Tank numbers

As part of the current visual overhaul effort, new models in GHPC are getting support for tank numbers.  These identifying marks will be consistent with real-world application for the vehicle in question.  For example, on this T-55A, the 3-digit number is painted on the turret, and the last two digits are copied in the metal stencil cap on the rear turret light for convoy driving.  

This is just one of the many new features on its way in GHPC!  If you'd like to suppo...

GHPC visual overhaul

With the prototype build a success, the GHPC team is working on upgrading the project's visuals to something deserving of the detailed ballistics, armor modeling, and other subsystems.  But there's a catch - building out excellent visuals means commissioning lots of skilled 3D art, and that takes funding!  

If you're considering a pledge on Patreon, now is a great time to get on board.  Your support will directly help the game get on its feet and move the timeline along ...

Names for GHPC credits

In the next patch, one new addition will be a credits page accessible from the main menu.  Here all of the contributors, financial or otherwise, have a chance to be recognized.  Patreon subscribers are foremost among these.  

If you have not already responded on Discord, you can message me with the moniker you would like to be known by, and it will be listed on the credits screen.  

Vote on the next vehicle commission for GHPC!

We're currently working on an Abrams, Leopard 2A4, T-55A, and BRDM-2.  What should come next?  You decide!  Choose your top few favorites from this poll.  The poll is also posted on the project's Discord channel for Patron input.

Separating public and patron builds

As an additional benefit to subscribers and a way to better curate unstable features, the game's public release will now be updated at longer intervals than the one available to Patreon subscribers.  The existing game on itch will serve as the public build.  

To get access to the restricted build as a patron, check the patron Discord channel's pinned section, or see the accompanying Patrons-only post on this page.
