actually Boresight the main gun and then the Gas sight for precision target shooting as you get two engagements in gunnery that require the usage of of the gas sight. I still say Steelbeasts Pro PE does a better job at replicating real combat scenarios as it has both UK, USSR, US and other host nation vehicles, along with being able to CFF and also use CAS and UAV/ISR assets. also has the same damage effect as you would sustain in real combat from a hydraulic leak, fuel leak to losing a crew and going down to a three man or even two man crew. The optics are exactly Identical to the real vehicles so that there is no confusion at all...GHPC has done an outstanding job. Hopefully they can and will add more vehicles in the near future. Cool Fact: The M113 with the Tow is in fact the M901 ITV Hammerhead. The M1 Abrams you was on is the M1 with the 105mm and the bags you were referencing to on the Commander's side are actually Camouflage Nets. Each Tank carries at least 2 of those which is why the bag is large.

Imagine this combined with DCS… Players in the air and on the ground

This game has huge potential, very happy to see it come across my feed as a Drewski video

Love the CVS receipt length list of weirdly specific damage stats on a hit, "hit drivers right lung"

The particle effects look great and I like the detail when the tank starts cooking off, it looks nothing like I've seen before in games like this.

It's probably easier with a real joystick but I think the Malyutka controls in GHPC make you really appreciate the what BMP-1 Gunners had to go through using that thing.

I think one of the coolest things is the intensity of the Tank Crew voice lines changes depending on the intensity of the combat. Like, if you start engaging tanks but they don't know where you are, the crew is relatively collected, but if the enemy is right on top of you and all around they scream their heads off.

The models are so accurately detailed with their collision meshes that you can put a round down the barrel of another tank straight into the breach. Or you can disable their targeting system and optics with an M2. It's nuts.

Man imagine if dcs combined Arms was like this. And we could finally shoot something other than cardboard targets when doing CAS.

That blood curdling scream feels too real

The jets seen at the beginning would've been either the MiG-23 or MiG-27 Flogger

Tank commander: TRAVERSE LEFT FIRE FIRE FIRE! Gunner:FIRING Loader: Up🗿

Very cool seeing you in GHPC! The game is sick!

a HEAT round to the russian vehicles were devastating due to the fact that soviet tanks had ammo on the turret and turret rings. so when it hit the turret it would ammo rack the vehicle causing catastrophic effects. The fight you was talking about when the Abrams was used in Desert Storm was the Battle for 73 Easting. 2nd ACR's engagement. Also keep in mind that in Desert storm the M1A1 Abrams (120mm) was used and not the M1 Abrams (105mm). Minimum range for Sabot engagements were 1200M and You can engage targets out past the effective range of 2500M. Soviet vehicles had an effective range of 2000M which is why our tanks out ranged the Soviets. The other thing was that Soviets didnt really have night vision to engage targets in the cover of darkness. Having a TIS was one hell of an advantage on the Abrams when it came to target engagement at night. later down the road, the M1A1SA has .50 CAL CIWS with night thermal and it was the only version of the Abrams at the time that the Crew serve weapon was able to be used at night. Eventually the M1A2 SEPv2 came with the CROWS and the rest is history.

Nothing shits your pants more than hearing “GUNNER, COAX, ANTI-TANK!”

This game is super easy to learn, but insanely hard to master! Such a labor of love from the developers too! I even got a free key for this game emailed to me when it was released on Steam because I supported their patreon like a year ago! This game is constantly getting updated and it basically looks nothing like it did a year ago. This is like the Ground Branch of Tank games. It's only going to get better and better. Please keep revisiting it!

As a retired gunner on BMP, one fun fact. Maljutka rockets are guided by wire. With other words rocket is dragging wire behind 😄...and yes it's true, it's hard to hit without a lot of practice. We practiced at least 100 hours on simulator before we got real thing. Even in 90s when I served it was obsolete as f...k 🤣

This game is absolutely amazing and deserves so many more players, I've been playing it since it was only avaliable on browser. Thank you for covering this great game.

I love how the crew is screaming when they are hurt, it's so we'll voice acted, sadly it seems only to be the Abrams now

*rolls intro* *immediately gets rocked by a shell*

As a former Army Tanker, this is on point with crew drills, commands, optics and fires. 🤘🏻 Solid game!

13:30 You're talking about the battle of 73 Easting that indeed took place during the operation "Desert Storm" and marked the end of the Iraqi armour as a fighting force.

Played as demo a few months back and holy shit it's so much more polished. Great game.

I had a tough time adjusting to the older FLIR system in the Abrams and the absolute dogshit thermals in the Gen 1 Bradley. I was a Bradley Commander on the M2A3 and the FLIR in that was absolutely nuts. It can generate a lead on moving targets with the 25mm which is super accurate. I can't wait until the devs add newer vehicles into the game. As of right now, all the vehicles are Cold War Era. They stated that they won't add newer vehicles unless they add a theater where they make sense

GHPC is fire. Had it the last few weeks and all I can say is that I've lost some evenings to it. The Bradly is pretty fun to use.

The 113 is a nightmare, I was a 113 driver in Korea and the damn thing would work for 1 drive before having to be towed. The Bradley was a nightmare to drive but would never breakdown.

Press ctrl + lase to drop lead without having to let go of the right mouse button. Helps a lot with reaquiring targets!

the crew screaming in the trailer was enough for this to be an instabuy

Pro tip, let off the palm switch (quickly release right mouse button) to 'dump the lase' to stop the sight from trying to add lead (the reticle slewing) as you move from target to target. Be cautious though, as you re-lase, you can burn out/overheat the laser range finder from too many consecutive re-lases in a row.

The Abrams first battle was against T-72's. The enemy didn't know what GPS was at the time so they were angled and orientated incorrectly as we came from a place that nobody traveled into since it was nothing but sand with no ability to cross it effectively without gps. We also had laser range finders, it allowed for us to shoot at them accurately from much further away and with thermals and better night vision technology we could see them in harsh conditions such as sand storms and at night.

played their vertical slice way back and fell in love, the game is just on another level.

At the start, those looked like MIG-21's imo. Love that the game has enemy artillery or bomb strikes, makes the game so much more immersive. Game looks really fun! Happy to see you play it.

The voice acting absolutely makes this game. Really gets your heart pumping hearing the commander scream over your shoulder as a line of T-72s push your position

Jeez, the voice lines are intense!

Nice, I remember playing the military sim games from the late 80s and early 90s. This reminds of some tank commander game I played back in the days.

the effects are already looking so much better. really good to see that

I love the long road scenario, it's just a lone abrams vs a lot of tanks and ifvs

It was the Battle of 73 Easting vs T72s lead by then CPT, later LTG McMaster. I was MI then but a TX ARNG M1 TC later in the late 90's and you mentioned the thermals...we could see deer and cattle in the training areas on Ft Hood out miles and even see a dude's pee against a cold background in the woods half a mile out with the 10x main gun sight. Crazy.

The particle effects are really impressive.

Was a massive fan of M1 Tank Platoon and have been waiting for a modernized tank game. Thanks for the video.

Super glad drewski found this game, I hope he makes more videos in the future

As someone who grew up playing Microprose M1 Tank Platoon 2 back in the early 90s, I am really looking forward to this game

Tip with the bmp you can use the pkt as a rangefinder since the trajectories are so close. Works as far as you can still see the tracers or if you wanted to you could watch the damage report.

Battle of 73 Easting and Battle of Medina Ridge are two Gulf War One tank battles that I can think of off-hand.

Please play more of this! I picked it up because of this video and am already like 10 hrs in, it’s so fun!

the IFV combat in this game is insane too, switching between the auto-cannon & ATGM's to take out everything from armor to helicopters attempting to kill you is one hell of an experience. bought it on a whim today and spent all of my sunday familiarizing myself with the M2 Bradley, quite the experience especially since its on sale for the remainder of this weekend.

ive been playing this a bit too, just an fyi when the commander calls out a target if you hit space it will traverse the turret to it

I just discovered this channel about 4 days ago and I am addicted. I am binging every single video

Happily backed this game on patreon about 9 months ago and, still don't regret it. Can't wait to see what this game will become.

Those were MiG-23 Floggers Drewski. Possibly the MiG-23BN from what I can see regarding their flat nose. Really nice to see CAS in the game.

Love your videos/game selection Drewski. One of my favorite youtubers ever!

That tank battle with the Abrahms was the Battle of 73 Easting.

I am absolutely in love with this game, even in its early development stages it has a lot of potential and is super fun. I love the tiny details that wouldn't matter to most, for example I love the kill feed that explains where your rounds hit/what damage occurred, and the after action reports so you can understand what your rounds did (Reminds me of sniper elite, and also War Thunder, but please don't hate on me for mentioning WT, I play that game as well, so I understand).

Would love to see more of this game from you

I was in Ghost troop 2/2 ACR in the battle of 73 easting during "desert storm". The first kill was point blank. That was either my tank or our plt leaders. A lot was happening at the time, which is a whole story unto itself. The long shots happened toward the end of the battle. My gunner hit a target at 4700 meters. Took him a few tries, but he landed it. The main body of the Tawakalna republican guard tank force was made up of T-72's. The 12th Armored Division and 9th Armored Brigade had a mixture of older tanks.

“Hey guys, Drewski here and today we’re playing gunner heat pc”… instantly hit with TOW

I love it when you try new games

I love the after action x-ray shots, that's one of the features that I first saw in War Thunder that I wish were in more military games.

Fav thing to use in this game is the Bradley. Pretty fast, easy to use TOW, and the thud thud thud from the 25mm is perfection.

Strykers have a thermal system built in for the driver and troop compartment where the infantry are held. It's definitely not the best, but the LRAS some strykers equip have insane thermals and probably some of the best magnification ever made.

Those jets at 2:20 were MiG-23 Floggers or MiG-27s which were the dedicated ground attack version of the MiG-23

a little fun fact about the malyutka, if you let go of right click after firing and you have lined it up to where it is intercepting the target, it will center itself out. what you can do then is give small commands if it is off target

You should for sure try the Bradley, it's very fun using TOWs

I have been wanting to get into tanks and armour in games, and this seems like a satisfying and realistic simulator that I can sink my teeth in!

First one was a MiG-27, the one at 18:16 looks like the silhouette of a MiG-21 (Could be a MiG-27/MiG-23 too though)

Reminds me of the M1 Tank Platoon games from '89/90

yes it is great and i hope you guys hold up the great work, would be nice to see a competitor for SteelBeast Pro

Well, since you just uploaded a video on this game, I think you may of just gave a major boost now that more people will see it

Awesome game and absolutely cool devs!

It’s easier when using the Malyutka is aim the crosshair on target and before launching drag down to around the cross at the bottom of the sight. The missile naturally goes upwards so you have to adjust constantly. And it’s not advised to use the missile from below 500 meters in my experience.

I love how I hop onto youtube this morning and the first thing on my page is this video

wanna see more of this for sure

The 113 has aluminum armor it can't even stop 7.62 AP my man 🤣

finally drew made a GHPC video 🙏🙏🙏

I was just sad that you didn't upload and I really hoped for it then you did. wow. thanks!

I'm pretty sure those jets at the beginning were either Mig-23BNs or Mig-27s. You can tell by the slanted nose. Great video though, Would love to see more GHPC!

Spall are fragments of metal that flake off from the inside of surface of a vehicles hull but typically stay within their compartment of origin. Still very dangerous. Those x-ray views are showing the penetration from the round itself. Spalling can happen with or without round penetration but once that HEAT enters the crew cabin, spalling obviously becomes less of a concern.

Those are floggers drew, quite the nice looking jet, goes fast too! Anyways can't wait for it to be added to dcs

From what I can tell this is a more accessible and cheaper Steel Beasts. Great game imo and I recommend it

I’ve been supporting this games development on Patreon for a while. Great team who so frequent dev streams to keep in touch with their community. Definitely consider supporting them with a purchase. In future updates they plan on adding CAS support (non-playable, you just call them in on a grid square) and more nations too. Next I believe they’re adding Soviet Russia with T-80’s and later the Brundeswehr with Leopard 1’s etc. Lots of potential here :).

Love to see more of This game.

That screaming of fire commands gets me every time. This is ridiculously funny.

what i want is a new arcade like tank game to come out but in the modern era kinda like armored warfare except that it isnt on full blown life support since the get go and that the studio actually works on the game

Great video! I love anything to do with Tanks ( I just bought an RC lepord tank). I will definitely be picking this up on payday

Thanks so much for that review .

Nice video. Please upload more of this. Glad to see you being wrecked! I had seen some other youtubers playing this and the AI seemed to be rather dumb!

If anyone's wondering about the jets, they were definitely either Mig-23s or Mig-27s. The airframe of those two is the exact same so it's hard to tell without looking at the nose of the planes in question.

Only took 25 years to relive those M1 tank platoon days. What next a Gunship 200 type game? Brilliant.

For the bmp 1. I noticed if you aim the missle far down before you fire you can get it to fly straight yoh have to aim really far down though

Those fighters seem to be MiG-23 variants or maybe even MiG-27 CAS.

12:07 the way Drewski says "boop" and then it crits the t72

Didn't realized this video until someone mentioned it in my comments! It's nice to GHPC getting some good exposure :)

The jets were MIG-27s, a close air support jet used by the Soviets. It was created by taking a MIG-23, cutting the nose in half, and strapping the 30mm rotory cannon from a naval AK-630 CWIS to the bottom.

15:52 rudely interrupted lmao

I knew it was gonna be Gunner Heat PC! Just from the first three words of the title and thumbnail. Great game.

Been thinking about getting this for so long.
