GHPC Update 20241124

3:39pm

GHPC Early Access has been updated to version 20241124.

This is a regular update, introducing new features, adjustments, and bug fixes.

We've got plenty more in the works for GHPC! As always, you can get additional info by visiting our Discord server and YouTube channel. Links are on the GHPC website[gunnerheatpc.com].

INFANTRY PART ONE

As a major feature on our early access roadmap[gunnerheatpc.com], infantry has been planned for GHPC since the beginning. Today, the first phase of that feature arrives. This update introduces mechanized infantry for the US Army and the National Volksarmee (NVA) in a specific set of missions. These troops perform mechanized assaults and entrenched defenses depending on the mission scenario.

Missions with infantry in this build:

(NEW) Valley of Infantry (Eastern Hills)
(NEW) Dancing Devils (Fulda Outskirts)
Obscene Odyssey (Eastern Hills)
Native Narrative (Eastern Hills)

Adding infantry to the game was a coordinated long-term effort by a team of multiple specialized developers, including new team members we hired specifically for their skillsets in relevant areas. All of those involved have displayed incredible persistence and energy to bring the feature to life, and we are grateful for their hard work.

As implied by the "part one" label, today's update is a first iteration, a way to get the feature in the hands of players and get a more complete picture of how it integrates with the experience. There are more infantry-related features and missions on the horizon, and we will release these when they are ready.

In this iteration, troops are equipped with basic rifles and light anti-tank weapons. Specifically, we have the M16A1 and LAW for the US Army, while the NVA are equipped with the MPi-KM and the RPG-7. In close-quarters confrontations with other infantry, soldiers will also pull out and use hand grenades.

Troops only fire at targets they have a reasonable chance of damaging, so the riflemen tend to ignore any vehicle with armor and only shoot at enemy troops. However, if a soldier with an anti-tank launcher gets in range of an armored vehicle, they will take the shot.

Infantry have a variety of behaviors, including changing stances, ducking down when they take incoming fire, and varying their fire rates based on the proximity of the enemy. Nevertheless, they are unarmored and highly vulnerable on a mechanized battlefield. In missions featuring friendly troops, you will need to take special care to protect them from enemy armor.

You are probably wondering whether there will be Soviet and West German troops, additional infantry missions, and a wider variety of infantry weapons. We plan to do all of these things and are actively working toward it. As always, these features will arrive when they are ready. Until then, we hope you enjoy what's available so far.

NEW VEHICLE: M151 Utility Truck

Often called the "MUTT", this vehicle was a workhorse for the US Army in the era before the HMMWV arrived. In GHPC, it debuts with two variants: an unarmed version and a version with a mounted TOW ATGM launcher. The TOW variant carries three missiles (one loaded and two on an ammunition rack) and must take advantage of its small size and high speed to survive.

As of this update, there are no missions that include the M151 by default, but the customizer can be used to place them in missions under the "Scout" or "Transport" categories.

QUALITY-OF-LIFE CHANGES

As always, we are constantly evaluating and improving the gameplay experience as we have spare time while working on new features. We have a nice list of adjustments this time around:

Tutorials shortcut

The Grafenwoehr Tank Range section of the Instant Action mode is now accessible directly from the front page of the main menu by clicking the new "Tutorials" button.

AI ammo switching

Non-player vehicles can now switch what ammo they reload based on what kind of target they're engaging, instead of using up each ammo type in order.

APC crew bailout changes

Previously, it was necessary to both immobilize an APC and take out its offensive capability to make the game consider it neutralized. Now, simply taking out the gunner will be enough to make the crew abandon the vehicle, unless it's actively carrying troops inside. This makes APCs much less stubborn targets, especially when they're dug in.

Friendly fire isn't

AI vehicle crews that get their line of sight blocked by concealment have a small window of time in which they'll be willing to try a blind shot, in case they can still hit the target. Unfortunately, sometimes the source of that concealment has been a friendly vehicle driving in front of the muzzle. Now, the AI will react to an obstructing friendly unit by switching targets or holding fire until it's clear again.

Skill issues

There were multiple longstanding AI issues that we corrected this time around. One was the tendency of helicopter pilots to eventually give up on remaining in the air, performing controlled flight into terrain. They now perceive and respond to ground proximity properly. Another issue was a complete inability for KPV gunners (as seen in the BTRs and BRDM-2) to aim directly at a target. They will no longer spray all their ammunition over the enemy.

Performance

While optimization is an ongoing task and tends to come in small bursts for now, this update sees several improvements in this area. One was a persistent stutter or micro-freeze every time the player switched between a gunsight and external view. This no longer causes any delay. Another improvement is a massive reduction in the amount of calculation required to determine what AI units can see each other. Units hiding behind smoke clouds and forests should be much less of a problem for CPU load now, and some players will likely experience smoother frame rates overall.

NAVIGATION CODE OVERHAULS

Many times, we have to make sweeping changes that have very little immediate payoff but are required to help make other features viable in the future. This update includes one such overhaul. As part of our work toward improved AI driving behaviors, we reworked the game's pathfinding system. This is the core code behind units finding their way around the map and threading through obstacles.

In its current state, it's roughly at parity with the previous version - in other words, you will not see any major difference, except that the quirks in this version may be slightly different than before. We continue to work on developing this system, and it will improve in future updates. For now, if you see anything odd with vehicle navigation, just know it's growing pains for better results later on.

With that said, it's time to list the full change log.

GHPC Update 20240806

6 Agu

GHPC Early Access has been updated to version 20240806.

This is a regular update, introducing new features, adjustments, and bug fixes.

We've got plenty more in the works for GHPC! As always, you can get additional info by visiting our Discord server and YouTube channel. Links are on the GHPC website[gunnerheatpc.com].

NEW VEHICLES

KPz T-72

This is the base model T-72 (sometimes called "T-72 Ural") in East German service. Unlike its immediate descendants, it lacks a laser rangefinder and instead uses the same TPD-2-49 coincidence rangefinder sight found on the T-64A. This tank is available in the customizer and the campaign mode.

To avoid confusion, the existing KPz T-72 with laser rangefinder has been renamed to "KPz T-72 LEM", using the German abbreviation for laser rangefinder systems.

KPz T-72 LEM mod

Some T-72 tanks in East German service were modified to bring them up to the T-72M standard, with the familiar equipment set and laser rangefinder sight of that model. However, since they were built with the old T-72 turret layout, they had visible remnants of their old life: a blanked-off coincidence rangefinder aperture on the right side of the turret roof and a double-cut gunner's sight trough with a visible "step" where the wider clearance for the TPD-K1 sight was carved in. This tank is available in the customizer and the campaign mode.

With these new T-72 variants, an updated chart of East German KPz T-72 equipment is needed (you may need to open the image in a new tab to see it at full size):

M60A1

Long before the M60A1/A3 series had advanced fire control systems, the original M60A1 was a rather primitive beast, with an unstabilized gun, active IR night sight, and little extra equipment. Though it would be deep in reserve storage in GHPC's timeline, we have made this variant available in the customizer for players looking for an extra challenge. Our rendition sports the classic MASSTER camouflage pattern.

M60A1 AOS

The introduction of the Add-On Stabilizer system (AOS) to the M60A1 produced a new variant designation. This single change makes the vehicle significantly faster at acquiring and engaging targets. In GHPC, this tank is relegated to deep reserve status, available in the customizer and at extremely low logistics state in the campaign.

M60A1 RISE (Passive) '77

The RISE and RISE (Passive) upgrade packages inched the M60A1 platform ahead in capabilities, with notable changes including a new passive IR night sight (hence the name) and thickened armor on the lower front flanks of the turret casting. The original RISE (Passive) variant lacked some of the equipment that was later added under the same name, so we have designated it with the 1977 service date to distinguish it from the upgraded examples. This specific configuration would have been extinct in 1985, having been converted to a newer standard, but we've added it to the customizer for fun. Our version sports the blocky DUALTEX camouflage pattern, which saw limited adoption by some armored units in this era.

M60A3

This variant introduced a new fire control system designed to modernize the M60 platform, with a laser rangefinder, new optics, and a wind sensor. It standardized the M240 coaxial machine gun, which was also being retrofitted to M60A1 RISE (Passive) tanks around the same time. The imminent rollout of the M1 Abrams would make this tank obsolete almost immediately, and on top of that, very few examples were left in this configuration. The majority of M60A3 tanks were given the Tank Thermal Sight (TTS) and designated M60A3 TTS. Nevertheless, we've included this transitional variant as a rare spawn in the campaign mode, as well as an available option in the customizer.

With so many variants of the M60 series now in play, a chart seems useful:

T-64R

Before the T-64A made its debut, the missing link from the T-62 appeared in the form of the "Object 432" design. This tank, with its never-before-seen "MZ" carousel autoloader and unique two-piece 115mm ammunition, formed the proof of concept for all 125mm autoloaded Soviet tanks to follow. Hundreds were produced, and once upgraded to the equipment set of the T-64A, they were designated "T-64R". These tanks then sat ready in Soviet reserve fleets. We represent that status by placing the tank in the campaign mode as a rare spawn for low logistics and late campaign progress. It is of course available in the customizer as well.

An interesting feature of the T-64R is its early turret armor design inherited from the Object 432: massive "cheek" pockets with cast aluminum filler. This was the design selected after the experimental corundum (aluminum oxide) cylinder arrays proved unsuitable. The corundum concept was revisited and improved later, debuting as the "ultraporcelain ball" armor lattice used in the turrets of virtually all T-64 tanks produced.

In GHPC, the T-64R features a set of ammunition not shared by any other tank in the game: two-piece 115mm cartridges which serve as the clear inspiration for the 125mm ammunition that came afterward. The main anti-armor tool for this tank is the rare 3BM5 APFSDS-T round. In 1985, this is not a high-performing dart by any stretch, but it will do the job against homogeneous armor like that of the M60A1/A3.

T-64A obr.1974

This is an early model T-64A, with basic equipment that was supplanted in later models. In GHPC, it's available in the customizer.

T-64A obr.1979

This tank advances the T-64 timeline with an updated gun, smoke grenade launchers, and revised equipment, while still holding onto the old "gill armor" anti-HEAT panels. It's available in the customizer.

T-64A obr.1981

With the introduction of rubber side skirts, the T-64A finally approached a more modern standard. This variant is available in the customizer and the campaign mode.

The addition of this tank is paired with an additional change: the "T-64A" already in the game is now designated "T-64A obr.1983". It's been updated with a high-hardness steel plate welded onto the upper glacis, for added protection against emerging Western kinetic dart threats.

T-64A obr.1984

A limited number of T-64A tanks were retrofitted with the TPD-K1 laser rangefinder sight system. Much like the KPz T-72 LEM modification, this produced a telltale visual signature, with a blanked-off rangefinder aperture and a double-cut trough in front of the now wider gunner's sight housing. This variant is available in both the customizer and the campaign mode.

Naturally, a variant list this long comes with a chart:

NEW MISSIONS

Our mission designers have been cooking up some new scenarios, and four of them are ready to debut in this update.

Eastern Hills:

Late to the Party
Rolling the Flank
Cheap Tricks

North Fields:

Pronged Pursuit

ENTRENCHED POSITIONS

New to this update, our mission designers now have the ability to place dug-in positions for entrenched defending vehicles. These trenches serve to conceal the hull of the vehicle, minimizing the exposed area and maximizing the average armor rating of the visible surfaces. Our trenches automatically scale to suit the vehicles using them, so if you customize a mission with an especially tall or short tank, you can still be assured that everything will operate as expected.

Missions updated with entrenchments:

Pragmatic Payment Part 3
Bolder Limit
Hillside Havoc Part 2
Crossroads Screen
Marketable Mayhem
Meditative Malediction
Momentous Maniac
Obscene Odyssey
Pushing Tin Part 2

NEW AMMO OPTIONS

Not content to simply add a bunch of older vehicle variants, we've also included some new (old) ammunition options in this update. The 105mm armed tanks can now carry M392A2 or M728 APDS using the customizer. We've also updated the visual model for the M735 APFSDS dart so it doesn't look exactly like the M774.

The APDS rounds will not be effective against the first-line Pact forces of 1985. They were designed in an era when homogeneous cast or rolled steel was the mainstay of tank armor, and their utility against any other kind of defense is marginal. Still, we know many of you like a challenge, and this is a new chance to prove your mettle.

With all of that out of the way, we can finally get to the list of changes for this version!

GHPC Update 20240710

10 Jul

GHPC Early Access has been updated to version 20240710.

This is a regular update, introducing new features, adjustments, and bug fixes.

We've got plenty more in the works for GHPC! As always, you can get additional info by visiting our Discord server and YouTube channel. Links are on the GHPC website[gunnerheatpc.com].

MISSION CUSTOMIZATION

This update features a brand-new feature: any mission that has previously been won can now be customized. All vehicle types used in the mission can be swapped for others, and any vehicles that have multiple ammo options available can also have those swapped. This feature extends across national boundaries, too: you can fully swap the teams or mix and match at will.

There are only a few exceptions for the customization:

Training range missions cannot have vehicles swapped, only ammunition if applicable.
Neutral missions have customization unlocked by default.
The Rally mission cannot be customized.
Some incomplete or incompatible vehicles are not included in the options.

Supporting this feature required a deep overhaul of the way missions are constructed and loaded, but the improved architecture will be highly useful for several upcoming features in the game.

NEW VEHICLES

Two new East German T-72 variants are available in the mission customizer and the campaign system.

KPz T-72 ÜV1

This is a basic laser rangefinder-equipped T-72, but fitted with the newer rubber side skirts rather than the extended "gill armor" panels. It was a transitional step toward the T-72M, which is distinguished by the presence of "Tucha" smoke grenade launchers.

KPz T-72 ÜV2

This is a T-72M, but fitted with a high-hardness steel armor plate on the upper glacis to improve the tank's frontal hull protection. It was a transitional step toward the T-72M1, which is distinguished by the presence of "Kvartz" (sintered quartz ceramic) composite filler in the turret cheeks.

Here is a full comparison of the equipment sets of the T-72 variants in GHPC:

AMMO CHANGES

After thorough research, we have learned that the M833 APFSDS-T round was not in universal or even wide use among the US forces in Germany in 1985. Manufacturing and procurement issues plagued the round well into the next year, and unit commanders balked at the prospect of accepting shipments of it that were too small to guarantee a certain number of days' supply should war break out. Therefore, the M774 APFSDS-T is now the standard "sabot" round for all US tanks in GHPC.

This change will have some effects on the matchup between US and Pact armor in the game. At medium and long ranges, the glacis armor of the T-80B and the upgraded T-72 models will have a great chance of resisting US darts. In head-on encounters, Abrams and M60 gunners will need to slow down and aim at center mass, rather than one-tapping every target.

M833 is still available in small numbers in the campaign mode when NATO forces have fully intact logistics. It is also an option in the mission customization system wherever 105mm-armed US tanks are present.

While we were investigating ammunition, we also revised some parameters to improve the consistency of ammo performance with our expected results, and we added the older M735 APFSDS-T round as a low-logistics fallback for US tanks. Of course, this round is also available in the mission customization system, should you desire to impose a greater challenge on the American crews.

GHPC Early Access has been updated to version 20240507.

This is a regular update, introducing new features, adjustments, and bug fixes.

We've got plenty more in the works for GHPC! As always, you can get additional info by visiting our Discord server and YouTube channel. Links are on the GHPC website[gunnerheatpc.com].

NEW VEHICLES

T-64B

Release of T-64B tank for Soviet forces

Notable characteristics:

125mm smoothbore cannon with access to the newest Soviet ammunition
Modern 1A33 fire control system with laser rangefinder, automatic lead and superelevation, delta-D, cant correction, and more
1G42 gunner's sight with automatic and manual modes for range adjustment

Composite upper hull armor (steel and glass textolite) reinforced with high-hardness surface plate
Composite turret armor (corundum ceramic "ultraporcelain" balls suspended in cast steel)
Access to "Kobra" Gun-Launched ATGM in MZ carousel only

NOTE: "Kobra" GLATGM is also now available in the T-80B!

BTR-70

Much like the previously added BTRs, this is an 8-wheeled APC armed with a 14.5mm KPV heavy machine gun and a 7.62mm PK medium machine gun. It is used by some GSFG units in-theater and will share the main APC role with the BTR-60PB in the Soviet forces.

KOBRA FLIGHT MODES

The 9M112 Kobra is a guided missile, designated as a Gun-Launched Anti-Tank Guided Missile (GLATGM) because it is loaded and fired from a tank gun rather than a traditional missile launch tube. The missile is radio-controlled to attempt to follow and align with the gunner's aim point during flight, making it a Semi-Automatic Command to Line of Sight (SACLOS) missile.

Unlike previous missiles in GHPC, the Kobra GLATGM has multiple flight modes based on the settings of the fire control system at launch time. The primary method of setting the missile's flight mode is by adjusting the range setting of the FCS, whether by using the laser rangefinder or manually adjusting. It is worth noting that the missile will always track the center point (the tip of the chevron reticle) regardless of whether the sight is in automatic or manual mode.

Flight modes:

1920-4000 meters: Elevated mode. The missile will launch at an elevated angle with a brief control lockout. Once the lockout ends and SACLOS guidance begins, the flight path will be 3-5 meters above the gunner's aimed line of sight (LOS) until a short distance remains to the target. The missile will then drop down into LOS until it strikes the target.
1000-1919 meters: Normal mode. The missile will launch at an elevated angle with a brief control lockout. Once the lockout ends and SACLOS guidance begins, the missile immediately descends into LOS for the remaining duration of the flight.
0-999 meters: Direct/emergency mode. The missile will launch without extra elevation and with a shortened lockout. SACLOS guidance commences with no extra height or other deviations. While this mode is intended as a fallback for close range engagements when the missile is already loaded, it can also be forced (by resetting the FCS range to zero) in order to engage tricky targets such as helicopters.

MCLOS FLIGHT MODEL UPDATE

Accompanying the new SACLOS flight modes for the Kobra, the Malyutka ATGM has received an overhaul to its Manual Command to Line of Sight (MCLOS) guidance system. Previously, the MCLOS flight model was a hybrid, more of a disguised SACLOS system. The missile would do unrealistic things like counter-steer itself to keep flying directly away from the gunsight when control was released. This has been corrected - the MCLOS flight model now provides direct control of the missile's steering with no assists, just like in reality.

What this means for players is that it will be necessary to re-train on the BMP-1's Malyutka ATGM. The Showcase mission and the BMP-1 Training mission are good opportunities for this.

Tips for handling MCLOS guidance:

Unlike a SACLOS system, the missile does not know where it is at all times. You will need to provide ALL steering instructions to the missile, and it will not assist you.
Be sure to counter-steer once you've made the missile slide over your target, to stop it from drifting further.
Avoid over-correcting. The safest technique for MCLOS is a series of short input spikes as you watch the missile flare dance around. Give it a "push" in the right direction, let go of the aim (or tap the release button if you've inverted your palm switch setting), and get ready to nudge it again when you see how it's reacted.
If there is turbulence that affects the flight path, you will need to manually correct for it. A quick and measured response is needed, or the missile may strike the ground before you can get it back on track.

With all of that out of the way, here's the full change log.
