This is a really fun game. I was never into simulators, never got into vehicle based combat outside of Battlefield, but there's something about this game that makes it really interesting and fun.

The best way I can think of describing it is that it's similar to how Insurgency reached a middleground between arcade and realism. Where Insurgency finds itself somewhere between Call of Duty and ARMA (or maybe Squad?), Gunner HEAT PC is somewhere between Battlefield and Steel Beasts. If you like one of those games, even if you gravitate more towards one than the other... odds are you will like this one.

I eventually got Steel Beasts, which has some overlap with GHPC but it doesn't feel as polished or as accessible. While I like playing both, GHPC is where I wanna go if I want some action without needing to mess with downloading custom scenarios or reading maps too much. The voice acting in GHPC is also better by leaps and bounds, which adds to the immersion and tension when rounds start flying.

GHPC doesn't have Workshop support, but there are some mods for the game that can increase replay value too. I think it's fine as-is so I haven't messed with it, but I've seen people using M1A2's (opposed to the A1 in the game), different camo patterns, that sort of thing. They're all on the game's Discord.

Overall one of my better purchases on Steam by far.

No no and no. I am looking for the lase thing under the keyboard list and I can't find it then while playing the game an in game thing pops up and says do this. Can't say I ever got it to work. Also it took me many wasted shots before it told me how to look through the gunner sight. I couldn't see anthing in the commands list for that either. I won't request a refund but I think the developers should include that in the list of crap. Also couldn't get my joystick to work. but it did calibrate.
