"GHPC aims to put modern tanks, realism, and fun together, in a time when tank fans are sorely lacking that combination. "

Have you tried out the demo?

I like what I see. Please keep us posted as this develops.

Yeah, it's very bare bones but what little there is is quite fun in the just jump in and play couple of quick rounds kinda way. There's few different vehicles to try (M1A1 HA/A2, T-72, T-90, T-55, BMD-3, Sprut-SD) and all of them play in a distinct way.

I like their belief that games can be realistic and fun at the same time. But I'm not really into the modern warfare with all its night vision and laser guided ammunition. I find it turns war into a battle of gadgets, where individual courage is dwarfed by the might of machines.

Implying that already didn't happen in WW1.

Well at least they didn't have night vision, drones, and precision strikes in WW1.

Agreed. I say we go back to swords and spears. ;-)

Just no bows and arrows.. that's cheating!

Then we could be . . . Battle Brothers!

Don't get me started on the technical marvels that were slings and javelins.....

I'm not sure that's historically accurate. . . . . :fisher:

You don't say?

As an ex tanker, I just have to ask...why not "Gunner, Sabot, Tank!" I mean, that is much sexier.

I'm confused by the title, too. Is it supposed to be the command given when an enemy PC comes into view?

You mean Spartans didn't go into battle bare chested and wearing leather thongs!

... in that clip it was Athenians wielding battle axes ... while wearing the obligatory leather speedos. (...or budgie smugglers as our Aussie friends call them, I believe)

Why don't they make a new version of 300 but with female warriors instead? It would be good for diversity.
