Hi, creator of the Mk IV here. Thanks for the feedback and glad to see you stuck it out with the controls. I was trying to go for a control scheme that got you to think so you can imagine the original four operators trying to coordinate that at the same time on the battlefield. It was my first tracked vehicle in Stormworks so I thought it would be nice to try a mechanically simple real world tank design and focus on the historical aspects. I'll try to up my detail work in the next challenge submission and well done to all creators for their fantastic work. Well deserved win for Sebastiaz and the Devastator tank!

fun tip, japanese tanks and swedish tanks had this feature, 1 for depression it could allow up to 30 degrees of gun depression on some tanks, which was UNHEARD of during WW2. and 2nd, its used as a hull down mechanic. these tanks were fast and lightly armoured compared to their enemies. so they implemented the kneeling too allow better hull down and angle the armour more efficiently, thus allowing more bounces.

Dear NJ, I understand if these challenges are too much work but please keep doing them. I can't take my shot at them because I have my finals at the moment but after that, I am planning to go all-in for whatever challenge you put up. If anything, I can at least help with challenge ideas so here you go: 1) A challenge for the actual game scenarios! For example, set up a vanilla boat on fire, rescue x amount of people task and see who can build the vehicle that finishes the task as fast as possible and with as many rescues. The advantage of this challenge would be that people would build really creative engineering solutions for doing them efficiently such as clever bridges that can deploy and attach to the boat in need so that you don't have to swim back and forth all the time or even maybe a huge ship that swallows the boat in need whole and carries the whole thing to the hospital and such. The disadvantage would be that understandably you might not be able to utilize the intricate mechanisms of people's designs and their purposes on the first try but this can be one of the criteria as well such as the creation should be easy to use without needing to memorize precise procedures and such. 2) A literal race to the finish line! In order to remove the human factor from the race, it can be an automated vehicle race exclusively that upon receiving a signal the vehicles start moving in a straight path as good as possible which should also be a part of the criteria. The advantage of this challenge would again be that people would push the limits of the game to the bone with extremely light designs and super-efficient engines and possibly exploits (which can help the devs too huh?). The disadvantage would be that maybe the designs would converge on one type that is so good that it is meaningless to try anything else. 3) Battle bots! Maybe a little too hardcore but anyways. This would be another automated challenge where people would build vehicles that will then understand their environment and the position of the enemy in order to fight until one is incapacitated. Maybe this can better fit after the weapons update. The advantage of this challenge would be that people such as myself with a Computer Science background or simply interested in coding can develop really creative Lua algorithms! The disadvantage would be that this challenge would discriminate against people who just want to build stuff in-game without messing with coding. In addition, another disadvantage would be that the vehicles have to be within very strict boundaries for this to be a fair and entertaining fight. For example, for the ease of locating the enemy, vehicles might have to have IR spotlights on each side that is unblocked and probably will have to fit within a certain size in order to prevent people from just adding 15 block thick armor on each side. 4) Secret villain base challenge! A base building challenge where people will build innocent-looking bases that will transform into something completely else like a Batcave upon the press of a secret button. The advantage of this challenge would be that it is very approachable by the majority of the community since the aesthetics would be more important than the technicals along with all the crazy things people would build such as Perry the Platypus secret lair type things or even tank tracks that emerge from the bottom and move the whole clubhouse etc. There are no disadvantages that I can think of for this at the moment which can't be a bad sign! Feel free to use them as you like I hope it helps. Thanks for the time and effort you put in.

I got really excited when I saw a Challenger, but then I realized it wasn’t mine. Looks really similar tho lol

I love it! With all of my engine, and logic practices almost done, I should take part in the next challenge!

I think the game world time was slower in part 2 due to more resource-demanding creations therefore timing the runs wouldn't be fair imo. For example, "the challenger" creation looked very heavy and slow but see how much air it got on the jumps so the slow feeling was probably due to performance issues. Regardless, great video and keep up the good work!

I'm pretty sure the 3 tracks is to imitate hydropneumatic suspension

*Gets into mark 4* BATTLEFILED MUSIC STARTS

Yey my tank got in, although looks like the warhammer tank didn't drive that well for you. Unfortunately the small wheels, they are the best size to represent the wheels on the miniature models :-/

Only 8 out of these 10 actually deserved to be in the top ten

Glory to Raptoria Everyone! Loved the video MrNJersey! To the Creators of the STB-1 (Type 74) and the M1A0 Devastator Tanks and the T-15 Armata Infantry Support Tank, the Raptorian Armed Forces will gladly have around 12 examples of each for Operational Testing in the World of Stormworks! To All the other Creators, whether your creation was featured or not, you all seem to have done a fine job of your creations! There are a few other "Challenges" I myself have thought up if you want to take a crack at any of them, and if you'd like @MrNJersey, you can Host/MC the final reviews! These are in three different Categories, Naval, Air, and Ground. Naval: Here you can choose what type of ship you can build, be it a lowly Destroyer to a very, very large Aircraft Carrier. You could build a ship from any nation, or build one by your own design. Please note that if you choose to go with a historic Ship design, we simply ask you to try to keep the build as historically accurate as possible while also making it so that everyone on the server can mess around, explore the world map, or even complete a few missions as best possible. If you have a decently sized Air Group for the Aircraft Carrier, please keep it to no more than Four Examples of each Aircraft type. Specifics will be as follows: • Aircraft Carriers: we are looking for a ship that will have a minimum length of 750 feet (230 meters), a Beam of 102 feet (31 meters), and a Draft/Draught of 26 feet (8 meters). Hangar Deck will have a ceiling height of 23 feet (7 meters). Maximum speed will be about 34 knots (39.1 miles per hour), at best. Must have Catapults and Arrester Wires as well as Aircraft Elevators. • Battleships: Here we are looking for a ship with up to four Twin, Triple, or possibly Quadruple turrets for the Main Guns, being 14 or 16 inches, Twin Turrets for the Secondary guns being 4 or 5 inches, and as much Anti-Aircraft guns as best possible with the ship sinking upon spawning. Maximum length of 870 feet (267 meters), beam of 102 feet (31 meters) and a Draft/Draught of 35 feet (10 meters). Maximum speed again is 34 knots (39.1 miles per hour) at best. Ships of this, and the following Heavy and Light Cruiser types must have Catapult launched Floatplanes for Air Observation and a crane to bring the Aircraft aboard once they've returned. •Heavy Cruisers: we are looking for a ship with a maximum length of 670 feet (206 meters), a Beam of 70 feet (21 meters), and a Draft/Draught of 26 feet (8 meters). Main Guns are 8 inch, secondary guns 5 inch, Anti-Aircraft guns as mentioned in the Battleship type. •Light Cruisers: we are looking for a ship with a maximum length of 610 feet (187 meters), a Beam of 66 feet (20 meters) and a Draft/Draught of 23 feet (7 meters). Main Guns are 6 inch, *Unless it's an Anti-Aircraft Cruiser which will have 5 inch guns* and secondary guns are 5 inch, Anti-Aircraft guns as mentioned in the Battleships type. •Destroyers: we are looking for a ship with a length between 370 feet to 400 feet (113 meters to 123 meters), a Beam between 38 feet to 42 feet (11 meters to 13 meters), and a Draft/Draught between 15 feet to 20 feet (4 meters to 6 meters) at full load. Main Guns are at least four single mount 5 inch guns, minimum torpedo compliment of a single Quintuple Mount (5 torpedoes or "Fish"), Anti-Aircraft guns as mentioned in the Battleships type. For the interest of saving time the Air and Ground categories will just have the synopsis for each. Air: Here you can build Aircraft for land airfields or the Aircraft Carriers, as well as Helicopters if you want to be a bit more modern. Carrier-borne Aircraft must have an Arrester hook and have their wings fold to give the smallest profile possible for storage in the Hangar Deck. Ground: Here you can build Tanks, preferably designs no one else had made yet, as well as Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Towed and Self-Propelled Artillery, and even Armored Cars. Props to the Creator of the STB-1 (Type 74) for using the Suspension system used on the Swedish Stridsvagen 103, not sure if it actually has it be an interesting sight in Stormworks nonetheless. It's getting Super-late for me as I'm finishing this at 3:50 a.m. and I started typing this at about 2:20 a.m.

Love the new intro music!

Next video should be Military go-fasts / patrol boats. would be pretty neat to see some of the creations that come out of that.

You should have tested the gun stabilization on the second tank

Ive been waiting for this!

The 3 tank the one with the side turrets is a world war 1 land ship

Nice

Exhaust can block vision, lost plenty times because of it.

What if you suggested to the devs to add bigger pipes like 2x2 or 3x3 pipes that can hold a ton and transport a lot more fluid then the normal pipes.

Didn't see any beat my 7 seconds for the dirt mounts. Also why did so many tilt up during jumps?

Hi, I was wondering, do you try all the tanks that people made in order to make your selection or do you just select the ones that got the most votes? Some tanks in your selection can barely execute the track, it could be a frustration for people that put effort to make something drivable when they see what the top 10 is made of. Can't your Mods try them to make a selection and then people vote for the best in this selection and then you make a top 10? Keep the good work. Love your vids, hate your challenge selection

i find this weird like my tank and other poeple who put lots of work and only a few most "good looking" tanks are voted ima make my own challenege

Noice

Can you please make a chinook style helicopter tutorial.

I have noticed in last video and this video that on all vehicles with 2 antenna's that the right antenna wobbles more than the left.

Do this test with a Maus

Can you please tell me your recording software because my one lags my game

iv been finding it really hard to have a good engine setup, i cant get the clutch past 0.67 until the engine quits using 1 medium engine and same thing with 2

M1 Abrams

can the next build challenge be US Fighter Jets

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

T u r r e n t

Please make a tank tutorial where you use a real engine please not electric, gas power please i don’t know how I’ve tried and tried and no one has made a tutorial at all

Водятел, блин.
