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.

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.

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.

This game is just awesome, if you like tanks. You can do anything you want: modern tanks, ww2, ww1, wheeled vehicles or some questionable enjenirink. you can have the old editor or the new one with internals :)))

Man kann seine kreativität sehr schön ausleben. kann zeitweise aber auch kompliziert werden.

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.

Sprocket ist ein sehr cooles Spiel mit vielen Freiheiten. Es ist relativ einfach die Mechaniken zu lernen und es gibt eine große Vielfalt an einstellbaren Parametern (sowohl vereinfacht als auch erweiterte Einstellungen) und Bauteilen. Man kann ohne Probleme echte Panzer nachbauen aber auch frei erfundene und sehr exotische varianten von Panzern bauen.
Meiner Meinung gibt es nur drei Probleme/Mängel.
Erstens, man kann keine koaxialität bei Geschütze mit unterschiedlichen Mantlets einstellen.
Zweitens, die Anti-Infanterie Waffen wie z.B. MG-34 Port sind nur Deko. Es wäre cool wenn man diese auch verwenden könnte.
Drittens, ich kann aus dem folgendem Grund keine Custom Battles mehr spielen. Es gibt eine Map in der man mehr Panzern auswählen kann als in den anderen Maps. Wenn man mit der maximalen anzahl an Panzern dieser Map zu einer anderen Map wechselt und die Schlacht dann startet stürzt das Spiel ab. Danach kann man keine Custom Battles mehr spielen nicht einmal nachdem man das Spiel deinstalliert und erneut installiert hat.

Macht richtig bock! Das ist vor allem ein Spiel für Leute, die im Schulhefter immer irgendwelche Designs an den Rand gekritzelt haben. Das Schöne ist auch, dass es immer wieder Updates gibt, die dem Spiel noch weitere Details verleihen.
