Upcoming content

Over time, the GHPC team has shared some teaser material in various places (mostly the patron channels on Discord), but we haven't always made sure to share it here as well.  In the recent poll, several of you indicated that you'd like to see more content in these updates, so that's what we'll do.  This post is an attempt to catch up the Patreon feed with the content that was missed in the past.  

Please note that the content shown here is not guaranteed to arrive in the ...

Patron feedback poll

Hello everyone!  It occurred to me recently that we do most of our communication and teaser posting on Discord (server link on https://www.gunnerheatpc.com) and only occasionally share content here, aside from release notes.  I want to reach out and ask whether this arrangement is satisfactory for all of you, as well as gauge the general feeling on other aspects of the project.  

If you like, you can use...

Patch coming soon

Hey everyone!  We're still working on the new patch, with the engine upgrade, new control remap screen, and more.  The to-do list was long, the month was difficult, and there were more bugs than we expected, so it's probably going to take us a few more days to make sure everything's ready to ship.  

While you wait, here's a screenshot from the latest internal test build.  Stay tuned for news of the release!

GHPC version 20210505 patch notes

This one brings a list of enhancements, particularly a feature we've kept completely secret until now: the addition of crew voices!  US tanks in the demo will now have their crews issue fire commands, guide your gunnery, and react to events.  Voice lines for more vehicles and nations will follow when we're able to add them.

Hello everyone!  We're pleased to announce the next update to the Patreon demo will be released on April 1st.  We will also be holding a stream on our Twitch channel at 8 PM EDT.  Details are in the link.

This update will bring the M1IP Abrams as a Patreon-exclusive vehicle.  Like the T-72M1, the Abrams will be locked in missions for all free public demo players, but patrons will be able to use it freely.  This is by far the toughest and most deadly tank in the ...

Is there such a thing as too much composite armor?

No, there is not.

Development of the M1IP is entering late stages!

WIP teaser clips from fire system

Hello!  The GHPC team is hard at work preparing AI and damage models for the (hopefully) end-of-year patch.  I wanted to take a quick moment to share some teaser videos from early testing of the fire system.  

There's a lot of detail under the hood here.  The system supports fire spread, fire suppression, compartment temperature changes, cookoff, and sympathetic detonation.  It even tracks projectile entry holes as possible vents for smoke and flames!  It's...
