T-72 Turret Tossing Simulator || Gunner, Heat, PC! 

Great video! Regarding AAR misses/ghost shot stuff: If you miss, it shows the position of vehicles at the time you fired, which can sometimes make it look like you ghosted the shot through a moving target (in reality it was no longer there when the shot reached that part of its path). If you hit, it updates the positions to be wherever they were at the first contact for that shot. Source: I wrote the code.

Probably one of the most challenging missions in GHPC because of the numbers disadvantage and the importance of using terrain and hull down, but a very satisfying mission to complete. Good stuff :)

I was always missing with the T60A3TTS so I read the Manuel, it’s important to rest the sight over the target for 1,5 seconds so the gun computer can estimate the movement speed of the object and lead accordingly. If you turn the turret, lase a target and fire away the computer will understand the rotation of the turret as movement of the target and misses every time. I love that the systems are so well simulated in the game!

I think the misses that went through the target is that when you fired the shot the target was in a different position. I think the after action report only shows targets where they were at the end of the mission.

This game has a ton of potential. Been playing ever since Wolfpack 345 brought out the first video. Reminds me of 1990's game "M1 Tank Platoon". Used to love playing that. This game is much better and still developing. Thanks again Wolfpack for another great game choice and good video!

"Have fun with this, you goobs" holy freaking crap, coldest line of the first month of 2023

11:15 the BMP used its phase shift ability to phase out of this reality for just enough time to make that a miss

effects are phenomenal

Thanks for the video and the other ones too! I always enjoy and look forward to them.

Good stuff Thanks for doing the hard work to post quality content.

that miss on the bmp is just crazy, it missed everything inside and get through between the rear door/fuel tank haha.

the game is just awesome. i can't wait for the real dynamic campaign

You WolfPack are one of a few Entertainers I get my games from

i love this video, keep up the work

Love these HEAT PC uploads

This game really does just keep getting better and better. I'm excited to see what the future brings for it

Even the crew had damage model and reports Brutal.

I'd be on the phone behind your M60, screaming for the counterbattery strike. Depending on what(and who) survived the 2 enemy arty strikes, we would be setting up TOW and .50HMG. Maybe in time to help with the BMP's. M47 is useless(hopefully the PLT Sargeant traded some Dragon thermal gear for 90mm recoilless). Tradoc said to expect as much ATGM wire on the ground as barbed wire in WW1. Then lead a patrol to check out the BMP's, and put any surviving Motor Riflemen out of everyone's misery. That would have been a weird personal Alt history. Kinda strange to see it all splayed out on computer.

Oooooh yeaaaah Steel Armor Blaze of War vibes damn i was thinking that there wouldnt be Tank SIMs no more

Man you'd think at least the frontal armor of a main battle tank would be able to stop incoming shots, but no, those T-72s might as well have been unarmored. What was the distance?

Love this

good stuff as always : )

Great episode 👏

Love the tank content.

I am honestly shocked those hits did not register, "Gunner, Heat, PC!" is such a well modeled game. Heck, it even registered that you hit that one enemy's heart!

I would switch to the manual optic to see if you're getting parallax on those dud shots through the primary sight

I attended Armor School at Ft Knox Ky in 1991. We trained in a simulator called the "Coft". There was a position for each crew member. This game reminds me of that but of course has much better graphics than 1991. For gunnery we were told to remember to "laze and blaze"...

i love this game... all that i miss are voiceovers in the NVA-Vehicles

I think the turret wasn't able to angle down and the bushes made the rounds do different tragectories? Some of your shots were dead-on and went right through armor. it warped through it. I love the old school woodland camo.

I'm just sitting here in awe because the last tank sim I played was Tank by Spectrum Holobyte back in the early 90s.

M60-my favorite tank

for the misses ill ask on the discord. personally i think as others have said the vehicle position in the case of misses is based on where the vehicle ends the mission

11:30 you missed the BMPs because you aimed directly at them while they were driving towards you.. HEAT has a high arcing trajectory and longer flight time, so while the white non-arcing visual shows through the BMP, your actual shot went over.. you kinda need to aim slightly infront in those situations. Laser ranging and stabilisation tracking at targets coming in towards you while you have long-travel-time-arcing-shot means you need to correct for the time to impact.. lead shooting like those deflection shots in flightsims.

The Soviet Air Force was pretty active, but got "absolutely deschtroyed" by a few M-60s :)

Good times.

Nice video

Bought the game and well…I’m having issues with turret traversing. Any advice? I use my mouse and my directional arrows on my keyboard for movement. What do you use for turret traversing and elevation? It’s very impressive. Obviously the lack of infantry is apparent but I’m sure this is to maximize graphic generation. Great video again. Looking forward to your help

How do I keep missing. Would help if you paid attention to your range!

Definitely looked like a few of those misses actually hit, or at least should've grazed. Hitbox issues maybe.

Should that 105mm (i'm guessing it its RO L5s?) really be going through those T-72s frontal armor at range?

I wonder if the m60 can pen the t72 front the front like that at 2km

Is the T-72 itself available to drive in the game, or is it currently AI only?

M60s with thermals .... hurray! M60A3E3Rise Passives... the thermal sights made the game changing difference

I feel I must say that I refer to GHPC as the M-60 turret tossing simulator.

In War Thunder, every shot would´ve just been: "Hit." :D

I am starting to really want this game. Does it have multiplayer? I would take a Sheridan tank for a spin

the bmp misses might be that you were lasing the edge of the ridge

Turret space program

I tried this game and aiming in it is extremely frustrating, but you re doing so well.

What is the MP date?

so a bit of reality for you on turret pppoing. It doesn't work like that. combat experience in Syria and mroe recently in Ukraine shows that the overhwelming number of these "instant turret tosses" where caused by secondary explosions as long as 10-30 minutes after a hit that caused a fire. and only if the crew were dead or the vehicles abandoned to burn that long in the first place. and most of the time at least some of the crew survived as well. Additionally the turret of Nato Tanks tend to be much heavier then Soviet era designs, like 20 TONS in the case of the Abrooms, so that would also play a huge part in how much force is required for a turret pop.

3 to 4 platoons that's like 16 mbts and the same for ifvs

From what I see, HEAT rounds have an arched trajectory while SABOT have a near flat trajectory. It seems your HEAT have landed behind those BMPs. Maybe the onboard computer made no ajustments to the trajectory, or the BMP just rolled forward at a higher speed then calculated. The white trajectory line does not account for the trajectory of the shell.

From the AAR it appears that only 5 of the 11 misses were poorly aimed and shot. Possibly skipped rounds or drive bys on the other 6.

So those bulges on the back of the BMP are fuel tanks? I've heard of that, but when I google it, I get some conflicting information. Apparently, US military intelligence in real life thought they were filled with sand (???). Do those tanks feed into the "main" fuel tanks used by the engine? What a weird and interesting design decision.

Penetrating the glacis of a T-72 with a frontal shot at such an acute angle, even with APFSDS, at >2km seems overgenerous in this game. I am not seeing any deflections or sabot-shatters so don't think they are modelled in which is a shame. It would be nice to see more cinematic elements in the game like ricochets, the ones in the movie Fury were awesome and it would be great immersion if they were in this

ayyyyy

I'm pretty sure that the misses that "hit" are actually the trajectory for HEAT is different from Sabot. But the shot line for both is identical. The HEAT rounds are lobbed in a more parabolic arc whereas the sabot's are a straight shot.

Those dubious misses are definitely bugs. You should made reports to the Dev using this vid Wolf.

Isn't it a bug?

That was cool to watch. Hope they make this game co-op/multi-player

You fired a lot of shots very quickly so maybe the gun accuracy deteriorated due to thermal flexing

@11:22 the HEAT was not activated due to the BMP sloped upper front plate. Nothing extra.

It’s so cathartic to see T72s popping their turrets like that.

I played the little campaign mode in game,and when playing I feel really bad for the Russian crews,like the American armor has so much more fire power,like playing as the Russians I've had two Bradley's destroy eight T-72s from so far away we couldn't see them didn't even know we were under attack till it was to late

Hoping Sprocket will get to similar levels of interior fidelity someday. I do enjoy real tanks, but tbh I much prefer building my own.

That is not a bug, the AAR shows the position of the vehicles at the moment you fired. if the are on the move it may seem like the shot went through them in AAR.

Where's this supposed to be happening? You'd think Germany, but this looks more like Italy. Patches of dry ground, paintbrush style trees.

You overpenetrated the BMP and the warhead did not detonate on the round you shot

Lol I'm the one that coined that phrase'.....TODAYS WINNER OF THE TOURETT TOSS IS....GENERAL YACKOV lol it's in my auttospell....anyways been wierd watching it take off...enjoy SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 HEROYAM SLAVA 🇺🇦 Now 'tourett toss' is everywhere

72's you should have took more losses..?

Lol

"Just a couple of BMPs now" .... is morale not a factor here? Would just a couple of BMPs commanded by some draftee NCOs continue to advance after seeing a whole bunch of their T-72s be wiped out with no casualties inflicted on NATO forces?

F

If you want to have the ultimate T-72 turret tossing experience, go fight in Ukraine!

The age 10 years old understanding of Geopolitics. The T-72 snorkels under rivers and small lakes & BMP swims across and bypasses the M-60’s who never see them… if they want to. Even if 10ft tall 105 mm M-60 do see very low profile 7ft tall 125 mm T-72 with auto loader and ammunition in carousel under the turret the side effect of ammunition explosion blowing the turret off the tank means absolutely nothing. After any tank has been hit penetrated and then ammunition explosion it doesn’t matter where on earth the tanks turret is the souls of the tanks crew are no longer. The best defense is not to get hit at all. Adult geopolitics. T-72 will fight defense battles because there is nothing in Europe worth the tank gas to drive there for then and today the prize is in Russia the same prize that was there in the 19th century, the 20th century and 21st century… the worlds most and best fertile land/agriculture, natural resources, and oil. Empires attack out of Europe and into the world and into Russia not into Europe. -1812 French Empire Napoleon Continental System invasion of Russia for control of Russia natural resources -1914 Imperial Germany Kaiser Wilhelm Septemberprogramme attack on Russia for control of Ukraine land/agricultural, Russia natural resources -1941 NAZI Empire Adolf Hitler Lebensraum invasion of Russia for control of Ukraine land/agriculture, Russia natural resources, oil of Baku. -2022 American Empire Wolfowitz & Energy Independence Doctrine, proxy war attack on Russia for control of Ukraine, Russia natural resources, control of Nord Stream pipelines, Arctic off shore oil and North Black Sea national gas.

This game can be pretty cringe for a simulator. Every T72 manufactured from 1979 onwards had laser range finders . Accurate to 1m out to 5km. Which means this should really have just be a series of trades ending with whoever had more tanks or fired first winning. Seeing as there were more Russians and they fired first. They would have won this engagement. The M60A3 only entered Europe in 1979. The T72’s just conveniently forget to use their most expensive part of the tank.

How about using your thermal during an engagement! Jesus, your tiring…
