You should make an evolution tank based off of American tanks, going through all the missions and when you fail at a current one, you upgrade the tank to its needs. Also, use the appropriate American thinking of making tanks for the period, (like, in interwar and early war they had a lot of MGs on their tank.)
As you asked, does answer regeneration lead to different results - usually no, not really. There are some slight differences, mostly is generally text scheme. But in rare cases it can lead to completely different results, usually when its comes to a difficult non standard choice with unknown consequences. Fun fact, if you have few chats taliking about same thing, there is possibility of AI remembering general info. I guess example will explain much better: I had 4 chats where chatgpt acted as Ministers of imaginary country and that country had military operation against insurgents in the Middle East (i talked A LOT ABOUT IT inside the chats). Then i got kinda bored and created 5th chat and said that it is gonna be a leader of middle eastern country. And it wrote great bla-bla sh2t, political unrest in last years and international help for them- WAIT, it was literally saying about what it didn't know in this chat + pretty precisely (but generalized) said about what happened to country using info from previous chats, so it can kind of learn new info using chats so be careful fellas. P.s. I wrote this [BIG SHOT] at 0:33 am so im somewhat equal to an extremely drunk person.
Fun fact! Some mantlets such as the M10 mantlet and panther mantlet have built in gunner sights. That way you don't have to place a separate gunner sight.
That's how telescopic gun sights work, you don't have other option unless you know how to produce precise periscopic sights for gunner. Some tanks even had both telescopic and periscopic gun sight.
Gave it a go didn't tell it I was gonna make it in Sprocket just asked it to make a interwar tank that could be air lifted into combat, it should be able to take on light AT roles and anti inf roles and it'd come from Eastern Europe.

Length: Approximately 5.5 meters Width: Approximately 2.5 meters Height: Approximately 2.3 meters The Weight could be up to 10 tons and I ended up on 10.1 tons. Armor: Frontal armor: 20-30mm of rolled steel plates (to provide protection against light anti-tank weapons) Side armor: 15-20mm of rolled steel plates Rear armor: 10-15mm of rolled steel plates Top armor: 8-10mm of rolled steel plates (to protect against small arms fire and grenade fragments) I put a 50mm gun on it since that's what it said would be best for light AT and anti inf. for power it wanted 150-200 horsepower and for it to be able to get to 30-40km/h off road. crew was 3 to 4. It asked for this that I liked "Possibly equipped with special brackets or attachments to secure it within the glider during transport" In the end I ended up making something that looked a lot like a T-60.

I’ve only done it once, where I had a tank model called the M16L Harold, and the crew modified theirs into Harold of the End Times by adding appliqué armor, extra MGs, and some other accoutrements to make it their own.

Holy moly, dude went from tank designer, to tank designer pressed into service in the tank he designed. Side note: I am getting a ton of BT tank vibes from the rear view it the tank.
I really like the design, it reminded me of the M6 american heavy I'm french, and I thought of these names : M1938 Patriote Char Modèle 1938, to add the fact that this design may come from designs from the past (1936, 1937) or that influenced future designs created after the liberation of France (maybe to make a Char Modèle 1945). It also implies that the French had a single universal tank instead of IRL where they had the B1, the Somua S35, the H35, ect !
a nickname for the one with added on armor would be "Réservoir d'oignon" which quite literally means "Onion Tank" in french due to its "layers" of armor (the factory armor and the added on armor from the crew). its also totally not a reference to "song of the onion" a french marching song from the 1800s edit: Better name for the tank:"Char d' assault oignon", this is because Reservoir is used to store liquid, not an armored vehicle. But Char d' assault does mean tank.
If you did this again i feel like it would be interesting to do a tank for a nation with a constrained budget and relatively small military, something like the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, etc. so its not just generic good medium tank but more like a low cost but useable light tank/tankette
You were quite right about how you made the smoke system. The engine smoke system injects fuel into the exhaust gasses causing smoke to form. It is most common on diesel powered tanks since gasoline does not form thick smoke. I think in the case of your design the system would close off the exhaust ports and then inject fuel mist into the pipes as the exhaust gas travelled through them.
I absolutely loved it when you eventually went apeshit and just started doing random shit to the tank. Giving the tank you made personality like it was actually serving in the field was really awesome and satisfying to watch! This 2nd part doesn't disappoint!
I really do enjoy these sprocket videos, but please dont just become another sprocket youtuber. I really enjoy your just general tank information videos, especially things like your Sherman and stug variant videos. Overall, really enjoy you content, please keep it up.
Don't you worry, I do believe a core of my channel is that I don't make any single type of content. After this Sprocket AI series, there will be plenty of new things to come!
23:29 If you want, like your example, a design where speed and maneuverability can be sacrificed for more armor, specify that you want a heavy tank or something like that. I think the AI will figure out the concept of a heavy tank and interpret this correctly.
You could also try giving ChatGPT resource limits, like there's a shortage of steel/iron for armor so it now gives a weight limit based of the amount of steel needed, and perhaps to also ask it to generate other armored vehicles, like tank destroyers.
I asked chatGPT for a name, describing the tank and the era, specifing that I wanted a french name and it came up with this list: 1-Forteresse 2-Écu 3-Massif 4-Invincible 5-Bastion 6-Chevalier 7-Fidèle 8-Vaillant 9-Titan 10-Vigilant Out of these names, I think Chevalier is the best one, but what would be cool is to give a specified name for the unit, like you could actually see on french tanks, names of departments of france usualy, champagne, oise, ect. I think "Alsace" could go on the second version of the tank, it really works well.
Exhaust-based smoke screens are made through the injection of fuel (typically diesel) directly into the exhaust pipe to burn in and actually produce a thick smoke, you're designing smoke launchers which are used to allow a tank to retreat when it is coming under fire (they are typically on the turret facing forwards in a near 180 degree arc)
Early on it looked like a much larger BT-7 with an M6 bull or something. Then when you added the ammo, it looked like an M6 with less components for cost saving.
I believe exhaust based smoke is made by mixing oil or something into the engine and making white smoke that then goes out via the exhaust. Could be wrong tho
sounds about right. I hit something in the road once with my car and it caused transmission fluid getting into my fuel or something idk. anyways I was laying down thick white smoke screens with my car before and after the mechanic visit. It was really embarrassing actually lol
Hi! I really like this video concept, but I think you could go further with it, possibly asking for any flaws you could recreate, or asking the viewers what general idea of a tank they want, and then the AI moulds it into your creation. How's that? Possibly some prompts: Asian Self propelled artillery, Czech Resistance tankette, Finnish float tank (Like modern bmp floating and mobility) and so on. Thank you if you read this comment!
The outro is phenomenal ! For the name/nickname, I suggest : Albert Roche (french warhero), Le Sans Peur (i.e. Fearless, as it’s technically gone through all WW2 even if outdated), le cavalier (as medium tanks sort of fill the cavalry role) or Panhard EBA for engin blindé d’assaut (i.e. Assault armored vehicule), and Panhard is a tank manufacturer. You could could even designate it as the AMX-25, as it weights around 25 metric tons. Good luck !
IMO Meme break should become canon and a regular addition to your videos, doesn't matter where or how long or short, but a meme intermission is necessary!
Great intro! I have been following you since 7k subs and I love your channel. I hope you reach 20k soon, and then 50k. Then 100k after that. Keep up the concent! For someone as small as you, your content quality is amazing. Even for larger channels with 100k+ subs, your content is still high quality. Go get em champ!
It looks to me like a Somua. I'd say Somua S38, keeping in line with their naming conventions without intersecting with a real tank while also keeping to that 1938 model year.
I do appreciated it when creators really lean into the character and provided the entire storyline that goes along behind the scenes and explain every detail on why it was as it is. While it does give these builds more personality to go with, it is kinda easy to go overboard, especially with decorative parts. As crews only carry as the crews needed. Otherwise, this has been really cool video series idea. Can't wait for what features a tank from Medditerannean region would have, bet that would have similar design philosophy as the japanese due to Island-hopping part of it
Finally got chance to sit down and enjoy this video and wow! Two shoutouts and a whole bunch of my home-made weathered decals making the cut. I’m honoured! Very cool tank, might not be as effective as the previous one but feel far more believable and unique 👍 - also we don’t deserve your intros!
From what I understand, the exhaust smkoe system is the engine changing the fuel mixture in one or 2 cylinders or applying a heavily smoking mixture into the engine chamber, to make the engine smoke more.
Call it the “Char de Guerre Modèle 1938” basically translates to battle tank model 1938 keeps the intention of the AI but mixes it with the French that it’s been designed around. Similarly could be called the Panthère but it already specified the Latin panthera so that has less grounds for changing.
I would say a good tank name could be the Renault MT-1, 1938. The Medium Tank 1, model: 1938. A modernized version could be Renault MT-1 I. I for improved.
That tank is so cool. Love the story you gave it and I am so hyped to watch the next AI tank video. Please keep at the very friendly and chill vibes going, as I think that makes you very special in this genre
I really like the time you put in this and the crew personality modifications gives off mad max vibes. Definintly enjoyed this and the Ai interactions.
I just wanted to say that I really like your videos, I respect how humble you are and the fact that you never come off as a jerk when disproving something, I respect the hustle and I hope that you can continue to be an amazing jumping off point and source giver to this whole community, Thank you.
HE DID THE FUNNY! HE DID THE FUNNY GIVE HIM THE LIKE! But on a serious note amazing videos this is quite nice to see and honestly you could probably make a series off of this type of content. I really think you'd be able to make a nice series on having the AI give you limitations for all sorts of periods. Maybe give the tank a prompt to counter a certian tank like the T-55 or M46
Not gonna lie. I did copy your idea and did it myself. I did a tank based on Desert storm. The AI told me to pretty much make an Abrams. It was very interesting. This was a big brain idea!
Since you were saying that with every episode of these ChatGPT videos you get more and more able to work with the AI and know what you want to do, maybe make some this a series where you occasionally make tanks with different styles and from different ages. I'd like to see a Japanese tank, maybe a tiny Italian tankette, and even some sort of American tank destroyer or something!
Hello there mr Eat420. I would like to suggest that in the future you shorten the length of any funny autism sections to be around half as long as they were here, for example by cutting from one meme to the next quicker or just including fewer memes. This will help the zoomers in your audience to keep their 2 second attention span and also move the video along so the people interested in tanks don’t need to sit through as much of that. Keeping it under 10-15 seconds should do the trick. Other than that, great video bud, love your stuff.
16 minutes into the video, the tank is starting to remind me of the M6 heavy! Forward turret, chonky frontal hull, tall tracks, and L o n g. Loving the video, keep it up!
No way something like this would still be in front line service in '44. It's turret would be incased in concrete facing the ocean somewhere and the chassis would have been repurposed for something more useful like a prime mover or even a command vehicle.
I feel like to make this tank somewhat more historical in the whole decals from both French and British vehicles is that this was a free French tank that joined a British unit but kept the French decals to differentiate it from the other British tanks.
How about the name Pandore? Being french for Pandora. Pandora's box is a metaphor for something that brings about great troubles or misfortune, but also holds hope. This would maybe fit the aesthetic you have with an old sometime unreliable tank upgraded to help the increasingly desperate french people.
It would be interesting to see how ChatGPT handles a proposal for putting a naval main battery cannon on a tank ala the FV4005 and how it would shape the design around that. It would be interesting to see if it comes up with basically a casemate or assault gun or if it commits to the full turret. Also in regards to your comment about whether or not the AI would generate new information every time with the same prompt, the answer is yes. It’s like asking the same question to a person every time, the general information is the same, but the specifics can vary heavily.
For situations like 15:07, i highly recommend to turn off the global axis (yellow globe in the bottom left corner). That way you move objects in axis relative to their angle/position
Name: Adlerkampfwagen Class: Heavy Tank Purpose: The Adlerkampfwagen is designed to engage and destroy enemy tanks, fortifications, and other targets on the battlefield. It is intended to operate in a variety of terrain and weather conditions and to support ground operations as part of a larger military force. General Specifications: Weight: 60 tons Crew: 5 (commander, driver, gunner, two loaders) Length: 7.5m Width: 3.7m Height: 2.8m Maximum speed: 40 km/h Range: 200 km Armament: 1 x 105mm gun, 2 x 7.92mm machine guns Armor: 100mm thick Engine: V-12 diesel engine Suspension: torsion bar suspension Design Features: Sloped Armor: The Adlerkampfwagen features sloped armor that is 100mm thick at the front, providing protection against all but the most powerful enemy weapons. The sloped armor also helps to deflect incoming shells, reducing the effectiveness of enemy fire. Main Armament: The Adlerkampfwagen is equipped with a 105mm gun that can fire a variety of shells, including armor-piercing rounds and high-explosive shells. The gun has a long barrel, providing high muzzle velocity and accuracy at long ranges. Secondary Armament: The Adlerkampfwagen has two 7.92mm machine guns, one mounted coaxially with the main gun and the other mounted in a turret. Engine: The Adlerkampfwagen is powered by a V-12 diesel engine that provides high levels of power and efficiency. The engine is mounted at the rear of the tank, providing additional protection for the crew. Suspension: The Adlerkampfwagen uses torsion bar suspension that provides a smooth ride over rough terrain. The suspension system also helps to keep the tank stable when firing its weapons. Conclusion: [9:39 PM] The Adlerkampfwagen is a heavy tank design that incorporates features that were common for the time period. It has a strong focus on providing protection for the crew and engaging enemy tanks at long ranges. While this design may not be as advanced as some modern tank designs, it would have been a formidable weapon on the battlefield in 1941
If the Adlerkampfwagen was to be geared towards fighting against the United States in 1941, there are a few modifications that could be made to the design. First, the tank could be equipped with a gyroscopic stabilizer for the main gun, allowing it to fire accurately on the move. This would be useful against the fast-moving American tanks, such as the M3 Stuart and the upcoming M4 Sherman. Second, the armor could be increased to 120mm at the front and sides, providing greater protection against American anti-tank guns and other weapons. Additionally, the tank could be equipped with spaced armor, which involves adding additional plates of armor with an air gap in between. This would help to dissipate the energy of incoming rounds, further increasing the tank's survivability. Third, the tank could be equipped with a radio jammer and a smoke grenade launcher. The radio jammer would disrupt American communication and coordination, while the smoke grenade launcher would provide cover for the tank and its supporting infantry. Fourth, the tank could be designed to operate effectively in urban environments. American forces were expected to fight in cities in Europe, and a tank that could maneuver through narrow streets and buildings would be a valuable asset. Finally, the tank could be equipped with a flamethrower in addition to its main armament. The US Army had limited experience dealing with flamethrower-equipped tanks, and this weapon would be highly effective against enemy infantry in urban environments. Overall, these modifications would make the Adlerkampfwagen a formidable weapon against American forces in 1941. The tank's increased armor, gyroscopic stabilizer, and additional weapons would give it a significant advantage over American tanks and infantry, while its ability to operate in urban environments and disrupt communication and coordination would make it a valuable asset on the battlefield.
Maximum speed makes sense when you consider the tanks roles. saying 'we only want this to hit 30kph' means you can tune it more towards armor, gun, etc. if they said 'I want maximum or 60' random numbers, you'd be making a scout tank or a cruiser. if you can specify the max speed you want, you can make the tank change role more often then you think. if a Churchill could go 60kph, do you think it'd have as good armor as it's known for?
Well for the name what you could like the French take the first letter of the manufacturer and the year of production so that would make it the E38 and some letters could be added after like bis/ter or so on. The other option is also after manufacturer so AME38. Or the tanks role like they did AMC38/AMR38. And of course bis/ter is still welcome
In terms of model name of your tank design if you want that we give a bit of story to it, we can make it as prototype model that was suppose to be way more different from all previous french tanks. Thus making it a limited number of prototypes up to 22 (you'll see later what that specific number). Usually tank models are based acronyms of years, purpose, or the factory. I propose then a totally imaginary factory named : ALMENO for "ALliance MEtallurgique de NOrmandie" (Normandy Metallurgical Alliance). The layouts of the design are based on blueprints in the 1938. But since this design was more expensive and and needed more crew, the French Army wouldn't be interested that much to invest into it (money and WW1 general trauma). So the project of ALMENO was stopped. Until the war broke out in 1939, some drawbacks of other operated tanks were noticed. And the need of a new tank was absolute, at that time Renault come up with the B1 while ALMENO bring back his project up to date with some improvements on the engine. Both designs needed to be tested in the fields to see which would be the most valuable. ALMENO built up to 22 prototypes. As Renault brought the B1 bis in order to fix issues on the original design. Despite the efforts of ALMENO, the design was rejected in profit of the B1 bis of Renault. The protos are stored but later in 1940, the germans gain terrain over France, and all equipment available were commissionned. So are the ALMENO Char Prototype 38 or ALMENO CP 38. Each of the 22 prototypes are nicknamed as the 22 regions of France (Bretagne, Normandie, Provence, etc). Then the rest is up to your imagination ...
you could ask the AI to make a tank destroyer that sacrifices armor and a turret if you're lookin to get rid of certain traits to gain others, thanks for the great video
Here is a cool challenge i think. Ask the AI to give you specifications for a 1946 tank destroyer to kill tanks like the IS 3 and the Jagdtiger. Maybe even the maus if you want to go crazy.
Who wants to bet the 3rd design is just a weird sherman? Love the vids tho man keep it up! It would be funny tho Ps. You could ask the ai for all the specs of what it wants the tank to be like and do a building competition (say like putting the specs on the discord or somthing) and see what people build with the answers the ai provides
Possible lore with this tank: during the middle of WW2 the British began working with the French to design a new tank incorporating spare parts from early french heavies and the british churchill heavy.
I have a name suggestion, and let me explain it first. Like you said, the tank is based off of British/French designs like the Renault FT and the Churchill. Well, what if this was sort of the French version of what the Churchill was? And with the Churchill being named the way it was (not necessarily after Winston Churchill but still had the same name) maybe the tank could be called "De Gaulle" after the Free French Forces leader Charles De Gaulle? It's honestly up to you, but I'd think that would be a badass name
I'm so happy that leaf springs will be added after all. This is one of the most common suspension types on Interwar tanks and not having them in the game is just not ok.
to make the AI diversify tank requirements try to change something in the enemy description something like "the enemy has very powerful weapons" or "the enemy has a lot of armor" something like that
Another tank idea for the chat gpt could be to suggest a tank in 1944 going to a beach landing with shingles on the beach, meaning it’d need to be amphibious (submersible in shallow water, anything goes) and having to face tanks like the jagdpanther, panther, tiger h1 etc, since it’s 1944 it could be a tank from Britain, America or any allied nation for the beach landing (if this idea does go to fruition hopefully it doesn’t have the same casualty rates for the m4 Sherman during Normandy landings). Amazing job anyway for the tanks being created, just suggesting a potential idea for a future project using chat gpt to make a tank for sprocket
Idea for the name, R.38 based off of the Czechoslovakian LT vz 38 after a short collaboration between the two designers as they looks similar yet not the same. Story could go that after a fallout over armour and firepower the two went their separate ways, the Czechs going on to make the 38 and the French wanting a more multi purpose vehicle for both anti infantry, anti tank and anti emplacement, settled with the 75mm and armour similar to the B1 and C2. For the later war variant created, after the defeat of France, the remaining R.38s not captured or destroyed were sent to Britain where crews there knicknamed them the Jack and Valent, Jack because of its all rounder capabilities yet being a master in none, Valent being derived from the French word Polyvalent meaning multi purpose.
I think you should try this prompt next with a scenario in 1945, the very end of WW2. I wonder what sort of things would change now that it would be more of a offensive situation rather than defensive.
leaf spring suspension will be such a great addition, will make my hungarian Turán tanks more accurate, currently i have to use fenders and storage boxes to resemble the suspension recently i had a series of vehicles i wanted to make in sprocket, hungarian tanks (as a hungarian i had to make them and since they are not well known it was a challenge), i made most of the medium, heavy and tank destroyers (i made 41M Turán I, 42M Turán II, 44M Zrínyi I, 43M Zrínyi II and 44M Tas), still need to make light tanks and heavy tank destroyer and i have a "challenge" for you, make these not well known tanks and make them as accurate as you can
I'm basically a movie director at this point with that intro

Side armor: 15-20mm of rolled steel plates
Rear armor: 10-15mm of rolled steel plates
Top armor: 8-10mm of rolled steel plates (to protect against small arms fire and grenade fragments)
I put a 50mm gun on it since that's what it said would be best for light AT and anti inf.
for power it wanted 150-200 horsepower and for it to be able to get to 30-40km/h off road.
crew was 3 to 4.
It asked for this that I liked "Possibly equipped with special brackets or attachments to secure it within the glider during transport"
In the end I ended up making something that looked a lot like a T-60.
DO DIS
If you want to go really extreme, tell it to build a lighter “tank” (tankette) then the l3/33 (prob CC)
I feel like for the tank that's been modified by the crew it would be nicknamed the Marauder.

It is most common on diesel powered tanks since gasoline does not form thick smoke. I think in the case of your design the system would close off the exhaust ports and then inject fuel mist into the pipes as the exhaust gas travelled through them.
Also, pls post all 3 of the designs. I love these!!!
I absolutely loved it when you eventually went apeshit and just started doing random shit to the tank. Giving the tank you made personality like it was actually serving in the field was really awesome and satisfying to watch! This 2nd part doesn't disappoint!
I really do enjoy these sprocket videos, but please dont just become another sprocket youtuber. I really enjoy your just general tank information videos, especially things like your Sherman and stug variant videos. Overall, really enjoy you content, please keep it up.
Don't you worry, I do believe a core of my channel is that I don't make any single type of content. After this Sprocket AI series, there will be plenty of new things to come!
@@eta320 will you make a Cromwell family video?
23:29 If you want, like your example, a design where speed and maneuverability can be sacrificed for more armor, specify that you want a heavy tank or something like that. I think the AI will figure out the concept of a heavy tank and interpret this correctly.
Ngl man whenever I start getting in my feels I just throw on an ETA 320 vid and it always helps me out. Keep it up my man
Thanks so much, that means a lot. I wish you the best always
At the part where gpt gave you the name "Panthera" and explained it, I 100% expected that to be a case of Chat GPT just making shit up.
"I was there, subscribed"
Cmon guys let's support this man
You could also try giving ChatGPT resource limits, like there's a shortage of steel/iron for armor so it now gives a weight limit based of the amount of steel needed, and perhaps to also ask it to generate other armored vehicles, like tank destroyers.
I asked chatGPT for a name, describing the tank and the era, specifing that I wanted a french name and it came up with this list:
1-Forteresse
2-Écu
3-Massif
4-Invincible
5-Bastion
6-Chevalier
7-Fidèle
8-Vaillant
9-Titan
10-Vigilant
Out of these names, I think Chevalier is the best one, but what would be cool is to give a specified name for the unit, like you could actually see on french tanks, names of departments of france usualy, champagne, oise, ect. I think "Alsace" could go on the second version of the tank, it really works well.
Exhaust-based smoke screens are made through the injection of fuel (typically diesel) directly into the exhaust pipe to burn in and actually produce a thick smoke, you're designing smoke launchers which are used to allow a tank to retreat when it is coming under fire (they are typically on the turret facing forwards in a near 180 degree arc)
Early on it looked like a much larger BT-7 with an M6 bull or something. Then when you added the ammo, it looked like an M6 with less components for cost saving.
I WAS NOT expecting the burger King ad, top tier tank, top tier meme, top tier skinny chest :)
I believe exhaust based smoke is made by mixing oil or something into the engine and making white smoke that then goes out via the exhaust. Could be wrong tho
sounds about right. I hit something in the road once with my car and it caused transmission fluid getting into my fuel or something idk. anyways I was laying down thick white smoke screens with my car before and after the mechanic visit. It was really embarrassing actually lol
Hey, Part 1 is how I found your channel, having watch most of the content on your channel, can't wait for more :) keep up the grind :D
Hi! I really like this video concept, but I think you could go further with it, possibly asking for any flaws you could recreate, or asking the viewers what general idea of a tank they want, and then the AI moulds it into your creation. How's that? Possibly some prompts: Asian Self propelled artillery, Czech Resistance tankette, Finnish float tank (Like modern bmp floating and mobility) and so on. Thank you if you read this comment!
The outro is phenomenal ! For the name/nickname, I suggest : Albert Roche (french warhero), Le Sans Peur (i.e. Fearless, as it’s technically gone through all WW2 even if outdated), le cavalier (as medium tanks sort of fill the cavalry role) or Panhard EBA for engin blindé d’assaut (i.e. Assault armored vehicule), and Panhard is a tank manufacturer. You could could even designate it as the AMX-25, as it weights around 25 metric tons.
Good luck !
Liking the Bonple logo behind you!
IMO Meme break should become canon and a regular addition to your videos, doesn't matter where or how long or short, but a meme intermission is necessary!
Ive been super excited for this video to release! You've gained a new fan :)
Ngl your criminally Underrated
Great intro!
I have been following you since 7k subs and I love your channel. I hope you reach 20k soon, and then 50k. Then 100k after that.
Keep up the concent! For someone as small as you, your content quality is amazing. Even for larger channels with 100k+ subs, your content is still high quality.
Go get em champ!
Let’s Goooo, I’ve been waiting for this, Eta you are one of the most human UA-camrs, love your stuff
Yes. I am Human. Thank you for recognizing this, its something I really strive for.
@@eta320 Chat gpt entered the chat
It looks to me like a Somua. I'd say Somua S38, keeping in line with their naming conventions without intersecting with a real tank while also keeping to that 1938 model year.
I do appreciated it when creators really lean into the character and provided the entire storyline that goes along behind the scenes and explain every detail on why it was as it is. While it does give these builds more personality to go with, it is kinda easy to go overboard, especially with decorative parts. As crews only carry as the crews needed.
Otherwise, this has been really cool video series idea. Can't wait for what features a tank from Medditerannean region would have, bet that would have similar design philosophy as the japanese due to Island-hopping part of it
Finally got chance to sit down and enjoy this video and wow! Two shoutouts and a whole bunch of my home-made weathered decals making the cut. I’m honoured! Very cool tank, might not be as effective as the previous one but feel far more believable and unique 👍 - also we don’t deserve your intros!
yo Eta nice stuff 737 views in an hour this series is blowing up keep up the work
From what I understand, the exhaust smkoe system is the engine changing the fuel mixture in one or 2 cylinders or applying a heavily smoking mixture into the engine chamber, to make the engine smoke more.
Call it the “Char de Guerre Modèle 1938” basically translates to battle tank model 1938 keeps the intention of the AI but mixes it with the French that it’s been designed around. Similarly could be called the Panthère but it already specified the Latin panthera so that has less grounds for changing.
I would say a good tank name could be the Renault MT-1, 1938. The Medium Tank 1, model: 1938. A modernized version could be Renault MT-1 I. I for improved.
The extra details and grime, the design overall. I love this tank. Good job on this design.
That tank is so cool. Love the story you gave it and I am so hyped to watch the next AI tank video. Please keep at the very friendly and chill vibes going, as I think that makes you very special in this genre
I really like the time you put in this and the crew personality modifications gives off mad max vibes. Definintly enjoyed this and the Ai interactions.
I just wanted to say that I really like your videos, I respect how humble you are and the fact that you never come off as a jerk when disproving something, I respect the hustle and I hope that you can continue to be an amazing jumping off point and source giver to this whole community, Thank you.
HE DID THE FUNNY! HE DID THE FUNNY GIVE HIM THE LIKE!
But on a serious note amazing videos this is quite nice to see and honestly you could probably make a series off of this type of content. I really think you'd be able to make a nice series on having the AI give you limitations for all sorts of periods. Maybe give the tank a prompt to counter a certian tank like the T-55 or M46
Not gonna lie. I did copy your idea and did it myself. I did a tank based on Desert storm. The AI told me to pretty much make an Abrams. It was very interesting.
This was a big brain idea!
Absolutely LOVE this build. I can totally tell that you were getting into a rhythm in this one
Since you were saying that with every episode of these ChatGPT videos you get more and more able to work with the AI and know what you want to do, maybe make some this a series where you occasionally make tanks with different styles and from different ages. I'd like to see a Japanese tank, maybe a tiny Italian tankette, and even some sort of American tank destroyer or something!
Best spockert video ever seen!! love the decoration
Hello there mr Eat420. I would like to suggest that in the future you shorten the length of any funny autism sections to be around half as long as they were here, for example by cutting from one meme to the next quicker or just including fewer memes. This will help the zoomers in your audience to keep their 2 second attention span and also move the video along so the people interested in tanks don’t need to sit through as much of that. Keeping it under 10-15 seconds should do the trick. Other than that, great video bud, love your stuff.
I love how this turned out. The decritives really bring it together :]
WOW that was some fast growth dude! Awesome work!
Okay, I know you're going for a British/French hybrid design, but I can't stop seeing a Matilda had a baby with the American M6 heavy.
I've been watching your stuff for a while now and I love it! You should consider making a Patreon!
Great video and great channel! Can't wait for the last tank design.
Just subbed! Greetings from Poland!
The exhaust deployment smoke works via applying diesel fuel to the hot exhaust pipes. Thus, creating a thick cloud of smoke
16 minutes into the video, the tank is starting to remind me of the M6 heavy! Forward turret, chonky frontal hull, tall tracks, and L o n g. Loving the video, keep it up!
No way something like this would still be in front line service in '44. It's turret would be incased in concrete facing the ocean somewhere and the chassis would have been repurposed for something more useful like a prime mover or even a command vehicle.
Your tank looks like M6/Churchill/Sherman and i love it
Really enjoying these sprocket videos!
I do agree with 3:37 . Eta is very handsome indeed.
My name idea would be Montagne(Mountain in French)as Mountains can represent defence and strength and defiance against a powerful foe
Keep up the work, I loved the intro
Good to see you growing been watching for a bit now
I’ve been watching you for a while and it feels nice seeing you get recognition, I hope you will grow more and more
Interesting concept, would like to see more of it
Overall, the M1938 Panthera looks really cool! And as far as names are concerned, I'd give the weathered one a name unique to that specific unit.
Good video mate! It looks like a matilda british tank with a french mix, anyway keep it up we always wait your videos
I feel like to make this tank somewhat more historical in the whole decals from both French and British vehicles is that this was a free French tank that joined a British unit but kept the French decals to differentiate it from the other British tanks.
for some reason reminsd me of a comet, great video as usual!
The French name for this tank will be Coucher de soleil or Destructeur
How about the name Pandore?
Being french for Pandora.
Pandora's box is a metaphor for something that brings about great troubles or misfortune, but also holds hope.
This would maybe fit the aesthetic you have with an old sometime unreliable tank upgraded to help the increasingly desperate french people.
I recently discovered your channel and have been watching your videos constantly
And I can safely say that you have a big future, top tier content
It would be interesting to see how ChatGPT handles a proposal for putting a naval main battery cannon on a tank ala the FV4005 and how it would shape the design around that. It would be interesting to see if it comes up with basically a casemate or assault gun or if it commits to the full turret.
Also in regards to your comment about whether or not the AI would generate new information every time with the same prompt, the answer is yes. It’s like asking the same question to a person every time, the general information is the same, but the specifics can vary heavily.
“Wasn’t performing as well as I had hoped.” Yep sounds like a French tank from world war 2
For situations like 15:07, i highly recommend to turn off the global axis (yellow globe in the bottom left corner). That way you move objects in axis relative to their angle/position
Name: Adlerkampfwagen
Class: Heavy Tank
Purpose: The Adlerkampfwagen is designed to engage and destroy enemy tanks, fortifications, and other targets on the battlefield. It is intended to operate in a variety of terrain and weather conditions and to support ground operations as part of a larger military force.
General Specifications:
Weight: 60 tons
Crew: 5 (commander, driver, gunner, two loaders)
Length: 7.5m
Width: 3.7m
Height: 2.8m
Maximum speed: 40 km/h
Range: 200 km
Armament: 1 x 105mm gun, 2 x 7.92mm machine guns
Armor: 100mm thick
Engine: V-12 diesel engine
Suspension: torsion bar suspension
Design Features:
Sloped Armor: The Adlerkampfwagen features sloped armor that is 100mm thick at the front, providing protection against all but the most powerful enemy weapons. The sloped armor also helps to deflect incoming shells, reducing the effectiveness of enemy fire.
Main Armament: The Adlerkampfwagen is equipped with a 105mm gun that can fire a variety of shells, including armor-piercing rounds and high-explosive shells. The gun has a long barrel, providing high muzzle velocity and accuracy at long ranges.
Secondary Armament: The Adlerkampfwagen has two 7.92mm machine guns, one mounted coaxially with the main gun and the other mounted in a turret.
Engine: The Adlerkampfwagen is powered by a V-12 diesel engine that provides high levels of power and efficiency. The engine is mounted at the rear of the tank, providing additional protection for the crew.
Suspension: The Adlerkampfwagen uses torsion bar suspension that provides a smooth ride over rough terrain. The suspension system also helps to keep the tank stable when firing its weapons.
Conclusion:
[9:39 PM]
The Adlerkampfwagen is a heavy tank design that incorporates features that were common for the time period. It has a strong focus on providing protection for the crew and engaging enemy tanks at long ranges. While this design may not be as advanced as some modern tank designs, it would have been a formidable weapon on the battlefield in 1941
If the Adlerkampfwagen was to be geared towards fighting against the United States in 1941, there are a few modifications that could be made to the design.
First, the tank could be equipped with a gyroscopic stabilizer for the main gun, allowing it to fire accurately on the move. This would be useful against the fast-moving American tanks, such as the M3 Stuart and the upcoming M4 Sherman.
Second, the armor could be increased to 120mm at the front and sides, providing greater protection against American anti-tank guns and other weapons. Additionally, the tank could be equipped with spaced armor, which involves adding additional plates of armor with an air gap in between. This would help to dissipate the energy of incoming rounds, further increasing the tank's survivability.
Third, the tank could be equipped with a radio jammer and a smoke grenade launcher. The radio jammer would disrupt American communication and coordination, while the smoke grenade launcher would provide cover for the tank and its supporting infantry.
Fourth, the tank could be designed to operate effectively in urban environments. American forces were expected to fight in cities in Europe, and a tank that could maneuver through narrow streets and buildings would be a valuable asset.
Finally, the tank could be equipped with a flamethrower in addition to its main armament. The US Army had limited experience dealing with flamethrower-equipped tanks, and this weapon would be highly effective against enemy infantry in urban environments.
Overall, these modifications would make the Adlerkampfwagen a formidable weapon against American forces in 1941. The tank's increased armor, gyroscopic stabilizer, and additional weapons would give it a significant advantage over American tanks and infantry, while its ability to operate in urban environments and disrupt communication and coordination would make it a valuable asset on the battlefield.
Maximum speed makes sense when you consider the tanks roles.
saying 'we only want this to hit 30kph' means you can tune it more towards armor, gun, etc. if they said 'I want maximum or 60' random numbers, you'd be making a scout tank or a cruiser.
if you can specify the max speed you want, you can make the tank change role more often then you think. if a Churchill could go 60kph, do you think it'd have as good armor as it's known for?
Amazing video as always eta320!!
Can you make a video on the IS 7 next?
Well for the name what you could like the French take the first letter of the manufacturer and the year of production so that would make it the E38 and some letters could be added after like bis/ter or so on. The other option is also after manufacturer so AME38. Or the tanks role like they did AMC38/AMR38. And of course bis/ter is still welcome
In terms of model name of your tank design if you want that we give a bit of story to it, we can make it as prototype model that was suppose to be way more different from all previous french tanks. Thus making it a limited number of prototypes up to 22 (you'll see later what that specific number).
Usually tank models are based acronyms of years, purpose, or the factory. I propose then a totally imaginary factory named : ALMENO for "ALliance MEtallurgique de NOrmandie" (Normandy Metallurgical Alliance).
The layouts of the design are based on blueprints in the 1938. But since this design was more expensive and and needed more crew, the French Army wouldn't be interested that much to invest into it (money and WW1 general trauma). So the project of ALMENO was stopped.
Until the war broke out in 1939, some drawbacks of other operated tanks were noticed. And the need of a new tank was absolute, at that time Renault come up with the B1 while ALMENO bring back his project up to date with some improvements on the engine. Both designs needed to be tested in the fields to see which would be the most valuable.
ALMENO built up to 22 prototypes. As Renault brought the B1 bis in order to fix issues on the original design. Despite the efforts of ALMENO, the design was rejected in profit of the B1 bis of Renault.
The protos are stored but later in 1940, the germans gain terrain over France, and all equipment available were commissionned. So are the ALMENO Char Prototype 38 or ALMENO CP 38. Each of the 22 prototypes are nicknamed as the 22 regions of France (Bretagne, Normandie, Provence, etc).
Then the rest is up to your imagination ...
I like it. It looks French and British. Great job. Also, the M10 gun in '38 would be OP
you could ask the AI to make a tank destroyer that sacrifices armor and a turret if you're lookin to get rid of certain traits to gain others, thanks for the great video
Here is a cool challenge i think. Ask the AI to give you specifications for a 1946 tank destroyer to kill tanks like the IS 3 and the Jagdtiger. Maybe even the maus if you want to go crazy.
well this one reminds me Renault G1 from world of tanks while it has churchill track protection but cool design and fun video!
Who wants to bet the 3rd design is just a weird sherman?
Love the vids tho man keep it up!
It would be funny tho
Ps. You could ask the ai for all the specs of what it wants the tank to be like and do a building competition (say like putting the specs on the discord or somthing) and see what people build with the answers the ai provides
Possible lore with this tank: during the middle of WW2 the British began working with the French to design a new tank incorporating spare parts from early french heavies and the british churchill heavy.
That's just a Matilda hull with a P40 turret and gun.
I have a name suggestion, and let me explain it first.
Like you said, the tank is based off of British/French designs like the Renault FT and the Churchill. Well, what if this was sort of the French version of what the Churchill was? And with the Churchill being named the way it was (not necessarily after Winston Churchill but still had the same name) maybe the tank could be called "De Gaulle" after the Free French Forces leader Charles De Gaulle? It's honestly up to you, but I'd think that would be a badass name
I'm so happy that leaf springs will be added after all. This is one of the most common suspension types on Interwar tanks and not having them in the game is just not ok.
to make the AI diversify tank requirements try to change something in the enemy description
something like "the enemy has very powerful weapons" or "the enemy has a lot of armor" something like that
This is the vid that made me aware of your existence
Another tank idea for the chat gpt could be to suggest a tank in 1944 going to a beach landing with shingles on the beach, meaning it’d need to be amphibious (submersible in shallow water, anything goes) and having to face tanks like the jagdpanther, panther, tiger h1 etc, since it’s 1944 it could be a tank from Britain, America or any allied nation for the beach landing (if this idea does go to fruition hopefully it doesn’t have the same casualty rates for the m4 Sherman during Normandy landings). Amazing job anyway for the tanks being created, just suggesting a potential idea for a future project using chat gpt to make a tank for sprocket
I love the look of this one, I wish Cobi had a model of it or something, it’s just so neat.
Fun fact: If you went back on 1812 and showed this to napoleon, he would think you were a alien.
Here’s a challenge: make a tank you think the Philippines would make during world war two if given the materials
Idea for the name, R.38 based off of the Czechoslovakian LT vz 38 after a short collaboration between the two designers as they looks similar yet not the same. Story could go that after a fallout over armour and firepower the two went their separate ways, the Czechs going on to make the 38 and the French wanting a more multi purpose vehicle for both anti infantry, anti tank and anti emplacement, settled with the 75mm and armour similar to the B1 and C2.
For the later war variant created, after the defeat of France, the remaining R.38s not captured or destroyed were sent to Britain where crews there knicknamed them the Jack and Valent, Jack because of its all rounder capabilities yet being a master in none, Valent being derived from the French word Polyvalent meaning multi purpose.
Excellent video, can't wait to see the next one!
I think you should try this prompt next with a scenario in 1945, the very end of WW2. I wonder what sort of things would change now that it would be more of a offensive situation rather than defensive.
leaf spring suspension will be such a great addition, will make my hungarian Turán tanks more accurate, currently i have to use fenders and storage boxes to resemble the suspension
recently i had a series of vehicles i wanted to make in sprocket, hungarian tanks (as a hungarian i had to make them and since they are not well known it was a challenge), i made most of the medium, heavy and tank destroyers (i made 41M Turán I, 42M Turán II, 44M Zrínyi I, 43M Zrínyi II and 44M Tas), still need to make light tanks and heavy tank destroyer
and i have a "challenge" for you, make these not well known tanks and make them as accurate as you can
