Gunner, HEAT, PC! is a vehicle-centric combined arms combat simulator developed and self-published by Radian Simulations. It is set in the late Cold War period, portraying a breakout of hostilities between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the Fulda Gap region of the inner German border. The game is a streamlined tank simulator (including IFVs, APCs, and other ground vehicles) and has two singleplayer modes - an early campaign featuring logistical attrition, and an instant action mode for more immediate gameplay. Both modes can be played either as NATO or the Pact. Currently, the United States Army is the only NATO sub-faction readily playable. As of 2024 updates, both the East German National Volksarmee (NVA) and the Soviet Western Group of Forces are implemented for the Warsaw Pact. West Germany and infantry elements of gameplay are planned as part of GHPC's eventual 1.0 full release.
