Evaluation

Gunner, HEAT, PC! has been in Steam Early Access since September 6, 2022 and remains explicitly unfinished. The developer maintains a public roadmap toward a 1.0 release, and multiple recent updates directly reference ongoing roadmap work. The store description describes features still planned, including a campaign mode and cooperative multiplayer, using forward-looking language. Development has been extremely active throughout the Early Access period. The 50 news posts scanned include 18 major content updates — a remarkable cadence for an indie studio. Recent highlights include: a complete AI overhaul on June 18, 2026; the Spähpanzer Luchs armored scout car and a full HE damage system overhaul on August 14, 2026 (just five days before today's assessment date); the Leopard 1A4 and impact marks system on May 8, 2026; the Marder 1A2 IFV on February 10, 2026; and the Leopard 1A3 family on December 18, 2025. Feature patches have also arrived at a regular clip, covering AI improvements, tree destruction, audio overhauls, and optimizations. Multiple update posts explicitly state that "the majority of the development team continues to work on the remaining roadmap goals" and reference specific outstanding milestones such as a detailed crew stations overhaul and campaign mode. The most recent developer communication was August 14, 2026. There is no indication from the developer that the game is approaching completion or that any planned features have been cancelled.

About this game

The tank game you've been waiting for

It's a weird time for fans of modern tank combat games. The straight-shooting simulator titles from the turn of the millennium are no more. As tank nerds, we need a game that gets right to the good stuff - modern tanks, realistic system and damage models, and a focus on fun over all.

With Gunner, HEAT, PC! we aim to make that dream a reality.

GHPC will blend game and simulation in just the right amounts, providing awesome fire control and ballistics simulation behind deceptively simple controls. This core feature set serves as the foundation for a rich single player campaign mode, skirmish missions, and (eventually) cooperative multiplayer modes: a satisfying option for every taste. And let's not forget about infantry and support units - tanks weren't built to fight alone. AI-controlled combined arms forces will round out the tactical environment and let armored units shine the way they were meant to.

We're making a great tank game because that's what we want to play.

GHPC features a fictional conflict between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in central Germany circa 1985. Play as armored units from the United States, Soviet Union, German Democratic Republic, and Federal Republic of Germany.
