100+KPH Super SPEED Tank! - Sprocket Gameplay

[@miltoska9708]

Edit: This info is outdated , I'll add a parentheses for how it works as of October 2021 Extensive testing for speed results: 1:Use the smaller roadwhells for higher top speed ,and the larger ones for more acceleration (outdated) 2: use smaller sprocket for acceleration and larger one for top speed (gearing now compensates better for smaller sprockets but bigger still better) 3: use the thickest tracks possible if you don't care about the extra weight Despite the extra weight ,it always adds speed 4: use the highest rpm engine that has enough torque for your design in all cases but if you are really low on internal volume(in which case use the highest displacement engine and try to increase sprocket size/reduce transmission ratio(outdated) 5: each tank needs a balance on the width of the tracks ,depending on its weight and how many you have . Generally stick around 0.2-0.4 width and interleaved and test from there 6: using sprocket size to fit your needs rather than lowering transmission ratio has more efficient torque transfer to the tracks ,and is always better unless it gets in your way (relevant ,but to a smaller extent) 7: make the final gear top out at engine max rpm + or - 10% usually its better to be 10% off then to have it exact (can't go 10% over max rpm anymore, and now days its better to be exact) 8: torque and rpm are way more important than horsepower

[@Damn_that_is_crazy]

in my head i was yelling at him cause the more surface area your tracks have to travel, the more power is needed, but also, if you make them too small, the rpm has too be ridiculously high

i also made a video on my youtube channel called superbee reaching 140, which is kindy odd his video has the word super in it but everything fine, i get 50 views and he get 15k

[@KorporalNoobs]

I got 100 on a 10t design that can beat Fields and Taiga (performance best at the 80kmh variant). That has 2 crew, 50 ammo, 420 internal fuel, 60+mm penetration and 80mm frontplate and turret front and 40+ uppersides. Meaning: 100kmh combat effective tanks are achievable and fun as hell to play. Just to inspire anyone to give it a shot.

[@sabrabi9555]

@@nepfain8932 Tanks in the earlywar stage simply don’t have the necessary armor thickness or cannon penetration to compete with latewar tanks.

[@KorporalNoobs]

Only if you allow gear and engine advance option changes. With direct edited armor values (typing it in allows for values above the sliders.) and the penetration progression through the era's you can stay competitive, but the gears and rpm changes will kill you. (And it has to do the Trench mission too? Oof. )

Look up truck gear ratios, like for a semi. The big number is a bigger gear reduction, thus slower and more torque.

[@jakubpollak2067]

If you are slowing down on highest gears, that mean you actually found the smallest ratio For ex. at 25:20 from fifth gear is okay, sixth is too much, so your lowest ratio (highest gear) should be between 0.5 and 0.6 for given engine Also: Ratios are NOT linear, so making gears like you did in 24:50 is not a great idea Difference between gear ratios is called gear spacing, and it should be smaller at higher gears, your spacing is constant ~0.1 for 4 gears

[@VivyX2]

min rpm and max rpm affects the time when ur gear change for example if ur tank can do 3400 rpm , then to make it gear up u should set the max rpm to 3100 or lower and min rpm tells the tank when to gear down

With the new updates,you should try this again. Hmmmm, yes again you should try this

[@danikahicks2210]

Look. I know this is a year late, but the suspension wheels that you are making larger and larger aren't powered. The *sprockets* at the rear of your tank next to the engine drive the tracks. The larger the sprocket, the more track will move when it turns, that will lower it's effective pulling power but increase its top speed.

[@linnear8571]

Dude spend probably hours trying to get the gears right, could've just slapped a spoiler on it, maybe some rgb strips and it would go around 100mph instantly

the fastest i can mostly go is a 12 cylinder 3 liter engine 3000 rpm max and service and 16 gears set to 8 can set on both foward and reverse that will mostly get you up to 50 km/h on straight with a 80 ton tank

[@acole5975]

Interesting but why reinvent the wheel? You could have based it on the hellcat, BT series, crusader and Cromwells. Given the odd chassis choices it would be easier to base it on existing designs and modify for engine, transmission, wheels and aerodynamics.

[@clockworkgiant9070]

Fun fact, the fastest tracked vehicle is actually slower than what you built, at 55mph

[@JuanPretorius]

If you lower the max RPM, it will hit it, then change into a higher gear. I just got 141 km/h :)

[@SpaceMonkeyBoi]

Make the most cursed tank you can think of

[@muhammedenestopcu2406]

I would assume smaller wheels would mean higher speed. Since they would reach higher rpm just because of the smaller diameter for the same horsepower. I don't think it would work out this way in reality because of other considerations, but might work inside the game

[@warbrain1053]

In game it is the wheels that give the momentum to tracks So bigger wheels make you faster. The best combo is minimum lenght, good transmission and fast (not powerful) engine

[@michellemorrison5841]

Incorrect, the larger the drive sprocket the higher top speed, smaller drive sprocket means quicker acceleration, so if you want to use small drive sprocket you would have to compensate with less gears and/or lower gear ratios to get high speeds, opposite with larger drive sprocket, more gears or higher ratios, gear ratios represent number of full revolutions per one revolution of engine, transmission or tires, so if you have 1st gear set at 3.0 that means that gear makes 3 full revolutions per one full revolution of the tracks, effectively making a 3:1 drive ratio this is considered a tall or long ratio good for speed, if you set 1st gear to 10.0 this means 10 revolutions of that gear make 1 full rev of the tracks, equals 10:1 drive ratio, this is considered a short ratio, good for acceleration... Hope this helps everyone make better gearing easier in the future, also always set max target rpm 200 to 500 rpms short of max engine rpm, this will keep you in the power without damaging motor...

As a guy thats super into engines and how the work in certain situations. I was mildly anoyed at tge fact thaat you ignore true power to weight. If you were to use a laatge liter v8 you would have less tourqe but MAASSIVE horsepower for the size of the vehicle (thus lowering the weight considerably) plus a large v8 is still lighter than a mid size v12.

youre making your max hp @ max rpm. but the engine sits at 600rpm below max rpm in gear. if max hp was at 2700rpm with redline at 3300 the torque would pull the next gear,

[@Fightre_Flighte]

Okay, I doubt this will be seen at all, but... Why do you make your target minimum RPMs half of your target maximum RPMs? Is that just a tipped baseline, or is there something I'm missing? Surely a few of these things could've been changed by changing the TRGT MIN RPMs, allowing to change gears into a lower RPM. Which relies more on torque, but... I'm pretty sure tanks are well known for being torquey beasts anyways. Either way, please... Someone let me know.
