The criteria changed between them accepting your concept and requesting actual vehicles cause the military is indecisive? Man, this really is realistic

Rimmy: This game almost wants you to mass produce before the contract is accepted Porsche: Mumbling incoherently

*HH:* "We can build the tank to your specifications, and all we'll need is a month." *Hugh Jamieson:* "We don't have that long. Do you have any tanks we can have now?" *HH:* "Uh...technically yes, but it doesn't really do what you want..?" *Hugh Jamieson:* "We'll take them. I also assume they'll be useful against enemy armor?" *HH:* "Their firepower is centered almost entirely around machine guns, so obviously-" *Hugh Jamieson:* "Yes! Very good, we'll need 20 in a month, and if you don't send them all, we get all of our money back." *HH:* "Wait wha-" *Hugh Jamieson:* "Also, you better get started on those tanks today, because the domestic saboteurs will probably knock a few out with some bombs. Good luck, old chap!" *HH:* "..." *???:* "HELLO, mein name is Archipald Smithzon, und I am fery Hinterested in puying zee zecrets of tank puilting from mein fellow Englisch." *HH:* "..go on."

"There is no creativity in this factory, we will be as basic as possible and make a tank the British will want to buy" -design brief for the Tog 2, probably.

"I think you should be able to tell people that your tank shouldn't be used against other tanks" I'm pretty sure the reason they pitted that MG tank up against other tanks was because you got a contract that lists them as HEAVY ASSAULT TANKS lmao

"There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other eleven?"

Great video: That’s an old-school British 2-part chemical fire-extinguisher at 4:04 : you smack the base on the ground, or on a wall, and it pushes up a pin and shatters a glass vial inside, allowing two chemicals to mix and make fire-retardant foam: the cone shape then forces the expanding foam out the tip at the other end like you're icing a cake.

Rimmy seeing a bayonet on a light machine gun : "i was quite concerned" Imperial japanese army : *confused looks

Actually, this is a pretty accurate depiction of the WW1 Tank Developement and Procurement and use. And yes, salvaging enemy tanks is a time honored tradition.

"There is no creativity allowed in this factory" - Adeptus Mechanicus

I love the fact that the only surviving A7V tank is in Australia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephisto_(tank)

“your father disappeared mysteriously and you’ve inherited his assets” bro I think you killed your dad

Yeah, the demo is cool but honestly more of a proof-of-concept than anything playable viable. Even at my best, the delivery routines and expectations are nearly impossible to meet with anything reasonable. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see more of what they have in mind but this needs polish to be a viable product for market.

Well, with all the chaos the Cadian XXth cause, it only makes sense he'd go into the Tank Trade. Guaranteed income for the rest of time. They flip stationary tanks! Cha-Ching!

Rimmy is Iron man confirmed

Although rough around the edges this game has huge potential

Cool little game, I don't know why but the menus with the characters just hanging out in the workshops is giving me crazy nostalgia. Looking forward to seeing this get more features

I wonder if the sending an anti-infantry tank against other tanks was partially because you submitted it to role it wasn't a good fit for; equally, in war, you don't always get to pick your targets, it's entirely possible your MG-nest on treads was the best thing they had in the battle for trying to take out an enemy tank, as sad as that may be.

0:49 "After your father's sudden disappearance, you, as a rightful heir, will gain control of all his assets." "Yes, sudden and tragic disappearance. Luckily we don't have to worry about anyone finding him."

I was conceived in a Ratty Tatty Mk1, I was named after what the crew had named that specific tank. True Story.

jesus christ rimmy you have single handly supplied the german empire with enough tanks to win the war.

This game is unbelievable harsh from what I've seen of your gameplay Rimmy. If the starting date of this game was set after the first world war, then I think it be more interesting. I've also had a dreadful thought. What if they did this same game, but with guns, air planes of ships. Oh boy what the heck!

I really like that demo's seem to be making a comeback

agreed, this game is so punishing to the point of causing gameplay issues. Not being able to make the set time of the contract has been the downfall of every one of my tank businesses. They just don't make realistic or gameplay sense as it takes longer and more resources to build enough tanks to supply the contract than you have workers or resource storage for. And the amount of money you get screwed over for not delivering tanks is so high that by not completing 1 contract I'm instantly bankrupt. I actually complained that this was a bug in the discord, but it was actually just really hard gameplay. It's best to build cavalry tanks and sell them off to GB because they cost little to produce and have 3 contracts for their supply.

Great video Rimmy but you've been hit....I can no longer see the dislikes.

Sounds like an interesting game. The graphics are great, it's gonna come down to whether people will like the systems. Obviously this game ain't everyone's cup a tea but let's hope that those who do like these kinds of games enjoy it. That or people just Monster Factory some tanks and see how they do.

I love the strategy of just, MACHINE GUNS, and somehow you did destroy 4 tanks with just Lewis guns

The "basic stud" was indeed the definition of "I didn't hear no bell!" And the definition of "tanky". The crew were probably saying "Oh shit, we've been shot. But hey, its still running, so we'll keep advancing." Or the steering broke and they couldnt go in reverse.

Welcome to Manufacturing Rimmy, where schedules are shit, the customers are assholes, and supply is always scarce...and in the end it's always your fault

I’m surprised they actually did their research as that fire extinguisher is historically accurate. A fun fact is that in the game Battlefield 1, you can briefly see a mechanic on an airship using one to put out a fire. Another fact that isn’t as fun is that fire extinguishers from this period used Carbon Tetrachloride, which if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, will cause kidney and liver damage and prolonged exposure may lead to cancer, coma or death.

13:08 reminds me of that time the F-104 (an interceptor) got sold as a ground attack plane to the germans

If they ever add Japanese tank design, you'll find out that bayonets and stripper clip hoppers are the future of light machine guns for tanks Rimmy

"Never in the real world would they say ' We need an entire regiments worth of tanks in 30 days'" My friend you must not know much about the world of Military Acquisitions *Laughs to hide the pain*

The fire extinguisher pictured I believe was built around that nub being struck on the wall or ground and would break a vial inside or something to create a chemical reaction pushing out chemicals to kill the fire

>Enter weapon into the british army >Don't expect to win >It wins handily > "Oh crap now I need to build more." But enough about the L96A1.

Seems really cool! Might be worth checking out after they do some serious balancing work and add more stuff.

I love the ideas this game has got going on. Interesting proof of concept I'm excited to see where the development team go

Actually, in 4:05 if you don't attack on sight or aren't spotted yet in the airplane mission in Battlefield 1(specifically the mission where you jump onto a blimp), you can see how these fire extinguishers were used. It's like they're pumping water that's inside

My face when Rimmy can set the deadline, and he doesn't pay attention to when he actually set it, he just picked a random date xD

this is a childhood dream!! I can't wait fr the astra militarum mods

Rimmy, you may like the game Evil Bank Manager. It's a game about making money, bankrupting other banks, influencing wars and eventually becoming ruler of the world through money.

I always had a soft spot or the A7V tank since we have Mephisto at our museum here in Brissie! XD

I really want them to add an easy mode (I know thats heresy) or at least have the game be easy in the beginning to allow players to get used to and understand the mechanics.

Can't belive you made a British tank and didn't call it tanky McTank face

I hope this becomes more than just replicating existing tanks. Would be nice to make a frankensiten tank with parts from differnent nations. I want to make the tzar tank or smk work, somehow. Also would be nice to do stuff like replace the lewis gun with another cannon, just because.

(Rimmy confused and surprised his design was accepted) Me: Well maybe because you promise to deliver them 2 days after the contract is accepted?

2:53 "Tanks! Affix bayonets! CHAAAAARGE!"

Dang. I was hoping you were going to become a Merchant of Menace. Don't know if you remember the Mercenaries games from the unfortunately named Pandemic Studios but the Mafia, who ran all the guns to the north korean warzone had a website you accessed from your phone called Merchant of Menace

This game: Me: “We shall watch your career with great interest.”

"Did they steal our tanks?" *Beutepanzer intensifies*

this game looks sick, can't wait for when it releases

13:33 Sounds like IRL tank design tbh.

No Step Back DLC for HOI4 is so popular that people made a game based around the tank designer.

"Now I am become the Merchant of Death, The Shatterer of Worlds."

0:18 far right, that's the MK1 heavy water tank

Believe it or not, the first tank battle resulted in no one losing their tanks, the German's got scared and retreated.

Ive been watching this game for a year, happy to see it being noticed

I know it makes no sense but let's be honest putting a bayonet on a tank would be so freaking cool.

0:13 All the other nations: WWI/II era tanks US: *modern M1A1 Abrams* Me: _"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............."_

When the Basic Stud resists multiple cannon hits and continues charging towards the enemy: **Steel Commanders intensifies**

13:14 a game that EXPECTS you to play like Ferdinand Porsche? (Without the slavery) That's odd.

In the first tank battle British machine gun tanks fought A7Vs and one of the a7Vs prioritized using its machine guns over cannons so the game isn’t doing anything wrong at this point in time tank on tank battles basically didn’t ever happen since the Germans only made 20 A7Vs in total so when tanks stumbled into each other they used what weapons they had.

This looks awesome, would love to see more of this game!

1:06 Run 1? _Oh No._

After about 5 years of no pfp change I didn't think this was an actual post from Rummy for a solid minute

There's no real choice in the game besides going the set path or going bankrupt and loosing the game. Early game tank design is too linear but hey it's a demo, cannot wait to see Rimmy do a playthrough!

If you could supply multiple countries, imagine giving one side bad tanks and the other brilliant ones.

That is not an escape hatch it is a bait leading to false hope and despair. Quickly freddie use the escape hatch. Feddie: I would but it just leads to capture again.

def will love to see you do more on this

I've been waiting for this game, for ages. I really hope it's a success

finally! a good tank designer game! with large customization and battles mixed with it! THE PERFECT GAME FOR ME!

would love to see more of this game at some point

0:44 Koko Hekmatyar and HCLI are the names I would've chosen.

Would love to see more of this game

This was fun. Keeping my eye on this game now.

The best weapon is the weapon you only have to fire once

I'd love to see more of this

The issue with the weight difference between the concept and the actual contracts should have been fixed in today's patch

It fights because there is no ammo to blow up, and can’t lose much crew to cannons

Rimmy: good tactician Also rimmy: bad manager

This, this was a game I was waiting on

The military doesn't know what they want unless you show it to them..... And then after spending 3/4 of you're company's net worth, they dont want it😤😤😤

Looks cool. I'm really curious how it will be.

Mass producing tanks before they get tested just like Porsche

Rimmy we have one of those fire extinguishers lying out in the wood. It is Victorian/Georgian with a powder that it pressurises ou.

Wow, never been this early on a vid before. And on a game I've been looking at? Niiice!

The germans: whit dis resistance we gona conquer paris in a week

the British tank looks like its has the roof of a mark I (male) heavy tank with the body and guns of a mark III (female) heavy tank, strange choice. the U.S tank is definitely either an M1 or M1A1 abrams and not an M1A2 as the tank lacks the TUSK upgrade package. M1A2 would have a rectangular brick mounted to the sides of the vehicle called the abrams reactive armor tiles, a visible 12.7 mm remote weapon turret on top, and a loader's armor gun shield on top, a tank/infantry telephone, a loader's thermal sight with thermal goggles and thermal sight components, collectively the A2 package is called the TUSK package (Tank Urban Survival Kit). I think the German tank is a tiger variant of some sort, not sure what one. the soviet tank looks like a T-34-85, barrel length and width and the TC hatch position is what makes me think its a T-34-85 the French tank looks like a Char D1 with a ST2 turret, hatch position and the stubbiness of the main gun makes me think its a Char D1 with a ST2 turret

We won’t go quietly. The legion can count on that.

The British is the Mark 1. You can tell because of the long 6pdr barrel

Hoi was mentioned in a video! Quickly everyone! Spam him asking why he won't play it anymore! I'm certain that'll get him back in the mood for it!

Rimmy becomes Alfred Nobel the Merchant of Death

I really wanted a game like this and it's such a shame that we need to wait for the whole game.

8:43 7k not too bad 8:47 -187k L M A O

I was expecting to see infantry getting mowed down by the tanks lewis gun

wait, you sell tanks with the crew already inside ? how does that work do they grow them in greenhouses ?

....I will play as a SU tank producer called "Tanks for All!!!" and create glorious Stalinium monsters!!!

Stealth, on a tank, on a ww1 tank...

Rimmy gonna make the best tanks

God I hope the regular game gets better, if love to see you figure out the freebrams
