Sprocket: Building an AIRDROPPED light tank!

Today we build a light tank with the intention of dropping out of a plane like an unwanted toy! Hopefully you enjoy this one, not my prettiest tank ever, but she performs well!

I was just watching Lazer pig talk about flying tanks and you drop this video . The coincidence

This one reminds me a lot of the Colonial Battle Tank, the Lance-36, from Foxhole. The turret especially is quite similar. Needless to say, I'm a fan. I always loved the look of the Colonial tanks.

[@planetfall5056]

oooh yeah. it does! I love Foxhole tanks. Now i want to make a Silverhand

[@nathanielswanson7131]

damn collies, wardens forever

[@itsaneternityinthere]

I actually made a few Warden tanks in sprocket, and I honestly now have a fascination with circular turrets.

"I think it'd be good if you started to put your own blueprints in the appropriate folders to get them to spawn in the scenarios. If you need to know where to drop them I think I can point you in the right direction. At least when I was doing that, it seems like you can make the spawn "pool" as large as you like and the game will randomly select from it; and with how many tanks you're building, you could have some huge variety. You could also then go out of your way to build tanks (for every period) that fill all different niches to maximise the variety and potentially have a counter to everything" -Tom Meakin (I'm reposting this, this is a really nice idea and I think it would spice up the game a bit. I did it personally!)

the BMD1(airdroppable BMP1) was 7.5 tons so you good on that !

The tetrarch Stuart Locust One of The design tanks of the Hungryan navy air force

[@1337spacemarines]

The mobility and fast-firing gun really gives tetrarch (obviously) and locust (less obviously) vibes. What about a similar tank concept, but made for glider insertions rather than para-dropped? gives a fairly hard upper limit on weight, and if you design it around the concept of a light tank supporting commando action behind enemy lines, gives you a lower bound on armour (only needs to protect against repurposed 40mm and 20mm autocannons). I love the idea of an evil little light tank meant to zip around and destroy FOBs and logistics depots, but running into these scenarios. could be upgraded to a casemate TD to fit a better (read: stolen) big gun

[@b-rad_arts8568]

Talking about Airborne Tanks. Love to see something like a M56 scorpion or some other open top TD like it.

[@bpw102896]

Maybe not a parashoot tank,but might work in a glider

[@ottaviobasques]

I would suggest building a Emil-project tank (aka the Kranvagn) because of its different type of oscilating turret (with a pretty darn good protection if you insert it in a situation without 300mm+ ammunition) But i'll spare you from the possible suffering it may be to build one

[@fluffyfuzzy6380]

no clue how you're doing it, but each video you publish makes me want to impulse buy sprocket even more

[@7378Femboy]

The M551 seridan could be parradroped and it was 15 tons

[@PatchBits]

I was basing the weight on the rough bomb load of a Lancaster, but it's a bit over.

[@DuplexWeevil337]

@PatchBits it would still be able to be parachuted or glided it would be slow though (the aircraft)

[@7378Femboy]

Well then its over by 2.5 times

[@globul3410]

Hey Will! Just wanted to say that I really really like this new style of video with the build process!

[@StanfieldMacCue]

Massive fan of the new timelapse strategy!

[@provinsky]

Man I love all of your videos i’ve been saying it for the past three weeks and I’m going to keep saying it you are the best sprocket KZbinr

[@CanadaJarod]

Your tank comes out slightly heavier than the Antonov A-40 flying tank, pretty reasonable weight

[@dudududu1926]

Suggestion: make a one with the opposite of anything possible. ie driver in turret gunner in hull, engine in front sprocket in the rear, gun mounted sideway.

[@russianyoutube]

If you need more space, abuse the basket space in the turret compartment settings or try making the belly lower, I used that a lot I sadly don't own the game but I'm planning on buying it

[@lazarus6125]

Design a tank in WW1, then have it try and beat the game upgrading 1 part of the tank on each level. So sandbox WW1 specs and start on ambush. Each level earns one upgrade in one part of the tank. So gun, turret, engine etc, you only choose one, and choose wisely.

[@ricochettheprotogen4928]

"ENEMY DROPPING INTO THE AO" fr tho great lookin build so far (i havent watched the entire video yet)

[@egoalter1276]

Airborne tanks of this era were either glider deployed or had glider kits. Paradropped afvs are an invention of the 60s, and would usually use rocker breaking before touchdown.

[@darryldouglasmarbaniang7162]

Buddy, try taking a British Crusader Mk.3 tank and make some modifications to it. Doesn't need to be completely historically accurate (like both the hull and turret being both widened and extending, a bigger and long-barreled main gun, thicker armod wider the tracks, a more powerful engine, and giving it armored side skirts)? If not, then please tag this for your next video.

[@wagonlee5443]

Nice video! I recommend disabling depth of field in the video settings, at least when you are designing tanks. It removes that annoying blur when you zoom in close to the tank to place small parts.

[@Rookie_FPS]

It's not too heavy of a tank because the m22 locust weighed 7.44 tonnes

[@aracaniusinfinius2880]

Now I wanna see a Mark 13 with a pike nose design for the front just to see how ridiculous it can look. Heck, pike nose the turret too and call the thing Mark 13-PNTD. After that would be seeing how large of a gun you can fit on it without heavily affecting the core design aspect of the base model lol

[@nathanielswanson7131]

that turret looks really nice late midwar, gives me m3a3 vibes (m5a1 has the weird thing sticking out so...)

[@macncheese2029]

lovely jobely

[@Sturmensky]

Love this new style! Also, the detail segments filled me with joy - because those little touches always give me new ideas for my own designs (granted, you could say that about the entire thing). Definite tetrarch vibes - looking forward to more! Also, never apologize for cats. Cats are wholesome.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Shame you can't actually airdrop the tanks in this game. It would be amazing just dropping tanks from the air. Also your cat is pretty awesome!

[@jessegd6306]

It could be done as a scenario mission: Having a very strict weight limit and the spawn point being in front of some landed gliders, with the task of destroying some artillery and capturing a location.

[@DuplexWeevil337]

Like a d-day bridge capture?

[@masshysteria9657]

ayee that's cool

[@justastickofbutter5547]

That thing is so unbelievably British

[@rexbow3799]

next up is a flying tank

[@Humpo48]

It looks like a tetrarch ironically

[@ronaldknight7535]

Could you make a heavy tank with a turent in the rear and engine up front?

[@pontushaggstrom6261]

cool cool

[@draconon7072]

Hey I made one of these in Sprocket a while ago! Got it down to 7.05 Tons

[@draconon7072]

Had a small gun though, only 25mm, and very little armor

[@TorontoCanada5]

the M22 Locust was about 7.4 tonnes

Hey! I just got sprocket over Christmas and was wondering if you've ever thought about a tutorial on how to sprocket?

Not sure my skills for a full tutorial, but my full unedited builds are in the description of my two latest videos, which may help.

[@requitedhail8953]

@@PatchBits it definitely does help! Sprocket is a very confusing game to jump into

its like an a13 cruiser tank but on steroids'

yeah yours should be able to be para dropped because the locust is 7.4 tons
