Ah yes, I remember the famous scene from Fury 2 where Brad Pitt drifted his trusty Autosave around the King Tiger and won the engagement.

"If we make ourselves smaller, they cant hit us." Unnamed french tank designer circa 1950s

The term "Autosave" we use nowadays comes from a famous tank wich started production in 1940 called "Autosave". This tank was so fast and easy to manufacture that opposite forces had to deal with a new one every 5 minutes on average, making it feel like the same tank respawned a few kilometers away everytime it was taken out Sources: yes

Spookston breaking the monotony of war thunder with sprocket. I'm looking to break the monotony of sprocket with war thunder. What a deep and tangible lore.

Now make the heaviest and fastest moving bunker possible. And put a single mg on top for self defense you know

Can’t wait to see “If the RTTB(Autosave) is Historically Accurate”

The reason you didn't have much turret space was due to the tank having 57 APHE and 25 HE shells in the turret. Increasing the length of all these shells for more penetration also made them take up vastly more space. On high caliber guns, I usually run 20 or so rounds in the turret. Something you can do to increase hull space is to decrease crew area size and to reduce the amount of fuel inside of the tank. By default all crew get 1 m^2 of space, which is indeed much, but does increase their performance. You can adjust this to your needs. As for fuel, by default the tank has 500 liters inside and you can reduce this amount for more hull space. You can also add external fuel tanks which give fuel for no hull space cost, in fact you can set the internal fuel amount to 0 and just rely on external fuel tanks. Lastly, you can activate cheats in the game's settings, which for instance let you use the vehicle in battle even if you go above the space limits. Greetings from from a fan and an avid Sprocket player :)

You should play the Italian M41M 90/53. Weird chassis but the gun is simply a joy to shoot.

0:04 I'll be honest i was fully expecting to see just HSTV-L but with Spike or TOW Missile attached to it

Spookston: Yeah I like light tanks, we dont need armor, firepower or anything, we need speed. Me who built a tank that looks like you stole the king tigers turret, made it wide and slapped it onto a supermotorized, vertically squished t34 chassis with angled sides that is now on 80km/h topspeed and has 300mm effective armor everywhere: Why not have both? (Disclaimer: Its german so ofc its gonna have its engine turn into a supernuke after you get to the third gear but hey, its still fast. Just... very sensitive

Everyone, if you're having trouble with turret volume, adjust your Turret Basket Size. You trade hull volume for turret volume so you can balance them out. And that way not everything you make needs a KV-2 turret, you can make it really compact

You should play the 2.3 Russian T-80, it has the mobility of a German super heavy, a turret that takes a full hour to rotate 90°, the armor of a truck and a gun that is almost as good as a .50 cal. The pinnacle of Russian engineering!

Yes! A Sprocket Video! Please more!

My record for Top Speed in Sprocket was 209.70 km/h. The design was a 4.2 ton cheese wedge with all engines. With slight adjustments it could be made combat-worthy! I would greatly appreciate more Sprocket content, as we get to see more of the light-hearted side of you. Simple, goofy, and fun!

Spookston trying to make something not related to HSTV-L challenge (impossible) Also, the sliding down hill issue is due to a lack of brakes, the tank will only shift from reverse to forward once the speed is close to 0. On a hill you will continue to slide as the tank is stuck in reverse gear. This issue will be fixed... soon(TM)

You can increase the turret traverse rate in Compartments>Turret. You had it hand cranked the whole time :) And the thing you edited in gun mount was elevation/depression speed.

You can increase turret traverse speed in the turrets shaping menu, theres a tab thats just named "Traverse". While I'll always enjoy your warthunder content, sprocket is a nice change of pace.

I think Sprocket would be a great game to feature regularly on the channel. Really enjoyed the video

I could recommend you to try the Sprocket on experimental mode, there has been a lot of new additions in it, like placable ammo racks, better climbing physics and new elements for tank.

1) To change space "distributed" between turret and turret use "basket space" slider. It is available in "compartments" submenu after right clicking turret you want to edit 2) You couldn't fit gun inside a turret because you decided to put stowages for about 100 rounds inside said turret 3) Changing torque of gun mount changes elevation speed. To change turret traverse rate, you have to change turret engine torque (also available in compartments submenu)

0:39 RTTB = Return To The Base (My best guess)

5:52 Yes, because it happened to me. During one of our trips to Uruguay, my father was moving at 60 mph or 97 kph in a highway or some long road. There is a speed bump but he doesn’t see it likely because there was no paint or it was worn down (idk for sure but roads were quite bad generally). We hit the speed bump and I am launched into the ceiling of the van. I cannot imagine that would be very fun inside of an armored vehicle, atleast the van ceiling had thin padding but in an AFV it’s likely bare steel. Hopefully you have a good helmet if that happens. Fortunately for me, it just hurt a bit and everyone laughed at my misfortune and that was it.

I can already hear Belton cooper drooling at the thought of making Sherman deathtraps Part 2 electric boogalo

That's because this game doesn't uses tracks, it uses invisible wheels. The whed are at the front and back and changes sizes depending on the sprocket size.

1)Elongated Strv 103 "wedge" hull 2)Back mounted "water drop" turret of T-64. Done. 3 men crew, extreme angling, small target profile, autoloader in the back very close to ground, ability to "duck" under small cover or raise turret above them. Might add features from MBT-70 and third prototype of Leopard to fully represent that generation of weird novel "space age" tanks back when militaries wanted to experiment with weird(for the time) untested ideas to get a technological edge. Though those latter two are counter productive to this mix as they had different design goals to former two...

I like when Spookston plays other games than too not just war thunder Keep up the good work lad!

Me screaming in my head that spookston has hand-cranked turret traverse and keeps complaining that his turret traverse is too low.

managed to make a fast 20t tank that somehow can tank a shot from the kingtiger by giving it the layout of the excalibur. Feels a bit op.

Ah more Sprocket! It's been a while since the last one. Gonna enjoy lunch with this one. Thanks chief

This might be the single most entertaining thing I've seen on KZfaq so far this year.

I would love to see more sprocket videos!

You can change the basket space in the turret tab, which can give you more space in the turret but less in the hull, or vice versa

RTTB definitely means the war thunder command "RETURNING TO THE BASE"

Honestly would love to see more of this from you. I really enjoy your content, and a departure from War Thunder and it's shenanigans seems like a good thing once in a while. Keep up the good work!

Spookston today was my birthday, thanks for the funny video sort of like a present. Thanks!

Spookston making the turret larger to 'make space for more gun' while he's carrying 80 pieces of ammunition in it killed me mentally

Love your videos, man. I patiently wait for the funny Stridsvagn 103.

My day legit gets a lil better when I see a new Spook video cuz I know I'm gonna get a funnie meme video

It took me a good moment to see the inspiration, and now I can't unsee it. Truthfully, I don't think I should've expected anything else.

That suspension and transmission kill me. Small road wheels slow you down a ton. More gears not always better. I know there's a google doc with a sprocket transmission calculator around the internet somewhere, I use it all the time to get small, simple transmissions that max out at high speeds. Also taking the time to learn the freeform designer is definitely worth the effort, not only can you make more complex hulls and turrets, but you can actually make really strong armor layouts with nice internal volume spare.

5:09 Congrats Skookston, you have made the ELC BIS

wait until spookston finds out that you can edit the game file configs in order to make autocannons and 1000mm artillery big booms

That HVSS suspension on the light tank is devoiding my brain cells from "I want to live" juice

“122, that’s a dirty caliber” One of the best ways to describe a weapon caliber💀

1:19 - Such a well thought observation. 😂

Spook: German why u get bad tank Also spook:

1:18 LOL that was good historical comedy.

> Hears C&C Generals sound track > Remembers the good old times > Tries to play it for old times sake > Remembers it's nowhere to be found > Cries

I knew spookston was the kind of guy, who would listen to breakbeat

1:25 Spookston try not to have the Panther live rent free in his head challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (NOT CLICKBATE)

Honestly, I'd love to see you play around with Sprocket's geometric internals once combat starts coming back. Could be fun seeing you try to fit everything inside lol.

Its a beautiful tank! At full speed offroad the crew inside become a milkshake to bring all the bois to the yard!

My brain designing a tank: Sturmtiger..... But..... Bigger!

The way you change turret treverse is by changing the hull (Specifically the turret section)'s settings and adding more torque, rather then adding more torque to the mantlet, you can also change the gear ratio to effect peak torque and speed. Also, you can click and drag the points individually so you can shape the hull and turret finely.

We dont need armor, we dont need firepower We need SPEEEED

"We don't need armor, we don't need firepower... all we need... is speed. " -Winston McQueen

Damn, insurgents would love this(C&C music fits)

"Why am I rolling back down hills?" Gear ratios... gear ratios... The auxiliary transmission existed for a reason.

Builds a light tank, finds out at the end of the forgotten superiority of the Tankette!

Sprocket is such a treat!

The turret traverse speed is in the turret compartment. More torque is quicker acceleration, and a lower ratio gives a quicker max speed but slows the acceleration. you don't need 12 gears in your tank, you are not a semi-truck. More gears just gives more weight to the transmission, slowing you down, which is especially bad if you never reach the speed to use those gears. 5 or 6 forward gears is probably best. The higher the gear ration the more acceleration and the quicker you get to the next gear. With vehicles like the T-126, it goes through its first 3 gears almost instantly and takes barely any time before it gets to its top speed through its 4th gear, which is why it doesn't have much top speed. The M18 would be a better vehicle to model your gearing after, it goes through its first 3 gears quickly, though slightly slower than the T-126, but goes longer on the 4th and beyond. If you can't reach some of your highest gears in any combat scenarios, you may as well remove them to conserve weight and space.

Return To The Base is the name. It reminds you to go back to base because you will need spare parts or more fuel after 20 seconds of operating it.

I followed a similar concept of tank and came up with a t-34 chaffee with a pike nose hull and a 90mm

"How can I increase my turret rotation speed?" *cranks up elevation torque*

BTW, if you don't set your suspension correctly it really hamperd your traction which could be why you were sliding off hills. Make sure you suspension arm's value is double thsy of its thickness value. A grest way to see of you have the right values set is to test drive it snd drive it on the dirt hills. The road wheels and tracks should conform to the bumps snd Gove proper traction. If it's too stiff it will have a lot of air gaps where the tracks don't make contact. If it's too loose you will be bouncing everywhere and will struggle to get the gun on target. Oh btw you can make a pseudo vertical stabilizer by using a turret placed sideways to place the gun rather than placing a regular mantle on the main turret. You then make the second turret your gun mantle and armor it however you see fit snd make its turret Travers as fast as you want. Maxing out its torque and reducing the gear ratio will essentially stabilized the gun. It will work even better of you go to the files and give the gunner a allocation of 2.0 or more. Oh and you cab keep the gunner sight on the main turret snd it still works. Forgot to mention, you can also mess with the turret rotation constraints to give your home made mantle as much elevation and depression as you want.

Man really made the LSTVL (Low Survivability Test Vehicle Lightweight)

*after making the hull longer Me: "So this is essentially TAM with a jet engine..."

"We don't care about armour or firepower, we only care about speed" "Okay, we need more penetration" > Ends up creating ELC-Bis distant cousin

Congratulations Spookston. You've made the Batchat 25t.

Solution to the land ship problem: “Noooooo you can’t make a really big tank today! It will get bombed!” haha land CIWS go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRt

The title heavily reminds me of the videos from 1 year ago demonstrating goofy “tanks” that go faster than anything that can be built today

Sprocket Tip: Adjust the gear ratio for traverse and elevation for the maximum speed within a range of 1 - 1.2 seconds. It will not be the fastest but it will be very responsive.

Please make more futuristic tank ideas or weird cold war prototypes

A tip is that if you need a bit more space for ammo and have any space in the turret, you can just increase the basket space. It would have helped at 3:25

"I hope this can peirce the medium tanks" It: failing to peirce a light tank

I love how you ended up making the AMX-13

Spookston on his way to make modern tankettes

the day spookston remembers what RTTB means is the day we achieve world peace

YES YES YES SPROCKET PLUS SPOOKTON WOOO

now THIS, this is the creator who would do best with sprocket content if i can throw in as a suggestion/idea, try to make the most WW2 japanese tank that you can in sprocket and see what it can do, alternatively there is also the more spicy option of italians tanks

Hell yeah, Spookston and Sprocket! Now if only they would let you provide your tank with only solid shot AP rounds!

I loved this and hope to see more!

5:12 When in an effort to make the best tank you accidentally just make an M1 turret with no armor

its nice to see more Sprocket - looking forward to more!

Bro made the cursed child of an HSTV-L and an ELC Bis.

I would not mind seeing other games or video ideas on the channel, especially if you feel burnt out. Doesn't even have to be tanks, planes or warfare.

Congratulations, you've designed one (1) M3 Stuart!

if you have space in the turret but overflow the hull, make the basket space smaller in the builder

I really am enjoying the sprocket content, keep it up!

I'd really love to see the VRCC Centauro. It's my absolute favourite vehicle in WT, and it's super fast and nimble. Think you might like it.

Please do the m56 and the ontos. Also try playing with the wiesel and pretend to be a parked car (or with other unusually small vehicles) to ambush the other side.

You could easily raise the tanks top speed by lowering the top gear to like 0.1 or hell lower probably, you also dont really need 16 gears when the tank has that much power to weight, you could probably get away with just 6 or 8. Also just make the upper and lower frontal hull like 40mm and it will bounce basically everything

I didn't know you played this!!!, more please

Im glad im not the only one who finds that the ridiculously small tank with a huge engine works best. And btw front armor is pretty much the only thing the tank needs. Just give it 160-200mm of frontal armor and angle it and the ai plays the game for you

Always a fan of the sprocket vids, look forward to seeing more hopefully.

Down for more of this

In the end, you basically just created an M18 hull with an M41 turret, and it worked surprisingly well

Lmao those were some beautiful designs, I hope you make more sprocket videos in the future

As for what RTTB could mean, maybe Redlining Turbo Tracked Battler

You've basically arrived at what I found to be the best type of design in this game. Just give it a pike-nose and a bit more armor for extra cheese.
