Sprocket
Design tanks in a dedicated and intuitive designer, allowing the realistic armour mechanics that make tank combat so unique. Explore tank design’s challenges through WW1, the interwar period and the early, mid and late stages of WW2.
Please note: There is currently no dedicated tutorial. If you don’t enjoy figuring things out or you don’t know much about tanks, it may be worth holding off until better guidance is in place.
Hull & Turret Shape Design
Easy to use and flexible enough to give you endless design starting points. Drag on a face or edge to move it. Bigger compartments create more internal space but have more surface to armour.
Well angled shapes may bounce incoming shells off entirely, leaving only a scratch and several ringing ears.
Armour Design
Set the thickness of each armour plate, allowing you to block shots from your foes. Though the weight and space used adds up!
Cannon Design
Build a gun capable of piercing enemy armour. You’ll need enough space and force to rotate it. Make sure you save enough room for ammo!
Crew Design
Humans are light but large and quite essential, squeeze them in and assign them one or more roles. Cramped and overworked crew perform poorly.
Attached Parts
Add functional and decorative parts to the exterior of your vehicle. These can define where internals are e.g. the engine is positioned where you place your exhausts and vents, then gets hit if a shell pierces your armour in that area. Place a fuel port in front of the driver and the fuel tank just might absorb a projectile, saving their life – if it doesn’t ignite…
Track Design
Focus your tracks and suspension on trench crossing, mountain climbing, going fast or just looking cool.
Engine Design
Design anything from ship engines to lawnmower engines in a basic powerplant designer.
Fuel Tank Design
Set your fuel capacity and tank locations. Even bring them outside of the vehicle – if you don’t mind them being shot off every now and then.
Transmission Design
Design your ratios – make it faster backwards than forwards or give it a 1st gear that can climb any mountain. One of these on each track will let one side drive while the other reverses, turning on the spot.
Internal Component Health
No hit-points. Vehicles carry on the fight as long as their critical internals are still functioning.
Full Powertrain Simulation
Engines, transmissions & tracks work together to move your tank with a realistic simulation, making vehicles feel like the real thing.
Scenarios
Battle in a range of environments with a team of your custom tanks, although make your design too expensive and you might be on your own. If your vehicle is destroyed, you carry on the fight in control of an ally – sometimes watching your previous self go up in flames.

TURTORE is fun! you will know what i mean if you actiave this beta or maybe not anymorea beta... idk i hate my aenglish)

Sprocket ist ein sehr cooles und einfach mal komplett anderes Indie-Spiel, das sich um das Design und die Erprobung von Panzern dreht. Seit dem Start im Early Access hat sich auch einiges getan. Mittlerweile kann man sehr tief in die Entwicklung und das Design seiner eigener Panzer eintauchen. So spielt zum Beispiel mittlerweile auch die Packungsdichte der internen Module eine Rolle und muss durchdacht und geplant werden. Auf Steam wird das Spiel insgesamt als „sehr positiv“ eingestuft, und das aus gutem Grund.
Das Spiel ermöglicht es dir, deinen eigenen Panzer zu entwerfen. Du kannst alles einstellen, ändern und anpassen. Es gibt auch einen Sandbox-Modus, in dem man mal ganz abgefahrene Panzer entfernen kann. Die Kombination aus kreativem Design und strategischem Denken macht Sprocket zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis. Die Grafik kann sicherlich noch etwas Arbeit vertragen, aber für Hobby-Panzerkonstrukteure ist das Game sicherlich auch jetzt schon einen Blick wert. Die Steuerung und der Sound sind meiner Meinung nach voll in Ordnung.

Great game, the Ideas are endless, wither you can make the smallest or biggest possible vehicle, a WW1 Landcruiser or a 60´s MBT, a light, medium, heavy or superheavy tank, while keeping it effective. Sprocket is the tank designer game for tank fans. Highly recommended.
The only downside is the lack of, for example, Cupolas, Suspensions, Muzzle breaks and gun mantlets.

Das beste Panzerbauspiel aller Zeiten. Man kann alles bauen, was man alles im Kopf darstellt. Von den kleinsten Schützenpanzer, bis hin zu riesigen 300t Landkreuzern.

I always loved to create my own tank designs on paper and this game lets me translate those ideas into 3d space. I also get to drive and test fire my own designs. I simply adore this game and it has long since become one of my favourite games I play from time to time to relax :D.

It's early access, don't expect something polished as War Thunder,but if you're a tank enthusiast you can play around for hours with wacky tanks and their atributes such as armor, weaponry and engines.
It also features a module system like WT but it's not that well polished as already mentioned.
8.5/10.
Needs more customisation in terms of ammo and parts but there's something like that in the works already.
