Don't forget to check out the Steam demo for updated graphics, at least until the next Patreon demo update! Also, you can let your commander aim the turret at his current target by pressing spacebar after a callout.
Those "BTRs" are BRDMs btw. Couple of tips: you shouldn't stop moving when being fired upon, the M1s gun is stabilized you can shoot on the move and keep your front towards the enemy.
@@Wolfpack345 Some other tips too! the hull storage and turret storage are both blow out panel protected, you should restock ammo often! also if you track a moving target with the Gunners Primary Sight and laze him at the same time the gun will automatically calculate lead
Wow!!!!! I was an M1A1 Tank commander in the 90s during the gulf war. I can't tell you how realistic this game is, all the way to the fire commands reticle, lead drag, etc!!! Truly amazing!!
Haven’t seen anyone say it yet, but space bar is the “commander override”. If you hold it when the commander calls a target he will lay the gun on the target for you.
It really annoys me how your channel hasn't exploded yet. You are so much more entertaining than others, high quality videos on great games. Keep up the awesome work WolfPack345!
@@lowpinglag The good old days when DRM was identifying a silhouette and the page number it appeared on in the manual. I remember something in the manual saying that shooting down the Su-25 with the commanders MG was "nearly" impossible and the joy I felt accomplishing it.
You are using infrared too little. I was listening to a Polish officer who knows Russian tanks very well, and the German Leopards, and is now converting to the Abrams. His tips: infrared target selection (better visible), target fixation, data is remembered and when the cannon fires, he searches for new targets and marks them. The Leopart has 9 degrees of gun depression and the Soviet T-72 only 5 degrees. The commander, after finding the target, marks the target and can shoot alone, or he leaves the target marked the gunner and he shoots while the commander searches for new targets. Leopard can fight two targets simultaneously. Probably the same number targets at once Abrams too, the rest is done by the gunner. Tanks are the priority target, then destroy armored vehicles. In case of problems, you can smoke the area around the vehicle and safely retreat.
so a couple things. as actionscripter and a few other pointed out pressing space bar will slew the turret to where your commander is roughly looking. as you have done aiming for center mass of the vehicle is best as this is not warthunder the penetrartion system is much more advanced so the chance of being able to single out a specific piece of internal equipment is limited at best and at worst a great way to get yourself killed through hesitation. thirdly you should switch ammo when targetting lightly armoured or non armoured targets, the tanks HEAT (or just HE i forget which it is) is very good at killing these targets and the gaem now simulate balst and shrapnel versus infantry so using it against the dug in missile teams is very cool. finally if you have access to the actual patreon build then id quite like to see you play around with the bradley IFV and if you are just on the steam demo then the t72 would make a change from the high tech m1
I wonder if you can use the commander's .50 cal; you could take out most Soviet APCs that way. On another note, you should check out the after action report. It shows the trajectory of all the shots fired (including MG rounds), their fragments, and damage taken/dealt. I saw some pretty amazing things looking at it, like an APFSDS round and its fragments passing within a hair's width of a gunner :D
You can later on. To fire the commander's gun the commander has to climb out of the hatch and can be shot at. They want to first implement the crew animation before they add that option.
I have been following this game for about a year at this point, and I absolutely love it. It would be pretty intresting to have multi-player matches as well as German vehicles like Marders and Leopards
Just Subscribed to your channel Wolfpack, just what I was looking for. Enjoy your commentary, and alot of people on here giving sound advice. As a former M1A2 sepV2 Tank Commander, I agree wholeheartedly that GHPC has alot of promise. Bought it on Early Access yesterday based on your video. Been waiting for a Micropose M1 Tank Platoon II successor for FAR to long. Let's hope this small team comes through for all of us. Cheers!
On the M1 series the ammo in the hull is not the ready rack. The ready rack is the left (loader's) side of the turret... when things get quiet they'll cross-load from the turret's right side storage and hull into the left
Very nice , I know it's only on PC now. But the developer should look into adding it to the newest consoles series X and PS5 . There have been a few PC only games that added console versions. And sold really well.
Hey wolfpack, I've been on GHPC for a long time now, when they get multiplayer set up I would love to help out. I was an armored cavalryman for 20 years in the army focused on Bradley, hit me up sometime
Noticed there was no multiple return bar even when you lased and got flashing zeros. Also, Soviets don't have TOWs; proper response is SAGGER, SAGGER, SAGGER!, pop smoke, and back up and jinx till you hit cover or an IV line. Looks promising but won't be a true simulator until you can kick your gunner for doing something stupid or whack your driver through basket with your "Driver be good stick" when he falls asleep.
Well technically they did have a TOW missle, but ya you're 100 percent correct, if you take a hit and you don't know from where, smoke and back the hell up? Abrams has one hell of a reverse speed!
The ol' 105mm rifled gun, eh? Not sure how that one performs, but the 120mm smoothbore is an absolute sniper, even at speed. The Abrams is a fantastic tank. A brand new generation (A4 or maybe A5 at this point, idk) with spaced reactive armor over the Chobham armor and fragmentation based anti-APFSDS units would make it extremely relevant.
Oh yes. Can't wait for this game to release. No other realistic tank games out there. For content t-55 against abrams would be a great challenge to see.
There is a scenario in the game just for that. 3x T-55s move in on the flank of 4x distracted M1s. It still very much favors the Americans. Even from the side it's very difficult to make sure an Abrams is dead.
Whenever I’m using the M2 Bradley in GHPC, I find myself pumping dozens of rounds of 25mm into BMPs due to the fact that they often just don’t cook off from the 25mm and, as you said, it’s hard to tell when somethings truly out of action.
I've been contributing ever since I heard about it mainly because war thunder was such a mess. They do seem to have the proper vision but they are a small group and development has been pretty slow with lots of reasons being given. The biggest thing that worries me now is that they keep trying to increase the "wooh" factor by saying they are adding more vehicles. What they should focus on is gameplay and AI. We will see if the next patch really starts to pull the gameplay together a bit more.
I hope the sounds will be improved. From what I have read, the Abrams is quite noisy being powered by a turbine. At the moment it sounds like a well-oiled swiss watch. Interesting though.
You might want to dump lead (control + E by default) so that auto lead on Abrams and m60TTS don't interfere with shooting stationary targets after you laze a stationary target.
i wish there coming a ww2 dlc or something, because í loved Panzer elite special edition! and in the red right cornber when u destroyed the enemy tank was "hit commanders brain"
I feel the tank really needs to kick more dust + get dirty/lose additional stuff outside the armour when getting hit + tank needs to get more dirty. I know the game is still in its early stages, but the graphics really feel like they are 10+ years old
Ok, we all know that M1 is powered by 1500 b.h.p. gas turbine, but still the real tank does have an acceleration of an Indycar, F1 car or MotoGP bike😊 I have yet to see a video game/simulation do it justice in that regard ⚖️ Yes, Soviet/Russian tanks can ditch a turret as a consequence of an ammo cook off, but does not launch it to Mars🔴
I've seen real footage of Russian tank turrets going off just like this just recently, also thought it was just a "Hollywood" effect in other games I played before. It's actually like that IRL.
@@JustPeasant th-cam.com/video/QiybJ8UuHXA/w-d-xo.html There's been some more, less dramatic, but this is probably the most prominent one. Had to find it again myself since I saw it as part of a video I watched within the last months so I didn't exactly know what to look for, except for "ukraine tank turret".
@@CakePrincessCelestia Wh0ry shēēēt!🤯🤯🤯 What was that tank carrying as an ammo? A mini nuke for Fat Man™️ (Fallout 3 & New Vegas)?!🎮 If that tank had any crew, they didn't suffered much... I hope🙏🙏🙏
Hey man, cool video! Will you be doing a video in steelbeasts and Falcon BMS? The former is a more realistic GHPC, the latter is DCS but with a dynamic campaign and extremely good F16 full fidelity simulation
0:01 Nice. some German quote-unquote Democratic Republicans :D 0:05 TARGET BMP, 12 O'CLOCK, TWO HUNDRED! 2:03 That's clearly not a BTR... 2:34 Definately a BRDM-2 :) - BTRs have 8 wheels and the turret looks smaller on the chassis 5:14 I loved that already in Operation Flashpoint, but always thought it was unrealistic, until I saw the real footage from the current conflict in Eastern Europe... the saying is the Russian Armed Forces have more assets in the air than the Air Force :D 8:01 Another one of those BRDMs
The Russians love to store their ammo in a ring around the turret base, so one hit into the center of mass on anything Russian (T-72, T-80, and T-90 included) will cook off all of that ammo and blow the turret straight up, and literally kills the entire crew instantly. As I recall, the four M1A1’s we lost in 1991 were due to friendly fire by AH-64 Hellfire missiles, though a couple of lucky T-72s did cause damage. The Abrams keeps the ammo stored in a way that would blow the back of the turret off, but not endanger the crew, and being hit head-on against the turret would deflect the round as it’s a type of classified ceramic armor. The British use a similar tank, and in one instance in Iraq in 2003 one was attacked and took over a dozen point-blank RPG hits, and though the sights were knocked out, the tank and crew were safe. It’s fast and can track things like no other tank, so in Blitzkreg warfare it’s matched by none. Saddam’s Republican Guard found out the hard way.
The M1 has blowout panels on top of the turret bustle where the ammo is stored, however this game does in fact simulate the use of the armoured door between the turret and the ammo compartment and if you happen to hit an M1 at a certain window of time during the loading cycle where that door would be open then you see the M1s experience same kind of catastrophic ammunition fires as the Russian tanks with carousels as the fire enters the fighting compartment, otherwise outside of that window the blowout panels operate and the vehicle can continue to operate even with the ammo in the turret bustle cooking off.
Hi Wolfpack! Been watching your videos for a long time now. I really like the way you cover these games. It makes me think that a good approach to sim games is to go with your imagination well opened, and sort of 'make up' stories as you go. Like those patrols in U-boat, that without this imagination component would only be a matter of going from A to B and just do the stuff you're ordered, not much context behind. I wanted to ask you, what is a good sim game you would reccomend for someone to get into the whole genre? May it be Air, sea, or land. I really like the games you cover, but stuff like DCS seems so complex and intimidating. Do you have any reccomendations? Have a nice day!
I would recommend checking U-Boat but with arcade options it's very new player friendly and such. For air and tank you can chech out war thunder but do not expect so much fun. It's frustrating at times. Have a good day mate.
Thanks for the recommendations, I have indeed tried War Thunder and I found it bland and too arcadey, but I haven't tried U-boat yet and seeing the gameplays by Wolfpack and seeing all the stuff you have to do ingame, I always felt so intrigued by it. Will try! Thanks and have a nice weekend!!
Leopards aren't currently in the game, it currently only has the M60A3, M1IP, T-55A, and T-72M1 as MBTs, I believe the current setting is 1985. They also have some Jeeps, Trucks, BRDM, M113, etc.
Leopard 1A1's are being worked on currently, but nothing more modern than those are currently planned, the game is sticking to what was in the Fulda gap in 1985 right now, though the devs have stated they do plan on expanding the theaters in the game after launch.
Don't forget to check out the Steam demo for updated graphics, at least until the next Patreon demo update! Also, you can let your commander aim the turret at his current target by pressing spacebar after a callout.
Hello aaction pleasent to see you here ;) . was coming here to say about the space bar trick
I love the crew call outs. Brings me back. Definitely adds to the immersion. Especially after you got hit. Great voice acting.
It's really solid!
and there are still things to come for the crew voices
Soviet and East/west german voices will come to and i cant wait for that
1:49 That voice acting is incredible:
Commander: Fire!
Gunner: Target identified
Commander (angrier): FIRE!
Gunner: Obstructed
Good to see wolf single-handedly keeping the Soviet space program alive and well 😬
Hahah
Keeping them boys flying!
Don't worry Ukrainian ATGM crews are keeping the Russians flying
Not getting ID before firing... yep, definitely M1 crew. ;)
you must be a scout. ;)

I know this is nitpicking, but the first vehicle you engaged was a BRDM, not a BTR. The tank was also a M1IP, not M1A1

The graphics looks like ARMA 2.
I'm getting a new graphics card:) might pick it up
Good video usual, and I think that a new modern tank sim could be super cool. However, this one just didn't really do it for me personally.
Hopefully they're working on 2D internal views at least.
Me, wanting 3D interiors in VR: ...
Don't drink and drive!
Game has potential, still got a ways to go thou lol
would love to see the leopard 2a5 or 6 or even 7 if they're in the game.
Leopards aren't currently in the game, it currently only has the M60A3, M1IP, T-55A, and T-72M1 as MBTs, I believe the current setting is 1985. They also have some Jeeps, Trucks, BRDM, M113, etc.
Leopard 1A1's are being worked on currently, but nothing more modern than those are currently planned, the game is sticking to what was in the Fulda gap in 1985 right now, though the devs have stated they do plan on expanding the theaters in the game after launch.
The developers are only focusing on Cold War era vehicles, so definitely no 2a7s.
@@157RANDOM What i pity, I would play it for Leopard (1) alone. But I can wait.
@@fhlostonparaphrase There are Leo 1s in production, just not in game yet.
so you mean it's just the last 1/7 of War Thunder's main 4 nations (US, USSR, Germany, and UK)...And yet it's better in almost every way!
can you tell me what misson that is?
