Designing & Building the Most Destructive of Tanks - New Tank Design Game - Sprocket

Welcome to Sprocket. In Sprocket you design tanks in a dedicated and intuitive designer, allowing the realistic armour mechanics that make tank combat so unique. Explore tank design's challenges through WW1, the interwar period and the early, mid and late stages of WW2. I hope you enjoyed this first look of Sprocket, thanks for watching and liking.

@@Qardo and that $200 is enough for you to buy 1 or 2 games Instead of 1 tank

[@Qardo]

@@somerandomboi522 You must not have heard the mass exodus that is happening with WarGaming and their titles. To which the community is fed up not being listened to. That they told the company lock boxes is gambling and yet know what they did? Still, put ship or tank in those lock boxes (I think planes too but I do not know anything about planes). Which boils down to. Basically, spending 200 bucks or more for a CHANCE to finally get lucky and get your tank, ship, or plane. As the chances are lower than winning a Jackpot at a casino. Yes, you have better odds winning money from the Lottery than a digital item in a video game.

[@juliaslavova9672]

YES SO TRUEEEEE

[@ygk1994]

Fun fact, Those logs werent used to get across trenches, when tanks would get stuck in mud, the log could be tied to both of the tracks, so the tank would basically pull itself out of the mud by pulling the log under itself. You can see this method dating back to WW1, where mark tanks had a specially designed beam laying on top of the tank in case they needed it.

[@darnit1944]

You are wrong. Every Russian tanks carried logs so they can crucify captured Panzer crews.

[@Gatx104]

yeah and some these logs has even more armor thickness than some tanks haha and the Russians seems to be avid users of logs all the way to the modern era

Rounded turrets/armor, multiple turrets, working machine guns, oscillating turrets, and hopefully many more parts for suspensions etc are all on the roadmap for this game-can’t wait!

[@sethb3090]

It would be fun to have separate eras of components too, get to play with improved materials and powertrains, or worse ones

[@KingAlton9403]

This is literally the game of my dreams, I've always wanted to design my own tank and let my imagination run wild with ideas. Also, being an avid historian, the WW2 esque style of the game really calls to me. Unfortunately, I don't see this game becoming very popular as it is a very niche genre, but I would definitely play this whenever my imagination gets the best of me.

[@Caragoner]

[@founderoftheempire8589]

As someone who has studied WW2 tank designs for a long time, I know what to put on a tank and what not to so I feel like I'd have fun making the perfect tank in this game. Also Drae is the first person I've seen play this game who understands how important angled armor is

[@hypo0072]

I brought this game the day after i heard about it. My laptop struggles to run it past 12 fps but I don’t care I love it. I even accidentally made a decent tank in my first go

[@AdamKing60]

More of this game would be welcomed. Actually, you have played quite a few games lately that I genuinely enjoyed and wanted more of. That Chernobyl game is one of them, that WW2 Bunker Survival game, this Sprocket game, and Road 96, to name a few. Keep up the solid work, man.👍🏻

[@THESLlCK]

hearing drae explain effective thickness was like listening to a monkey lecture on astrophysics no offense :D

[@tobicole5643]

hopefully this game gets worked on more since its in early access. multiplayer on this game would be incredible

[@steeljawX]

I think a disclaimer is in order though. This game is in early access. There's a base game with basic things that will get you an armored tracked vehicle out of it all. There's a lot missing like certain suspension, certain guns, design features, engines, multi turrets, multi large caliber guns, anti infantry gun use, modular damage and repairing, etc. There's just a frame work that works and is fun, but there's just so much more that needs to be done to turn it from a decent early access game to an awesome full release game. So if you do buy it and are frustrated or disappointed with it, just remember that it just came out in early access. It's still a "babu" of a game. I'm excited to see it improve though.

[@quentin7763]

THIS!!!!! And the game is developped by ONE person as far as I know, so be patient and don't hesitate to check the discord to see the roadmap and ask for help from the community!!!!

This game has an incredibly steep learning curve. It‘s more off a learning cliff actually. Your design was as expected, not very good and a bit simple, but that‘s part of the learning experience. My tip would be reading/wagching a fan made guide in the game. They tell you most of the basics, other than that, just change some sliders and see what it does. I‘d love to see more

[@Bob_Kerman_SPAAAACE]

In the vid you went 26 kilometers an hour for your light tank you made. The panzer four a medium tank went 42 km/h meaning your tank is actually 5 km/h faster then the German tiger. So it would be considered sluggish. Not the worst speed but still

[@Shawnchapp]

its actually pretty bad considering the tiger is a heavy and his is slower and its a light and the tiger went about 40km/h so its was just 5 km/h faster
