SPROCKET COMBAT UPDATE | Building a 50s MBT 

Object permanence and remembering people aren't all in the same place are things the internet struggles heavily with

I love how you were concerned that the coincidence range finder was too modern for the tank, but you ended up putting a muzzle reference sensor on the gun barrel, a piece of technology first used in the 80s on 3rd Generation MBTs.

Centurion is by technicality a WWII tank as the Mk.1 was made in 45 but arrived too late to have had any combat, merely only arrive in Germany after the end of the war.

I'm dyslexic, I am capable of reading but because its challenging for me I tend not to default to reading what I see while browsing youtube. The thumbnail is far more valuable to me as a method of choosing what I watch. So in response to what you were saying here. I rarely read the title of videos.

This tank is really reminiscent of the Type 61/ STA series of prototypes from the 60s, and I'm all for it.

the ksp music is like a cherry on top lol

I hope this game gets some sort of strategy mode where technologies are unlocked and you have to produce vehicles for a nation (Basically Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts but tanks)

8:40 I believe "greeble" in this case means the small miscellaneous objects added to the model to make it seem less "plain" and more "real" or "full".

11:50 If i'm not mistaken they had such range finders (handheld versions) all the way back in WW1. I remember seeing a picture of a German using a pair of binoculars that had the eyes be shoulder width apart. But that was years ago, so take that with a grain of salt.

Quick late tip about Vegemite put very little of it on a sandwich and have a little extra butter because Vegemite has a very strong flavour - from an Australian

Ur good on rangefinders, the M47 Patton had them and was in service from 50-60ish

It IS warm here, hot even. In fact, it's litterally hell here !

I don't have object permanence, it makes my factory job really hard

If i remember correctly the british COvenanter or Crusader had a outer Shell made out of Steel with an Alluminium inner shell. It was done to reduce shrapnells after penetrating but i dont know if that can be considered "Composite Armor"

Cool video. Would love to try the update myself but i cant even get past the unity monitoring warning screen

"Is it really warm if its the temperature of the room, like at that point its *room temperature* which isn't warm" - Albert Einstein or sm idk

I have noticed setting the gun elevation speed to 1°/s works best with medium-size guns featuring custom mantlets, since it gives you the fastest time to top speed and turns out it's not that slow to swing your gun up and down.

Now that combat is in the game I think it would be cool if you went back and used some of your previous designs for combat, maybe a compilation video without building, just all the tanks

Pretty solid design. This looks really good.

I Don't know why but Whenever I Shoot my MBT In Any Other Place but my Engine It's Completely fine

It's currently 86°F with a real feel of 92°F for me at this current hour and day

i went to the baltics with my dad hoping that there will be cold asf, it was 30 degrees celcius in bloody Tallinn.

Dude, it rained today. It's super cold

That turret looks like someone made a mistake in the design phase and put the gun on the wrong side and decided to just slap stowage on the "rear" so it won't look as weird

Saying it isn’t warm would be disingenuous, it’s scorching where I live lmfao

Ngl, I thought the title was clickbait, can’t wait to get back into sprocket again

Looks like a Panzer 68 or a slightly smaller AMX-30

The ears on the side of the turret t30 American heavy tank are range finders so even back in 1945 they had the technology to make range finders that fit inside of the tank

A nice tank design concept I would like to see done with Geometric would be a vehicle with a rear turret mount and mid hull engine compartment, either as a heavy tank or artillery vehicle.

I like the idea of the Fog of War with results of Shots and Enemy Condition in Live Combat, and I think it'd be good to be able to toggle Shot Results and Enemy Condition on and off at will in Testing Scenario kinda times, like when building the Tank and testing its functionality in the Test Area. Being able to observe your Tank's efforts and use info for diagnostics of how it's performing is just plain needed when building and testing the Tank or how is one ever supposed to tell what is or is not working on that Build Strategy? Conversely, I totally agree with the Dev(s) that not getting free cheater Intel on how your Attacks are faring will make for more intense exciting Combat. P.S. I totally liked this Tank Build. And it looks like you're gettin better at your Human Tetris. ;) Curiosity: Is it possible to put in two Crew assigned to loading one Gun to reload it faster, or did Geometric Internals do away with that?

18:43 Always sneaking in the cat part love it

YES. ITS WARM. IM DYING. WHO TF TURNED THE BIG MAGIC LIGHT IN THE SKY ON?!!! LIke COME ON. 34°C? REALLY?! Best regards, a swedish man

T-54 was actually a WW2 design and the first Soviet MBT was the T-64 which combined the armour and the gun of a heavy tank but the mobility of a medium tank, yes this is the Soviet classification, the Soviets were among the last to actually adopt the MBT tank concept. Every previous T-series tanks were medium tanks. T-55 included.

12:04 Ww2 tanks (centurion and iirc the tiger 105 concept) had them fit into them

Make a overly British tonk, maybe something dumb like the archer

At the into you forgot the examples: T55-64-72-80-90-90M and literally every other t series tank

Optical rangefinders existed even during ww2 on tanks, but im also pretty sure they existed on ww1 ships

a T95E1 inspired build would be cool

This is what I want my magnum opes to be like, 1950's mbts are so badass

As someone watching this in Australia during winter, it's cold

The shaping is so satisfying in a hard to explain way. Loved the vid!

I think the design is very cool. It reminds me of the French AMX 30. Nice work.

That tank looks great and seems to be effective. But I wonder about the weight... I've just finnished a similar tank in Sprocket, but reached only 27 tonnes (metric), with 15 mm in the bottom, 25-30 mm at the top, 70-150 mm at the front, 70-80 mm at the sides and 30-55 mm at the rear. But mine is smaller with only four men crew.

pls gib stabilizers, thermals, night vision, autoloaders, composite armor, laser rangefinders, and ERA sprocket. Also yes, a stereoscopic rangefinder would fit on a 50s tank. Some WWII tank designs had them even. Several 50s Soviet designs had them too.

I just want M60A3s every tank related video I watch

Do you know of we can import some of our older blueprints to this update. I have an older design that i couldnt get working in volumetric internals :c

you laughed like batman in lego batman just saying 10:21

Dude, it's absolutley FREEZING!!!!!

It sounds like an item that should be an option. I personally like being able to tell if I got the kill.

I'm glad someone else had the wheel problem. My g29 and sprocket fought too xD

11:53 the Schmalturm for the Panther ausf. F has a rangefinder exactly like that

Mannn, it ain't even colddd, its onlyyy 66f in the middle of the night

It looks like a ww2 variant of the amx 30B.

I only found out about this alpha version being playable last night. Subsequently made a 3rd gen MBT quite well, although it does need some greebling as I'm not an experienced builder. I do love how improved the tank editor has become compared to the original version of the game, I was struggling a lot to make shapes I wanted but now? Now it's more like using blender, as it should be. Having internals to detail is also a nice touch although the trunions of the cannon breach do get annoying.

Well the M-48 and the T seires heavy tanks (T-29, T-30, T-34) could have them, so seems close enough

I give it a 7.1224502/3.11209 greebles

Can you try making something that can fly in sprocket and fly out makes something that does not have to fly, but you can make it fly, but also you gotta make sure it can drive like a tank and be heavily protected can you do that?

Thats a nice Nice Tonk, i love that Design

My right ear enjoyed this video 😂

Partchment bits is in the big leagues with 183 comments and 11k views

Also, i spent around an 15 minutes trying to know what "greebles" or as RU-vids subtitles put it Glbs, they're something from plastic

This tank seems ever so slightly prone to cooking off

It's not warm, it's hot 💀

Sprocket AMX-30 recreation, my beloved :) (My favorite tank!)

Yeah you're right it's pretty warm outside

Looks like an EARLY AMX 30 !!!

Pretty warm here ☀️😎🥵

Its hot.. Very hot.. Also nice MBT!

[“the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”]

This may be a bit off topic, but imagine if you could transfer designs from Sprocket to Flyout to use in custom missions

I feel like the kill notification should be a toggleable setting

So, an AMX-30 but worse?

Its pretty hot here actually

im so happy they finally added tanks to sprocket

Looks like a AMX-30/775 combo

its cold

I would appreciate the option to turn the ability on or off if I can see what other people's components I have knocked out on their vehicles I would really like that please

centurion looking tank

Nicely done, I wonder if u can make the Chinese ZTZ 99a or any Chinese tanks?

Looks like the amx 30

owh boi.. now is the time for me to start crazy with sub 10t tanks with the new update

it is the middle of winter in my weird country. It is infact cold outside.

@PatchBits what ever you do don't come to the US. kuz i have a feeling your going to learn what worm really is.

I'am pretty imprest of this design, it looks so good.

It's a blistering 15°C here right now

Holy crap, Your builds are getting godtier. Can I steal this?

that is indeed an AMX-30 it looks a lot like it. also wdym it's not warm

its cold outside man

It's not warm (anymore in my room, new AC go brrr)

Is it hot here? Well its around 300 Kelvin here so thats pretty hot, but considering we're so close to zero on a scale that seems to move uo to infinity i have to say its pretty cold here

its like actually kinda chilly ngl

is there way to split faces without splitting whole around the tank but only one face that i want?

11:50 its not, im pretty sure even during ww2 these were tested on tanks and did fit inside the turrets... if i'm not mistaken some even saw combat? i think it was some panthers that had em?

What a perfect tank! Good job!

The australians comming in saying 50C is a cold day

I'd go as far as to argue that the Panther was the first "true" MBT.

I’m doing corn detasseling right now, and I can confirm it’s insanely hot

it is slightly warm... 23 degrees celsius believe it or not

I rarely look at the title i normally look at the thumbnail first then i take a brief look at the title

Been watching since 100 bc
