Retired Abrams Commander here. I'm so very pleased that there are more games than Steel Beasts doing my favorite vehicle justice. The detail of the M2's spade grips for some reason really impressed me.
@@Rokaize Last I checked it was also $100. It's always nice to have more options. EDIT: I just checked and it's $125 and requires an authentication USB stick. That is some hardcore anti-pirating right there.
@@Rokaize Nothing wrong with Steel Beasts, but nothing wrong with more variety either! I do think GHPC also does appeal a little more to the more casual audience. I've played both, and enjoyed both, but GHPC was definitely easier to pick up for me. Both did a great job of making me think "Good lord, they made shooting things so easy in an Abrams even I can do it..."
That's impressing. I read in steam's discussion that ERA block mechanism is in the code and some mods have that. I didn't expect it's real. Must download and play now.
@@PhanPhantasy let me know what you find out. I love steel beats but finding people to play with and trying to get it all organized is kind of a nightmare. Would be great if GHPC would be multiplayer and have a random quick mission generator like DCS. I think it’s one of the best things about DCS for solo and multiplayer . Generates, units, waypoints, and everything and then all you gotta do is jump in and get it.
@MarvinBoydCo you can join my discord server if you're looking for a group for Steel Beasts. There's also a steel beast forum that has games organized.
Btw, the Increased Pact Lethality mod now allows you to select 3BM26 and one other special APFSDS round for the T-72s. ERA can also be applied to both T-72s. I'm keeping that other round a secret because it seems the mod maker wants it like that. I'll give you a hint though: you can find out what this round is by examining the source code for the mod.
@@fabian3705 You need to find the MelonPreferences cfg file in your GHPC installation folder. Search function is highly recommended. Also, the "secret round" is actually 3BM42. The mod-author made the name of this round public so I feel comfortable in revealing what it is now.
While the kontact 1 very much helps its only limitation is that it only works against heat and not things like sabot rounds the t72s FCS Intel the b3 is still very outdated compared to the late NATO MBT'S and the more advanced Soviets MBT'S like the T-80B and T-64B Even the T72Bs uses the same FCS as the t72s in-game use with the only difference being a lead calculator that tells you the amount of lead you need to apply
Just 1 question regarding the T72B ERA, is it supposed to be so "though"?Looks like with ERA added especially on the side you are gonna need to put down 20+ shells into the tank before you take it down,seems a bit unrealistic or am I just uneducated? Edit 1:Also lovely to see the M84's since they were seen a lot in combat in my country Bosnia about 30 years ago,will definitely check it out.
ERA can stop HEAT and certain ATGMs. The video I showed is a hypothetical situation where you're using HEAT rounds against the T-72B. Typically, you wouldn't since AP is very effective against ERA or tanks in general. I hope this helps!
gotta say im very sad to see that most modders just decide to add whatever rather than sticking to historically accurate designs. like replacing the bmp machine gun with an ags, giving the bmp2 missile overfly top attack capeabilities and so on.
Nah we need current day, im tired of driving in and around Sherman's, there's a million tank games with ww2 vehicles, we need modern up to date tanks like the M1A2D SEP IV

I'll assume you have melonloader on. Do you have other mods installed? There are two M1A1 mods. For M1A1 AMP make sure to only use that. And when you load the mods, you can check on the cmd prompt if the mods are loaded, do you see the T-72B loaded?

Gread mods!
Hey bro how to instal this mods?
I have melon loader and i put in file mods and they dont work
Thank you😊
When I left the old ERA and top attack code in the game, I had no idea anyone would eventually use it for mods. Pretty interesting stuff.
Impressive! Wish to see them in future updates ❤
@@frankxu2321 Both are out of timeline for the current theater in the game, but you never know what the future will hold!
Best job I ever had.
@@ActionScripter If a modder can do this to unused code, then he would be a good addition to the team.
Would be cool to see more modability to the game, would allow so much more options and replayability.
Man if a challenger 1 mod is added I will be over the moon!
I hope that eventually modded tanks can be added without replacing another
I'm glad to see M-84 stuff and I think it would be dope to see yugoslav war and more modern technology in general

I wish you could have some of the sounds from steel beasts in GHPC. I also love the heat wave off the gun in the sigh on SB vs GHPC
I have done a bit of digging, and it "may" be possible to change some sounds. I'll have to play around it.

man i cant wait for a ww2 mod for this game
There's a game called Tank Squad that you should check out. I've covered it on my channel in the past.
Nah we need current day, im tired of driving in and around Sherman's, there's a million tank games with ww2 vehicles, we need modern up to date tanks like the M1A2D SEP IV
M-84 never had thermals during the Cold war. Also no side panels, just the usual rubber skirts.
The mod replaces the T-72M or T-72M1 in this game with its fire control systems. Unfortunately, not all mods change can the models, yet.
@@PhanPhantasy I understand, thank you for the answer.
Wait cuz the sight for the modded 72 looks so cool and feels like youre actually inside the tank[ik its not accurate and its limited but still]
Could you make videos with these mods? I really wanna see how it would effect on the battlefield lol
Got one coming up!
Is there a mod that readds live targets back to the showcase range? Always thought it was dumb when they swapped to the wooden targets and burned out targets lol
An M60a2 would just require a revised turret
Just want to see a mission editor! Please?
Maybe a mod for T64 to upgrade it with better FCS like laser one of the M1?
I was not hoping to see ERA being implemented this quick. Does shooting the tank in the uncovered areas produce damage?
These are mods. I don’t think they’re planning on adding ERA.
now im just wondering if you can shoot out the era with your coax
WW2 tanks we need in the future as DLC
Gonna have to be a mod, devs said they aren't going to do ww2
Nope modern tanks, you want ww2 crap that's in every game play warthunder, RO2, HLL or post scriptum we need stuff like the M1A2D
