I held a COMPETITION to see who could put the BIGGEST GUN on a 10t tank! | Sprocket

[@williamtranter5760]

You should add an aesthetics category for any future competitions. The chibi truck looked amazing.

[@jammygamer8961]

have it be a community vote tho

[@PuppyPlays1234]

Technically- the "Believability" score is an aesthetics category- However I agree!

[@Techno_Idioto]

Or, they could make it a rule that the vehicles have to actually look realistic and not like absolute GARBAGE.

[@Pancake_001]

@@Techno_Idioto YESSSSSSSSS IKR

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Well I mean you say "I don't think it's feasible at all because on uneven terrain the turret wouldn't rotate at all", while the KV-2 exists and had that exact issue. So an actual tank that was mass produced in decent enough numbers and fought in World War II with the Soviet Army gets 10 points for feasibility.

[@PatchBits]

You're right, if I'd seen a KV-2 without knowing it was real id probably have given it a 10 on feasibility though 😅

[@monsieursir1305]

Difference between that and the KV2 is the KV2 can support a giant offset turret given its turret ring and over structural strength. For thet design, realistically, firing it once would likely snap the structural supports of the turret

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

@@monsieursir1305 That, good sir, depends heavily on the recoil mechanism involved.

[@smiley.6534]

The KV2 is more than 50 tons

[@monsieursir1305]

@@Gustav_Kuriga no recoil mechanism is gonna nullify the fact that there is at best 15-20mm of steel with no structural supports holding that cannon.

[@theconeezeanemperor1619]

Thank you for hosting! Yeah, turret weight offset was a concern, that is in fact why I added the crane, and big stowage box in the back. I like to think the rear half of the stowage box is just filled with a lead counterweight lmao. Shame decals were broken in this update though, and I am sorry you presumably had to remove them, wouldnt have used that many had I known! Fun fact, the Basilisk started out as an L3 style tankette, which couldnt fit the turret I wanted so I widened and lengthened it, only for it to shrink down to almost L3 size again through development in order to reduce weight.

[@maikeldekwant]

some of these designs are just straight out of metal slug

[@the.other.ian.]

Next do a contest to see how many crew people can cram into a 10 ton tank. Sardine packing challenge.

[@samuelgidel5741]

Hello, creator of the 26cm Morserwagen here! I am really happy to score a 2nd place and to be included in this video. Participating in this contest was a lot of fun for me and I can't wait for another one - maybe in Flyout? Awesome video as always, Patch.

[@lizardlink5130]

These were cool but I think it would be good to do a quick video to highlight some of the more realistic/better looking designs as even the most feasible of these would realistically just not be possible and I saw some great designs in the discord which didn't make it due to more realistic cannons

[@ИгорьГригорьев-и4ь]

12:31 It actually was pretty clever to make driver control the vehicle by legs, because there is no room for hand steering wheel

[@jessegd6306]

ngl Having maximum size of gun caliber just means most of the designs will automatically be within the winning group so long as it meets the barest minimum of the qualifications, and the Feasibility score just seems needless since people can, and have, just made lumpy shapes and had the cannon size carry them on score alone. Just seems a bit cheap.

[@mr.tweaty]

11:35 This looks like something you would see in Metal Slug and I love it to death (and I haven't even touched Metal Slug...). Its appearance is just so charming... Edit: 14:19 This one looks really nice too

[@Urssaff]

I might be asking too much. I wonder if it would be possible to have list of the entries and their grades. I think it would be good to be able to see how we performed. Props to you for the initiative of the contest and to everyone who participated

[@the_duckzilla5521]

I feel like the feasibility score is a little odd, 0/20 for a fairly good design other than the manipulation to make a fake barrel (the driver position is just fine, irl prototypes have had driver positions that can literally kill the driver, or actual vehicles that have the driver backwards)

[@zeboy475]

Should've have honorable mentions! Can't wait for the next one!

[@Pancake_001]

yes 100%

[@rafaelgrandinbarbosa3333]

4:18 wtf is this, was him drunk while building this lol

[@vonvonvonvonvonvonvonvonvo7009]

Suggestion: Have feasibility be a multiplier, so if it's obviously impossible to actually make, have it be x0 and then it's scored all the way up to x1 for a fully realistic and feasible design. This would prevent someone from making a 500mm gun on treads.

[@ComfortsSpecter]

The 2nd from start and 3rd to last Are just so Beautifully Naturally detailed They appear as an Ingeniously Typical and Original design in It’s Context Incredible Vibe Good Art

[@stuchris]

now, I dont know the rules of the competition, and I dont even have sprocket (yet) however, was there anything stopping anyone from just literally having an upward facing mortar? I feel like you could work around some issues doing things that way, but I could easily be wrong.

[@stuchris]

also, insane and yet not surprised at all that all the submissions were german themed

[@theconeezeanemperor1619]

Those were some pretty cool tanks. I completely forgot to post my tank. I wouldn't have won, but I was pretty satisfied with my 150mm spg.

[@TheWhoamaters]

[@deptusmechanikus7362]

I think *some* feasibility points should be removed for upside-down steering wheel

[@SMV-CC88]

Is that a PANZER IV WITH SLOPED ARMOR?!

[@flameendcyborgguy883]

I mean, I just had 150mm but still, it was fun :>

[@shawmiserix404]

you should make it a rule in future competitions that the tanks can't have names over 4 words

[@wulfleyn6498]

Wait the size of gun changed the score, damn i didn't know that, thought it was just usability that was scored.

[@LeoYelac]

I had plans of strapping a 280mm cannon on a 10 ton tank, but the 12 shells requirement stopped me from doing that. The weight of cannon is also quite large. PatchBits, should I still try and make it?

[@PatchBits]

why not?!

[@LivvorMorthis]

All those tanks can probably triple their top speed just by firing backwards

[@rowbot5555]

They usually end up just toppling backwards

[@gloccry2184]

Competition Idea: Have contestants design a heavy tank capable of deflecting [X] rounds at a weight of [Y] tones. Extra points if they can survive shots from the side and rear.

[@echatzaki8777]

in my opinion you should divide the mm of the tank by the fizabilyty 1 bing the biggest 10 being the lowest

[@NIGHTMERUL]

Day 2 of asking to make a modern after cold war tank more on american branch of desings !

[@kenshineki44]

sadly i did enter really small cannon which was my stug with rivets, the next challenge should be to make a universally dispatchable medium tank like the sherman.

[@ElDogeYT3744]

ITS HERE

[@shinobi_o_o___]

love how goofy all the winning entries were

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Actually the turret of the last one (in your competition) looks very much like a KV-2 turret if it was open top. And remember what I said about the KV-2 turret.

[@Bro_Anton]

Hello patchbits how are IS my first question and Love your vids keep IT Up 2 question can you try to build (3 Options Pick one you Like) p51(flyout) kw1(sprocket) or A10(flyout) maybe you will read this comment or Not Love to See you make you vids how did you come Up with the Name patchbits? Bey Till mecz video😊

Was a moving turret a requirement? I feel like when getting a gun that big a fixed gun would make most sense
