What Tank Combat Sounds Like

I still cannot get over the loader's muffled "UP". Such a simple detail that brings so much immersion.

People: why can't you be normal? Video game tank crews: *screams*

War thunder: 'our driver has been knocked out." Gunner heat Pc: "OH SHIT, THEY GOT DAVID!"

I've been a gunner in a Bradley for about 10 years now... this is the most technically accurate game I think I've ever heard. Even down to you getting a bad laze, and then your BC/TC telling you to relaze. I don't mean this is kinda how it goes, or they almost got it right. You wanna know the experience of being in a turret? This is probably the closest you can get in a video game so far.

Game: GunnerheatPC RU-vid: Oh, this is War thunder. When the video is actually War Thunder. RU-vid: Oh, World of Tanks.

Listen to their voices literally made me feel panicked. So simple but so immersive.

Small correction: the TC saying “doubtful” is a type of sensing. Look up the acronym DLOST. He’s telling the gunner where his round landed relative to the target. If the round impact isn’t observable, “doubtful” is used. “Target” would be an observed hit, and then a subsequent command of “reengage” or “ceasefire” would determine what the gunner does next. Great video, love this game so much.

As a former soldier in the British Army who served in the KRH (Kings Royal Hussars) as a tankey, theses voice lines in GHPC are authentic enough to give me chills from my time during training excises. Fantastic job they have done with the American crews, hopefully they model the voices for British tank crews. Great Vid Spook keep it up! Edit the extra thing they could add for authenticity is ANR (Active noise reduction) For the gunner site, which is played through the crew headsets to reduce hearing damage while operating a CR2. Would be a fantastic touch on top of an already awesome game.

Playing war thunder, you kinda just point at enemies and feel happy when you get a kill, and annoyed when you get killed. A game like this really makes you realize how terrifying it is to be in real tank combat, when you miss a shot and can die any second while staring at the enemy's tank barrel pointing straight towards you. Incredible work

The voices are just as illegible as they should be. My absolute favourite during the maneouvers is, when someone gets excited/stressed enough to drop radio discipline and starts screaming casually, in long sentences, into the mike. Thing is, you don't scream, you talk laconic, and you use radio voice, punctuating words separately. I'm on Sordin Supreme CC and even they don't manage well with excited screaming.

Hearing an actual "A.D.D.R.A.C." in a game is pretty cool. Really detailed in the sound department, hope the game does well. The acronym stands for Alert, Direction, Description, Range, Assignment, Control.

We're playing a dedicated tank crew in Post Scriptum and i'm guessing that's as realistic as it gets since it's us who are panicked screaming when a tank is spotted and is looking at us. Especially if we are in a long range duel, commander screams "Hit again, AGAIN!", or things like; "NO NO HIT THE TURRET YOU ARE BOUNCING" especially if you come across a Tiger in an Armored car.. i am the driver and i feel my hands shaking in some situations. Trying to avoid the fire, listening to commanders screams "DRIVE DRIVE HE'S LOOKING AT US" and when you get a kill shot we're like "HELL YEAAAH"

I remember seeing a comment of an ex US Abrams loader in a video that showcased this and he said something like: "You better not fucking shoot before I say "up", cuz I dont feel like loosing a hand." 🤣🤣

The voice acting in GHPC and its implementation are great Kinda reminds me of the lines from squads in Company of Heroes, which has lots of lines that change depending on the situation so if you select a MG42 while it's idle, you'll hear something like "Machine gun squad" or "MG42 is ready" but then as it keeps fighting the lines get more stressed, until all you hear when you select it is "Fourtytwo!"

Yeah it bugs me too. Most tank games seem to forget that the inside of a tank, whether in combat or not, is _really fucking loud._ It's a nice touch that it's not just the "short and sweet" that you'd actually hear but that they are yelling to make themselves heard even with the aid of the intercom.

"The sounds are always weak" Hence why we have sounds mods.

The driver saying “he’s looking at us” spooked me quite abit, I’ve heard the other lines before but that one takes the cake

I'm pretty sure the reason in War Thunder whenever a member is hit the announcer refers to them as "knocked out" "unconscious" or "dazed" is because they're trying to keep it below a certain rating. Technically no one dies in War Thunder. Even when you kill an enemy pilot it only refers to them as "unconscious". So if people actually died it would be a bit higher rating and it they might lose some of their market.

that detail of the voicelines getting more hectic when the enemy is looking at you is so good

The crews voices and their ability to change tone depending on the situation, really makes it feel like they’re alive and there with you. It really changes the standard gaming mentality of “I want to stay alive” to “I have to keep us alive”

Being an M1A1 Crewman, this was an amazing effort by the dev team to make it authentic as possible, crew commands are on point.

The commands sound good, I served on a m1a2 Abrams for a few years. Some things I seen from the vid the made me question one command "gunner heat tank" that would pretty much never happen unless you're out of sabot. Or I'd see he had to lead with the cross hair which also never happened since the LRF would laze it then keep it's distance and so instead of leading a target moving at something going 20mph you just keep aiming center mass and the ballistic computer would do the rest and if you're bore sighted with your gun correctly you should hit exactly dead on. Other than that great video

A moment of silence for the loader's hands at 1:02 as Spookston the cruel fires before he says up.

"UUP". Great day to see another spookston upload.

2 years since I'm getting teased about GH:PC, I saw him grew that's crazy

my favorite line is when you hit an enemy but don't kill it and one of your crew mates goes "AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN", that shit always gives me goosebumps

It's worth noting that in reality, if two opposing tanks meet in the battlefield, both are in tremendous amount of stress while firing with one another and GHPC capture this panicked situation inside the tank.

I swear these voicelines were so intense and immersive I actually felt scared, stressed and panicked. Awesome job.

I love the crew lines in ghpc! It’s so much better than “the radio operator gunner is unconscious “

its not hard for me to ignore a games sound design for parts that dont matter, but games that excel at using it to show the intensity of a situation of the stress of a person are few but beloved. my notable mentions for that are insurgency sandstorm and escape from tarkov, even though i dont play the latter anymore. one of the death sounds the scavs used to make really stuck in a bad way...

I'm here talking from the Blitz side of WoT. We got a new British commander voice, god, is so good. The Brit commander saying everything quick and to the point, compared to the older American commander, he's... Dramatic to say the least. "That must've hit hard!" = Barely damaged the tracks. While the British commander says: "Hit!" "Target destroyed!" Etc. It's clearly nowhere near as fast or adaptive as Gunner Heat PC, but it sound so much better.

When the TC shouts "Again Again Again Again!!" really frantically, they did a great job on the voices.

Would love it if this is what war thunder comms sounded like

Gunner HEAT PC: Realistic crew voices Me at WT: GuP crew voice mod

If WarThunder were to update their crew sound it would literally be "LOADER RELOAD! FAST! FAST! FAST!" Yea....Doesn't feel good when your loader gets killed after being replaced by another guy huh.

Red Orchestra 2 was a fun “tank simulator” Hope there will be another tank sim like this one but in WWII

Been a Patreon since before AI was introduced and i must say, the progress that ActionScripter and the team that came into the project made since then is simply incredible.

When I heard these voice lines for the first time: *Stress: INFINITY*

Reject War Thunder, Embrace Gunner HEAT PC

_driver gets liquified by an apfsds round_ "the driver's been wounded"

You can really hear the fear in the "He's looking at us!"

I think the reason War Thunder and the like's voices aren't this realistic is that it creates confronting gameplay. Being screamed at by your crew would turn a lot of people off, so they're toned down, more relaxed. As much as I do think it's really cool GHPC is going that extra step, I can fully understand why more unrealistic games like War Thunder (yes, even in RB or sim it's not that realistic) haven't opted to go down this route. GHPC is shaping up to succeed in its goal, which is great. I'm quite keen to see how it progresses, and see how they'll implement multiplayer.

Another good example is the interior tank scenes for Captain Bannon in World in Conflict. They follow a similar formula to GHPC with the crew communicating to eachother, the gunner announcing his engagement with "on the way" the the muffled thud of the cannon being fired

"He's looking at us!" bit sounds like it wouldn't be out of place in a survival-horror game. Time to steal WoT's Mirny theme and fucking run with it?

Sound design is incredibly important, and i really liked the detail when i saw the first videos of it in GHPC

Gunner Heat PC is a hidden gem that needs more attention for sure.

it reminds me of when me and my friends play tank games (ones with multi person tanks aka 3 people to a tank) and when i just spot a enemy RPG tank etc ill be like "ENEMY RPG 110 HURRY UP ITS AIMING RIGHT AT US" or other times where i just see a tank looking at me and im like all studdering because of how panicy it is.

ohohoho, another video with the most terrifying and immersive voice lines, glad to see it

War Thunder could replace the voice lines, ya know. I say have actual tankers record 10-15 lines for each action, and make sure its loud and to the point. That may, your loader won't say the same line the same way all day long. And for tanks that never had built in crew coms, make them scream it, along with some echo. And make it so every crew member has a different voice actor. Maybe add period correct VAs for different era of tanks.

Just imagine if war thunder added those crew voices in all the vehicles from all the nations... Excellent job GHPC

2:42 Damage assessment 105mm SABOT vs man with Kornet: Penetrated missile launcher Hit Gunner's head Penetrated Gunner's skull Gee thanks, wasn't sure if the dart fully penetrated or if Ivan's vodka hardened skull would manage to keep him in the fight xD

All of the attention to detail that makes the soundscape feel more visceral and immersive *really* pays off from what I've heard so far, it's awesome and reminds me of the sound design for Armored Warfare which was pretty solid in my opinion. I agree that good sound design in games is still often neglected by developers and underrated by consumers, it baffles me. This video has me wishing the sound design team for Elite: Dangerous would work on War Thunder so we can FINALLY get a good audible experience out of it.

Got a feeling that you would made a vid about this game again yesterday!

I love their commands. The voice actors did a great job.

WT Crew: Telepathic collective mind that doesn't need any commands Regular Crew: S C R E A M I N G

Be really cool if they made a plane game as well, they’d do good on it

The voices depending on the context remind me a loooot Insurgency Sandstorm, a multi-player tactical FPS, that is awesome by its gameplay, but also by his song effects. As GHPC, your character (your soldier) have a lot of lines depending on what is happening on the battlefield, in front of him, and that is so immersive, at a point that it gave me chills sometimes, it looks like something about a game... (I will alaways remember the first time an Allie get killed in front of me by a sniper, and my character just screamed "SNIPEEEER" with an anxious voice, it was really immersive)

Another thing I like is that they model the crew's skulls, "penetrated driver's skull" at the end of video

"HE'S LOOKING AT US!!!" Fuck man, I didn't need that today-

"HES LOOKING RIGHT AT US" "AH!" *yeets shell*

This was - and still is - the only thing I've subbed to on Patreon. The passion for tank warfare the devs have shown is obvious and I am more than happy to support them adding more content to the game.

Played the demo and really like it Ill probably buy it when it comes on steam Are you gonna do a video about il2's tanks?

I coded a game much like this but didn't release it, and I really love the attention to detail here. I only had world of tanks crew voices to work with for hit effects but it got pretty contextual and it was a lot of work but eventually I had crew members in 7 languages yelling at me about reloads, hits, bounces, crew losses and vehicles states; but never with the modulating intensity with how close an enemy is to shooting you; that was an amazing touch and the driver comments go above and beyond. I'm happy to see something akin to my old passion project done even better, albiet with a few less swarms of alien monsters and rts elements. oh, what I would give to see the concept of cold war era mechanized warfare directed against an apocalyptic invasion of car sized, city devouring alien flesh monsters ;_; it's oddly specific but every time I see a game like this I imagine how fun it would play to gun down hordes of horrific creatures with a well coordinated mechanized platoon, in a hybrid of tank sim and real time strategy. with that sound design? it would be a horrifying and exhilarating spectacle.

0:30 yeah the swedish crew sound super weird like " the enemy is firing artillery" but said like if he is asking

Damn, this is AWESOME

The crew voices gives me the shivers. As a 19k myself hearing this makes me think I'm in combat or in a gunnery

Truly an amazing game. I'm subed to their patreon just cuz I want to see what the game will look like when done

Damn those responses in the video really brought back the smell of a shell being fired, and i didn't even get my orders in English

If the TC says “Fire and adjust” it’s telling the gunner to scan and shoot

Bruh they sound terrified

Been seeing all sorts of clips from this game on some videos but only now do I get a name. Thank you for bringing more attention to it, sounds like its going to blow up :)

Ghpc is brutal. Just like real life

When sound design for voices is so damn good and dynamic it stresses you the hell out. This is really cool. Reminds me when I was playing Arma with friends and crewed tanks. Hectic af and stressfull. And now this is just you, and the game does the rest and even better. Really cool!

"There's no real sense of urgency in their voices." Have you heard that one version of the repairing radio transmission where the guy has what sounds like a voice crack?

I've been looking forward to this

GH:PC crew voice: *Panic Scream

I want a VR tank combat game where every position is filled by a individual. Imagine how badass that would be, like 2 tanks vs 2 tanks but every crew slot is filled with a individual person. Even if it was very arcadey and simplified it would be so much fun.

Your private GHPC voice sound mod for WT is awesome, please ask the developer if you could release it publicly. It could make more WT players fund GHPC.

Wow, I sat through a 4 minute ad and actually respected the creator for it

meanwhile serbs in Smoluca (actual transcript from a semi famous video): ARE YOU RECORDING? YES! ALRIGHT, OK BLOW THEM UP! *t54 fires at bosnian position* I THINK WE GOT THEM YEAH!

I can affirm that this is 100% on point, I am a gunner for my crew on the M1A2 SEPv2 tank nicknamed "ANABOLIC" All commands are usually said in this type of manner, with the use of the CITV the TC can designate a target for the gunner if they spot before. Command said something along the lines of, "Designate, (Target- PC, Tank, Troops)" then following "(Target- PC, Tank, Troops) identified, range (range)" and the game quite literally matches that.

HE'S LOOKING AT US!!

bro i was chilling scrolling through comments then boom ODST music, man that shit hits deep like an apfsds round

it war thunder you dont need ppl screaming in your tank, because you are already screaming out of rage.

the GHPC team is still looking for voice actors, they plan to add more German Vehicles and look for people who can voice the crew for them.

hopefully gaijin doesn't change the new sounds they go hard

BDU-era Bradley gunner here; everything from the manual range adjustments to the red/black thermals to the sound design brings me right back. All it's missing is the hand cramps, the Bradley bites, and the smell of fart-soaked rubberized canvas and diesel smoke.

That gun sound was great.The only time i remember hearing something that came even close to that in War Thunder was when i used the T34.

"Ah shit.. He's hit!" " *The gunner's been dazed!* "

Armored Warfare bugged me so much with its voices. The misuse of “identify” being the standout.

The combined panic of the crew and the muffled sounds of the exterior with the clanks of the interior, really sells the reality you're in a cramped shell with other people who all have to work together in unison to face off other tanks that can blow you to bits.

"Gunner sabot TAAAAAAAANNNKKK!!"

Having served on a M109A6 the sound of a tracked vehicle is louder than you can imagine, The engine has a whine like a banshee and the tracks have a subtle thud thud thud mechanical sound. Then there are the sounds of the FCS and the beeps of the ANCD, The hydraulics too of the turret. The sound of the cannon firing inside is rather muted while outside its one of the loudest things you can imagine besides a rocket firing. MLRS is so loud it can give you a concussion allegedly.

Have a feeling devs want the game's image to be less "violent" with the overly unstressed crew voices

One of the few good voicelines in warthunder can be heard if you call artillery on yourself. They either scream "TARGET MY LOCATION" or "Requesting barrage on me, repeat, requesting barrage on me"

Brother I know what tank combat sounds like

So cool! The panic in Their voice, even the driver chiming in, so cool!

good for us we don't need self rangfinding here almost?

Love hearing those glorious words: ON THE WAY
