I used an AI to build a tank in Sprocket

#eta320 #sprocket #buildvideo #speedbuild #ai #chatgpt #tanks #tankhistory
So, I had an idea... Well actually, no I didn't. I stole an idea. Matt Lowne did a fantastic video using AI to build missions for him in Kerbal Space Program, so I figured, why can't I get it to build me a tank in Sprocket?
This is my first time making a video like this, but I think it came out quite well, and I hope you did too!

[@theroundtable6371]

​@@eta320 what's wrong with the T-34 video?

[@eta320]

@@theroundtable6371 The overall point of the video is valid, and on a broad scale, I agree with most of what is said in it. However, there are a lot of odd sources used and it makes a lot of claims that were dubious at best. There is a general lack of nuance and understanding of the economic, industrial, and political situation surrounding the tank (all of which go as far back as its inception in 1936). The video paints with a very large brush, and claims a lot of things as fact, when they can only be speculated. The video also starts off basically dismissing a fantastic historian who specializes in Russian/Soviet armored history, because he got in an argument with him on Reddit. And the whole video plays out with "We're gonna ignore all of this evidence defending the T-34 because none of it is true and people who support the tank are dumb." Which from a historical analysis perspective is incredibly immature and should instantly tell you that you should take everything said in it with a LARGE grain of salt. Also the fact that the narrator admits to being drunk the whole video, and admitted themselves in a later video that they were not in the best mindset when they made the T-34 video and they regret a few things about it. I won't claim to be any better, I'm just some random idiot who loves tanks. But I am not personally impressed with the T-34 video. It made some good points, and was overall a fine summary, but when you get to the meat of it, there is a lot wrong with it. The T-14 video has all of these flaws, x10.

[@theroundtable6371]

@@eta320 I would argue that LP made a fine argument. For example, he immediately in the beginning of the video talks about the difference between postwar and wartime T-34 tanks, and acknowledges that the economic/industrial side of the tank hindered it's performance in WW2, and that is why post WW2 T-34s are built to a much higher standard. I feel that he addressed T-34 "fans" and their defenses quite well, especially considering the US field test of the T-34 and the critics of said test. I get that he gave off the impression that he dismisses all who praise the tank in the beginning of the video with his opening skit, but he does actually address most arguments I myself had made about the T-34. And while yes, he was drunk during the video, it's not like he doesn't have a script, he does seem prepared. I might have missed some things, if you can point out anything specific I got wrong I'd appreciate it. Btw love the content

He says about not wanting it to look like a T-34, but when he started stretching the turret towards the front, it reminds me of the IS-1/IS-2 heavy tanks.

[@zeologue]

Very interesting video ! I might consider doing it myself because it looks like a lot of fun. By the way, at 9:30, you mention how these roadwheels look like the Christie type roadwheels although in the game they are said to be the roadwheels of the early Cruiser tanks. Well, you may not know it but the Cruiser tanks actually use the Christie suspension which is why they look so similar ! Anyway, the end result looks quite cool, and it was fun to watch.

[@eta320]

I did know, I sorta remark that in the video by saying “the game says cruiser tanks but I think it’s Christie style, which I guess isn’t too far off” because the Christie T3 and the cruiser Mk 3 appear to use the same road wheels and suspension.

[@skye_music]

[@sciferthebox]

Nice idea and cool design! One of my favorite prompts for Sprocket that I've done with friends is to design a light tank that can be delivered via glider. Similar to the Tetrarch or the M22 Locust. Gun, speed and armour could be flexible, but the tank couldn't weigh any more than 7 tons and be any bigger than 7 feet. Led to some really nifty little 1940s concepts!

[@DIREWOLFx75]

Using Christie suspension means you make the tank needlessly TALL. It's the single biggest difference between the T-34 and the vastly improved T-44. Also, every single extra angle you add is another problem for massproduction AND a potential shot trap. The ammo in the turret like that, oh dear gods... Turret sides are far too unrounded AND unsloped to be good protection, so you basically made a deathtrap.

[@eta320]

I made what I thought the AI wanted while still being visually interesting. But I appreciate your feedback

[@theblazingpegasus9151]

for me on this game i always struggle the most with a name for a design i usually just kinda dive in until a sorta overall vision begins to develop as i fuck around with ideas. tho i mostly use this game to design either exotic, super, or concept ideas for tanks like for example a tank designed to be a personnel carrier while still retaining the usual standards of at least a medium tank in terms of armor and firepower. my favourite was when i decided for a fun prompt i came up with what if after ww1 the ft17 never became the standard of tank design and instead the landship did and spent abunch of time making landship style tank designs for the french, british, german, russian, and US armys over the course of the interwar period and into the second world war for the day. was super fun. i def never thought of having chat gpt do scenerios and this def looked fun

honestly i wish Poland wasnt so overshadowed by russia and germany .I understand why, and I myself still enjoy the tanks and planes by other countries, but if only Poland was able to actually build and produce their own armaments in ww2. to be fair Poland was off the map for 100 years before ww1, but i think it would be nice to see a potential Polish tank compete with Tigers and JS 2's. If you'd like us commenters to give suggestions on scenarios, then i think it'd be a cool idea too, even if all we do is vote on different tank parts. btw keep up the good work man, great videos

[@hawkerofthe104th3]

Why does everyone relate angled armour to T-34? It’s been a thing since medieval times with castle walls being angled. Even ww1 tanks had angled armour.

[@eta320]

It’s simply the most famous point of reference, and also considering the prompt I have the AI specified an Eastern European type nation, I just had T-34 on my mind this whole build. But I agree T-34 was not the first (I would point at the French) just the most famous to slope on all sides as a significant design feature.
