- Having a game where I could design my tank has always been a dream of mine since I started playing War Thunder, now that's finally a reality. Sprocket is a game that allows you to design and build your own armored fighting vehicles, from tankettes to super heavies. You should definitely check it out, it's a nice breath of fresh air.

kinda reminds me of Automation, but with tanks instead of cars
Hey what if u have no money
And don't say that u have parents to buy it for u
I live in middle east and what 20bucks that a ton my parents doesn't even have 8bucks
Can you analyze the vehicle designs from Final Fantasy 7?
This game is in pretty early alpha and misses a lot of content, but the game has updates nearly everyday and I hope that it will get better over time!
I hope it does too :)
Even if they are bug fixes it shows that the dev is determined to make a great game
@@priestoffrogsandfatherofam8659 for a one man project that's a real good game
I hope? It will!
It's already better than it was 1 week ago, fixed track issues, mostly better cannon mechanics, fixed crashes and other stuff.
Spookston: "its like KSP, but for tanks"
me: *instantly buys*
Me: *INVEST*
Same
It's more like Automation: the Car Company Tycoon game, which I HIGHLY recommend
@@FearlessLeader2001 especially when you get the BMG conversion tool to bring your creations to life
Try From The Depths. It has a great building system
I improved the leopard and fought ww1 tanks with it felt about as balanced as warthunder lol
Hold on... Are you secretly a dev at gaijin or something? because it would make too much sense 🤔
@@prinzya.4538 You know the answer
SHIT THUNDER IS ALREADY AS TRASH AS POSSIBLE PEOPLE THOUGH SHITKET COULD OVER SHADOW IT BITCH PLS 🤮😭✋
@@gargon009 says the guy who wants the r3 and 3.3
@@adrianhultqvist4230 How is that related to what I said 💀
I bought the game just one week ago. Would totally recommend it.
Can't wait for future updates.
too poor for sprocket D:
Any way to get it for free??
@@udaykumartembhare7921 nope. 20 euros
@@udaykumartembhare7921 unfortunately no. Atleast not yet
footnotes of mine, just fyi:
*there is a planning in the pinned thread on the steam forums
*only shells you have are AP and APHE. derp guns atm are just sorta bad all around compared to long shlong AT guns. stuff like classic HE will probably come alongside the shell designer (i hope).
*the manipulation of shapes are very symmetrical. you have a limited amount of surfaces to stretch and shrink. you can however offset the turret and turn it into a casemate. this plus upcoming multi-turrets should give more possibilities.
*physical behaviors such as traction have been considered sort of eh, but are improving.
*there already are guides for understanding how engine, transmissions and suspensions work, as well as a pokedex of all the AI tanks you can meet in the scenarios.
*do not hesitate to play around with the existing tank models if you want an easy time. they will probably need some mods to suit your needs tho, because some are pretty mediocre when driven vanilla. i do not advise just rolling out in the no man's land with the "model IV" for example.
*AI has some cool moves but is still easily abusable and struggles on rough terrains such as, next point:
*the no man's land is probably amongst the tougher missions, as you will deal with harsh terrain and well hidden AT gun emplacements. understand that the more straightforward battles like what you saw in the vid are not in the first missions.
*community is pretty chillax atm. please make it last as long as possible by being so yourselves ;v
all this aside, the game is lovely enough just with what we have currently. hoping the dev will make their plan become reality.
the community is actually quite big, join the discord server
Can confirm
Create the most cursed tanks never been more fun
I personally have seen some very cursed tanks that have been created in sprocket
The Bob Semple-2 Has entered the chat
I made a red box with no weapons and just a driver that goes 60+ mph and then wrecks its own engine doing 4200rpm on 19th gear lmao
I would say it's much more like Automation, but with tanks, which is still good. I can't wait for the next update when multiple cannons become possible so I can make some cursed Warhammer 40k tanks
*Happy Baneblade noises*
ITS A BAAAAAANNNNNNEEEBLAAAAAAADDDDEEEE!!!!!
Yes. But you don't need 2 games to actually drive the things
uuuuuuuuu a automation enjoyer here
but won't that be too much dakka?
You know sprocket's really got it right because when you exactly recreate a tank (that can be recreated exactly within the limitations of the game right now), it ends up pretty much identical to the real thing in terms of weight and performance. I made a Su-122-54 and it ended up within .5 tons of the real thing with an identical top speed
Had a similar experience when recreating the king tiger, absolutely love the game.
You said "design your own tank" and I immediately went to the store page and bought it.
KSP really isn't that hard to learn. I just haven't found any motive to leave the Kerbin system and the part count is overwhelming.
no place like home
@@CharIie83 I mean even on my first playthrough I was close to unlocking the entire tech tree after only visiting the Mun and Minmus. I switched to sandbox mode before that, but it's still too easy. No real reason to explore further unless you enjoy KSP's amazing graphics.
@@dtgs4502 the challenge of getting to other systems and planets
@@dtgs4502 KSP is mostly about the mods, you can increase difficulty dramatically with realism mods with actual engine powers, actual fuel pros and cons, etc. Also stuff like limited ignitions, narrow or no range of throttling like in real life usually, and ullage (if you go zero gees for a moment too long, the fuel sloshes around and you get vapor in your feedlines and can't light the engine again), light speed delays, more realistic energy drain (powering a moon mission in the 60s/70s is really hard actually! Especially if you also have boil-off of hydrogen modded), and plenty more.
@@dtgs4502 still a nice game
I've designed at least 100 tanks my self, this is really cool.
Here he goes making HSTVL variants for maximum accuracy for futur youtube videos, keep it up champ!
lets just say...... i will not be surprised, but will also love it too
Finally! The game of my dreams!
I've been designing tanks and AFVs since grade 5, and i'm still doing it xD
I only recently designed an 8 wheeled IFV, enough space for 8 guys in the back,
2x2 tube ATGM launchers mounted either side of the turret, and a 90mm long barreled gun. Secondary weapons are twin coax, a read facing turret MG, and the commander cupola also has 4 mgs.
Most of the frontal armour is sloped at around 55-60° and is nade of 40mm plates, panzerworlds armour calculator gave me 234mm effective thickness on the upper glacis plate if i remember correctly.
Side armour is 30mm sloped at 45 and rear armour is 25mm
Ammo stowage for the 90mm follows soviet design tendancies... Comandier, there is spare space in the vehikle.
Moar shells comrade designier.
If i was to quickly describe its look... it looks like a centauro and a rooikat had a blursed kid, then it decided to wear a conquerors turret as a hat.
Same! I like to make 3D models of my vehicle designs and this game is a godsend. I can't wait till more features come so I can make them in this game more accurately than now. I saw on their roadmap that they plan to implement the ability to make custom parts via 3D modeling and putting it on the steam workshop.
I hope ATGMs come someday to this game.
@@RedVRCC That would be epic. I'm hoping that eventualy we'll be able to manyally place crew and componants down, or be able to switch between different types of modules, for example, going from vertical ammo racks to horizontal or wet stowage. Changing from diesel engine to multifuel opposed, or inline petrol. Or maby even being able to use different fuels.
Can I just say that I don’t fully understand 90% of what was said in these three comments but I just love to see people being invested in something and not be insulted for it, because it happens so much on this platform, well every platform really.
This is it, it'll blow up on sales. You rock, Spook!
It already has, I bought it the first day it was out
@asdrubale bisanzio yeah it is
If you got the 16 Euro to spare I def recommend it, helps development too!
I don't have :c
I'd love you to see make regular videos about this game.
Also, I appreciate you acknowleding that you need trial and error to learn this game (aka playing around with sliders as you have said). I've seen some youtubers that reviewed this game write off things they don't understand as bugs, which is rather sad.
Most youtubers thag are just trying to milk the game because its a sandbox game are gonna do that, but most of the ones that actually care won't.
@buffalo wt like I said, there are a lot of youtubers that just pick sandbox style games so they can make clickbait type thumbnails and milk them for views, not caring at all about actually looking into things in the game.
Actually seen a couple of this type of video pop up in my recommended already :/
Honestly the most fun I had in a Tank Game. I started with a single design that worked great for the first two missions with small improvements. I then had to take my case-mated design, added a turret and upgraded it for the rest of the missions. All in all it was really fun to do.
I focused on armor mobility and rate of fire on my build. It made it through every scenario. It took some trial and error though. The suspension simply sucked at first and the turret felt like a turtle was rotating it.
I recreated an M1A2 Abrams (or at least tried to) in the Sandbox mode, and modified it in the Scenarios to make it possible to use it there, such as changing the barrel length, ammo count or slight adjustments to the hull. I stuck with that design until the end and I never had to make any major changes to my Abrams to make it usable and effective on those missions, other than making the turret fixed to the hull in No Man's Land. It always had a 120mm cannon, always had the same engine and tracks, and more or less stayed faithful to the M1A2.
Another way to describe this game is SimplePlanes with tanks. Sure, SP has tank parts in mods and cannons built in, but this is 100% made for tanks.
Oh boy, time to make a multi-turreted KV-2
multi-turreted tanks aren't possible (yet) in sprocket? but the day they are, be ready for a lot of cursed designs
Gonna mount a 200 mm cannon to a l3/33 lolq
I had spent over 20 hours this week in this game. Can't wait for the Workshop implementation to make sharing tanks easy.
I'm really looking forward to early/mid cold war technology
i need those big goofy IR floodlights
For now, you can scale a headlight waaaay up to look like one. That's what I did.
I bought this instantly because I can almost guarantee the price will shoot up once it becomes more fleshed out. This game is super fun imo, you can already get some pretty cool results and even recreate modern MBTs. With a bit of creativity, you can in fact use parts in ways they weren't intended to so that you can emulate modern things (ie using a second larger drivers hatch as a modern gunner sight on top of the turret, using riveted panels scaled down as ERA, etc)
@buffalo wt fair point but you can't buy it now and just not play it?
You can make actual makeshift ERA by covering your tank in fuel tanks, for now at least.
I love that you use Subnautica music! KEEP IT UP I LOVE IT
Wait It’s one guy? Man I love that dude he is making my days so much better with all the content being made. Seems like sales are good at the moment and I hope it will keep rising
“Sees title” Sprocket is a banging game
Now make a sequel called transmission ngl tho the name fits quite well
Applique and stand-off armor would be cool in this. I want to take pretty much every tank design ever that I have gripes with and make them better. And if the eras are expanded, taking mid-to-late WWII tanks and modernizing them. That South American Stuart modernization was cool; a T-34 would work as an infantry support vehicle, etc.
Cant wait till this game gets more devs
Thank you for showing me this awesome piece of a game. Much appreciated Spook. I'm sure the developer will be happy about it too!
Nice, I'm glad just about everyone is making videos on this. I hope the guy gets enough money to really do something with this concept.
ty for the vid...interesting concept, and I hope the Dev goes far!
if the game gets PVP it's perfect !
I literally just saw Drae's video in recommended so i searched for others and you just uploaded. Can't think of a better coincidence
saw you in the discord pre-release and was expecting this; it really is a ton of fun
Happy to hear you'll do more content on it - I can't find anything other than joke builds on YT.
I got recommended a video with cursed tanks in this game when I was in bed going to sleep. I immediately went, turned on my pc, bought it and it's even better than I imagined. It's unbelievable this is being made by one guy. Easily worth the 20 dollars even now
this game is sick, just picked it up a few days ago after I watched Ash play it, not a ton a features right now but for only being in early alpha for a few days it is amazing
Thanks for showing me this.
Gonna look into this.
As soon as I saw your name in the discord, I knew this was coming. This game is going to be the next big thing in Tankery!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
This looks AMAZING
I didn't know it existed and ahhh I've been craving something like that!
Look forward to the content on this game!
Can't wait for that Spookston Sprocket content!
i like the "limitation" it lets you stay on track that it looks funktional and is more awesome if a cool design works well
An Adam Kovic inside gaming reference?
I see Spook is a man of culture
I am so glad that this game exists and I hope it continues growing
I had some tank designs in my head for about 4 years now, so with next paycheck, I'm buying this game! :-D
Sprocket gameplay from spookston WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Literally bought this as soon as I saw the video lol. Looks like SimplePlanes except tanks, which is right up my alley
I have never been so instantly hyped for a game as I have been when I first saw sprocket
Sprocket is funny wacky and has very slippery tracks
The latest updates make the tracks and suspension feel muuuuch better
You can hear his voice.... he's having fun. Its nice.
As soon as this game has oscillating turrets, this game will be in my library. I can't wait to make some oscillating turret monstrosity
I'm really looking forward to being able to share designs, and multi-player to test them
I wanna clap my friends who have no idea on tank design lmao I managed to make something that works. It made it through every scenario with minor modifications for different eras.
I think it would be a great idea for a series where you use this game to redesign tanks from the past to the current gen in a way you'd make them or go about with upgrading them.
Literally the day I find out about this game, Spookston makes a video about it.
Hope enough people will by so he can hire a little and make it a larger project. Seems to be a lot of fun
I've seen this game appearing all over the platform, it looks a load of fun and I've already sank 10+ hours into it over the past few days, hoping they add a modern era to the game as I think that'd be where I'd shine best with vehicle construction.
Ironically, the exact same moment I started installing this game, I get a notif about this video
That sportief away music at the end hits different every time
About time to make the perfect tank
Is a "perfect tank" even possible?
Having a lot of fun with this game!
Man, this looks fun
yup I bought it today and its so cool. The potential is massive
5 years later
Some sprocket nerd creates a top secret tank blueprints and get arrested of stealing plans for the m1a3 Abrams
WoT, WT, and other games: Exist
Sprocket: I'm gonna end this mans whole carrier
Cries in TTD
Can’t wait for you to make an hstv-l in Sprocket!
I discovered it lile...3 days ago. Super hyped to see where it goes.
I'm so hyped for this game but I'm on Mac so I will have to wait some time if the dev plans on releasing it for Mac and Linux in the future.
When I get the chance I’m getting this game. For a long time I’ve been looking for a game like this and I’m extremely happy
Oh my god, i actually made an entire custom fake nation tech tree, for a alternate history project i worked on, this is the perfect place to test these models thank you so much
Still not fully got my head around the engine and transmission yet but even with most of my tanks stalling on hills or blowing up their engine at anything more than walking pace it has been well worth the price already.
Another game that has a fun learning cliff is "From The Depths". It's originally a ship building game, but there's a campaign for ground units as well. I feel like it fits the theme close enough to comment here.
... and here i was actually exited about a video about Sprocket design...
The first thing I built was my take on a HSTV-L in sprocket. It looks good but doesn't perform too well though.
The second tank i made consists of super high angles everywhere with enough armor to withstand over 300mm of penetration all around. Means turret has 80° all around, the hull too. And with hull i even mean the sides. The only part penetrable is the backside.
Really a fun game!
Nice subnautica music. Very nice.
I did some sort of a mix between the IS-6 hull and the IS-7 turret and it's invincible from the front, it's a pretty good game
Ive been dreaming about this type of game for years😍😍😍
I have been having fun playing sprocket, first heard about it from ConeofArc, and its quite interesting. Can't wait for the future updates, especially when the guy fixes traction, cause its quite poor.
I was just playing automation and wanted a game like that with tanks. This is perfect.
i got this on day one as i was following it for quite some time, and ive noticed for most people, designs are either inspired by real life tanks, direct copys, or tanks that would fall under the sherman jumbo problem if they were added to warthunder
Attempt 25: Ju-288 Historically Accurate? I am so tired of playing ~5.0-6.0 and seeing those skinny phallic bombers, ruining the BR range for Axis.
The biggest issue with it is it's broken damage model, like with other broken premiums.
The issue is that there have only been something like 8 Ju 288s constructed and I wouldn't even be too sure how much data Gaijin actually got on the plane. It's very much possible that it's all just guess work when it comes to the performance of the plane.
lol skinny phallic bombers. Couldn't agree more they are ugly as sin.
Yeeee this game is awesome I saw it like 3 days ago and it was soo fun x3
The first scenario is kinda funny since it took me and my friend like hours to get the engine on point to not die in 20 meters xD
It's just amazing and I'm happy that you will play and do videos about it x3
Do you mind doing a guide for noobs about the engines cuse I still struggle with it xD?
I would like the feature of sharing designs and seeing which one would be the best. Like a contest between light, medium and heavy tanks individually to see which tank in that class is the best.
0:52 That's exactly why I bought it haha. I watched a few videos on it and saw someone say something similar and immediately bought it
Yeah, I'm loving Sprocket, made my favorite tank and improved upon it
The Nameless from Valkeria Chronicles
So far I made something that looks like an obese panzer IV but works so well, a red box that goes 60+ mph, and I took a Renault FT and turned it into a TOG II with mobility.
This kind of gives me a H3VR, or Dwarf Fortress type vibes. The whole 1 man dev team, making an ambitious game kind of deal.
I bought this game on a third day of release, and honestly? It sucked me in.
From the learning hours on what to do, to the challenges that increased my skill in design and understanding of mechanics and small details.
That is such a good game, and it just came out!
Despite some small glitches(like internal space sometimes changes values depending on the Scenario), I already love this game.
From what I'm seeing, I would say the customization and volume and weight ratio limit system of Sprocket seems to be a much more in depth and complex version of Warship Gunner where you can create warships using existing to fictional futuristic weapons and defensive and offensive systems and I love Warship Gunner so seeing this I am actually thinking of getting it and would probably enjoy it more than Warthunder
I absolutely love this game
Multiplayer is going to fun🤣lots of heavily and cured tank's. But I'll be picking this game up soon. I been waiting for something like this, hopefully someone will come out with a game, where you can design and build fighters and other military Aircrafts ( I know Simple Planes and KSP can do it, but I was looking for some like this and more detailed like build your own engines, radars etc etc and you can share them around, have a campaign where you have an aero company and build for countries. something similar to automation but fun).
Can’t wait for the multiplayer so that everyone can spam their “improved” leopard
just one guy and the traction model is better than the whole team at snail dev... amazing actually
*designs 90-ton MBT with WW2 tech like a boss*
Definitely getting this game
Here comes the Obligatory Spookston video on Sprocket
Finally :)
FUCK YEAH A SPOOKTEN VIDEO ON SPROCKET
What is Sprocket you ask Spookston? The coolest game ever.
something like: how the perfect tank would look like would be pretty cool
looks super interesting
