The Da Vinci Tank 537 Years Later, and More! [Instruments of Destruction]

Welcome to another episode of Instruments of Destruction! Today I am back in the workshop checking out some more crazy demolition machines, including a few inspired by real historical machines like the Schwerer Gustav and the Da Vinci Fighting Machine.

About the game:
Instruments of Destruction features an advanced physics-based destruction system. You can demolish every structure in the game piece by piece. In addition, every object you see in the game world--save for small decorative plants and rocks--is part of the physics system. Each element of the world interacts with each other and together they create a physical, visceral world to play with.
Build Your Vehicle
Build a vehicle your way, with an ever-expanding array of parts and pieces. Using an intuitive vehicle construction system that also lets you customize your vehicles' appearance and controls, you'll always have fun creating your next awesome invention.
From simple splitters to advanced joints, a variety of parts slowly unlock as you play through the game, and each unlocks countless new possibilities.
While some vehicles will perform better than others in accomplishing your objectives, it's always a bit more fun to get creative and go a little off script. Optional bonus challenges and objectives will reward more creative builders and add more replayability.

Hi, it is me the creator of the Gustav replica, i wanted to say thank you for the criticisms!, i have released a new version which should solve most of those issues (mainly the power of the cannon and the mobility of it)

[@hi-wf9ql]

it looked really good, i have known it existed for a while but yours looked awesome, LIKE SO SCRAPMAN READS IT

Schwerer Gustav means Heavy Gustav in German

[@trulsanderberg5813]

Nice

WRT the historical da Vinci tank, there are some indications/theories the lower section was intended to spin to bring a loaded cannon to bear (it's worth remembering that at that time breach-loading wasn't a thing that was workable, so those guns are all muzzle-loaded, and there wasn't sufficient space inboard to reload them). The upper section, which in the version you just tested mounted an additional four guns, was intended to house the commander/spotter (who might be carrying a matchlock as well).

[@ledocteur7701]

also, da Vinci did not wanted to design a war machine but couldn't just refuse the job entirely, so he voluntarily designed it to be impractical.

[@Extramrdo]

So it's a "how do I put one cannon in the enemy's face 32 times without arrows or petty guns bothering them" more than an omnidirectional presence of overwhelming force.

[@pwalefire5537]

The da Vinci tank from TABS

[@Hyper_Fox06]

I mean Davinici pretty much scribbled it on that eras version of a cocktail napkin, it's definitely not gonna have all the technical fiddly bits worked out.

[@raulalejandro3891]

The juggernaut is from star wars and it was a pretty accurate creation

3:43 the gustave was made to destroy the magonet line on the french border before the idea of invading Belgium to get around it was there.

The look on his face when the Muramasa Array fired…😂🤣😂. I couldn’t breathe!

The juggarnaut was an imperial heavily armored tank in Star Wars used for transport in in rough terrain.

[@nomad4219]

That Chaos Kid was too accurate to my household of 3 small children 😅

[@franciskurian9392]

Scrapman, I got an idea. Make a beyblade and surround it with magnets facing outwards and use thrusters to rotate it. Use a swivel to cancel out the beys rotation and place another swivel on top of it and place some thrusters to use for changing directions (in instruments of destruction)

[@Dra90n214]

You can make the armor plates bigger than one square to improve your catapult weight issue.

[@spawnn3r]

I love how scrapman is taking to a history thing and I like it tbh since I also like history stuff

[@-InTheProcess-]

In one of these games, you should have a war with all of the failed contraptions to prove the superier one.

[@serpentinious7745]

Multilayer Monday Idea: Relay race across land, sea, & sky. Must transfer a baton between vehicles at each part. And the baton is an angry haybot with agro structures on. For the final leg you must drop the haybot in a kill pit and collect the spine.

[@-user_redacted-]

Side project time. Build a keyboard that puts on a musical fireworks display. Bonus if you can make the grand finale decimate the buildings in a single motion.

[@waterlicker8635]

The “grandfather”/WWI version of the Schwerer Gustav, the Paris Gun, was so powerful, the Germans found out that they could aim the gun at 55° to get the farthest distance the round would hit

[@TheCaptainSquiggles]

It was the stunned silence when he released the muramasa array for me. I was laughing so hard

[@axolotlsinovertime1496]

Hello, I think it will be very entertaining if you could make some sort of small RC vehicle that could place itself inside of buildings, and explode (or release tons of sharp objects) obliterating the building. Day 1.

[@jamesTBurke]

It had 32 cannons so it wouldn't need to be loaded. And if I remember correctly it was supposed to be autonomous

[@grape.1609]

idk why this video is so satisfying made me fell asleep while watching

[@jordanvienneau9178]

the looks on Scrapmans face after firing the 16 bladed one (successfully) is priceless, someone needs to meme that

8:00 to 8:53. just look at scrapman's face. im laughing my head off🤣

You should try and make a Cyclocopter

[@grantarmstrong2968]

I think that the davinci tank was designed to spin in place, on one side it is firing the cannons one after the other, and on the other it is being reloaded so it is a constant stream of cannon shells

Not sure the accuracy here, but in TABs the da vinci tank spins around and rapidly fires in the one direction.

2:55 no it wasn’t a rail gun it was a cannon used explosive charges to launch the 1 ton projectile but the tracks didn’t hold its weight and once it derailed it couldn’t be placed back on

[@Poldovico]

Not a railgun, as in an electromagnetic accelerator. A rail gun, as in a gun on a railway.

[@verdyst4032]

Well technically it still is a rail gun because it's literally a gun on rails

Scrapman, you should play a game called forts in this game you get to build your own fort in various campaigns and these forts you can upgrade with new weapons it is also multiplayer and supports mods and maps on the steam workshop

[@davincireplicas]

It is unfortunate that most of his notes and sketches were lost. Who knows what other brilliant ideas he had.

[@toxicwarcat7739]

by the way scrap man those rail guns were not failures they were actually used, multiple versions were mad in germany and russia, the gustav also shot its 20,000 pound or 10,000kg round into the french lines and they even shot it at a advancing tank column and although few tanks were destroyed all of them were damaged one was even sent airbourne by the explosion.

[@nyscersul42]

You sort of did do a seperate attached vehicle when you were making the ropes and stuff do damage

[@mystlcgreatness]

You can build all the stuff in SimplePlanes because it’s not all just blocks

[@Zanzopan]

This is a pedantic personal pet peeve of mine. Really hate when people call that a spatula. By modern definitions, any handled mostly flat ended non-sharp kitchen/cooking utensils is technically a spatula. But for hardcore "kitchen enthusiast" like me the only thing that counts as a spatula is what the traditional one, aka the "palette knife" spreader (or icing spreader). The other main spatulas are the turner (what you made), the (batter) scrapper (what bakers call spatulas and are rounded and usually latex or silicone) or the (cooking) scrapper (usually stubbier and flat to scrap pans).

[@megacharmaster9707]

The juggernaut is a Star Wars vehicle

[@irondreadnought3559]

It would be cool if you were to build a Sturmpanzerwagen A7V heavy tank

[@Claymore1944]

3:10 you are wrong, the biggest gun ever is the little david, it wasn't actually a cannon, but was used to test bombs to be dropped from planes

[@lucas6620]

yea, that's correct but from what i remember, the Schwerer Gustav was the largest to be put into battle, just some extra info

[@j.t.3479]

Can you bild a screw Tank in trailmakers,scrapmechanics or instruments of destruction

[@Jack_Wolfe]

17:17 it was actually meant to be 8 or so people, its not as small as a car. It was a "land ship" so just imagine a circular pirate ship on land.

[@Jack_Wolfe]

18:00 yea he was anti war, so it was designed to shut up military demanding things from him.

[@clipsenede2559]

13:58 is an AA gun

There is an interesting story behind the DaVinchi's tank.He was actually forsed to do it and he did a mistake in the notes on purpose, because he didn't want to be the reason for killing so many people

Hey I’ve got some recreation ideas. One is the SU-45 tank, another suggestion is the SNECMA Coléoptère (or C.450). They are only suggestions.

[@xdragon2k]

Omg, I thought when they say it require rails, it meant the projectile need to be resting on a rail of sort to be shot out. But no... the gun need to be transported by rails.
