| Cloud Saves Now Enabled | 2026-05-08 | As part of our work for the latest game update, we set up the necessary in-game infrastructure to synchronize the game's save data between PCs using Steam cloud sync. That feature is now available and should activate itself on your next run of the game! (You may also need to restart the Steam client first.)We didn't include this in the initial change log, as we wanted to test it behind the scenes to make sure it was working, but now we're satisfied that it's working and we've flipped the switch.At the moment, the cloud sync will preserve your Instant Action mission completion stats, so you don't lose your progress and your access to customize |

NEW FEATURE: IMPACT MARKSAnother item from GHPC roadmap phase 7 arrives today: visible impacts from projectiles on armor. Most projectiles will now leave a mark where they hit, with the appearance based on the projectile type, incident angle, and whether it penetrated or failed to penetrate.This feature combines well with one of the game's previously added systems: the flammable item simulation and compartment setups in the vehicles.

NEW FEATURE: TREE DESTRUCTIONOften, in an early-access game under active development, features that to some seem obvious or even mandatory end up being placed lower on the priority list. Until now, tree destruction has been in that situation: a readily apparent "need" for the tank driving experience, but not a high priority for implementation while more important work was being done. We indicated that this would eventually become a feature b |

NEW VEHICLE: MARDER 1A2The latest arrival in the ongoing development of the West German equipment is the Marder 1A2 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). In most respects, this vehicle is identical to the existing Marder A1- and Marder A1+ IFVs previously added to the game, but there is one very important difference: the addition of a standard forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal sight for the gunner.If you've learned how to use the M1 or the |

NEW VEHICLE: LEOPARD 1A3As part of our ongoing task of implementing the full suite of West German vehicles in GHPC, we are introducing the Leopard 1A3 family of tanks. This design was a development of the Leopard 1A1, intended to be manufactured at factories that were better equipped to make welded turrets rather than cast. The tank has a similar level of protection to its predecessor.Much like the Leopard 1A1, the Leopard 1A3 is equipped wi |

A NOTE ON PRIORITIESThe bulk of the team's efforts are now dedicated to finishing the remaining roadmap phases. These are longer-running tasks that don't fit cleanly into the typical update cadence we've established. Despite this, we're still able to bring smaller batches of regular improvements to the game, and we look forward to launching the more anticipated features when they're ready.For more information, check out our recent developer |

COMMAND MODEWhat is Command Mode?Ever since the RTS mode that was temporarily in the game for April Fools 2025, many players have asked for the feature to return. There were lots of questions about why we would do all that work only to remove it. Well, like most things we do for April Fools events, that feature had a second purpose, which was to serve as a testbed for our actual goal: a standard game feature that allows players to adjust the |

ABRAMS OVERHAULAs some of the flagship tanks in GHPC, the M1 and M1IP Abrams get an outsized portion of the attention and play time. In light of this, the art team felt that it was time to revisit the vehicle's internal and external modeling, in order to take care of some improvements we've had on the to-do list for a while.

NEW VEHICLE: MARDER A1+ IFVThe existence of a Marder A1 minus in GHPC implies the existence of a Marder A1 plus, and sure enough, that variant arrives today. In the late 1970s to early 1980s, the Marder 1 was upgraded to the A1 standard, but not all of the upgrade vehicles could receive a thermal pointer sight. To distinguish the two sub-variant |
