I held a COMPETITION to see who could put the BIGGEST GUN on a 10t tank! | Sprocket

Well I mean you say "I don't think it's feasible at all because on uneven terrain the turret wouldn't rotate at all", while the KV-2 exists and had that exact issue. So an actual tank that was mass produced in decent enough numbers and fought in World War II with the Soviet Army gets 10 points for feasibility.

You should add an aesthetics category for any future competitions. The chibi truck looked amazing.

Thank you for hosting! Yeah, turret weight offset was a concern, that is in fact why I added the crane, and big stowage box in the back. I like to think the rear half of the stowage box is just filled with a lead counterweight lmao. Shame decals were broken in this update though, and I am sorry you presumably had to remove them, wouldnt have used that many had I known! Fun fact, the Basilisk started out as an L3 style tankette, which couldnt fit the turret I wanted so I widened and lengthened it, only for it to shrink down to almost L3 size again through development in order to reduce weight.

some of these designs are just straight out of metal slug

Suggestion: Have feasibility be a multiplier, so if it's obviously impossible to actually make, have it be x0 and then it's scored all the way up to x1 for a fully realistic and feasible design. This would prevent someone from making a 500mm gun on treads.

ngl Having maximum size of gun caliber just means most of the designs will automatically be within the winning group so long as it meets the barest minimum of the qualifications, and the Feasibility score just seems needless since people can, and have, just made lumpy shapes and had the cannon size carry them on score alone. Just seems a bit cheap.

These were cool but I think it would be good to do a quick video to highlight some of the more realistic/better looking designs as even the most feasible of these would realistically just not be possible and I saw some great designs in the discord which didn't make it due to more realistic cannons

Hello, creator of the 26cm Morserwagen here! I am really happy to score a 2nd place and to be included in this video. Participating in this contest was a lot of fun for me and I can't wait for another one - maybe in Flyout? Awesome video as always, Patch.

Next do a contest to see how many crew people can cram into a 10 ton tank. Sardine packing challenge.

I feel like the feasibility score is a little odd, 0/20 for a fairly good design other than the manipulation to make a fake barrel (the driver position is just fine, irl prototypes have had driver positions that can literally kill the driver, or actual vehicles that have the driver backwards)

Should've have honorable mentions! Can't wait for the next one!

12:31 It actually was pretty clever to make driver control the vehicle by legs, because there is no room for hand steering wheel

4:18 wtf is this, was him drunk while building this lol

I might be asking too much. I wonder if it would be possible to have list of the entries and their grades. I think it would be good to be able to see how we performed. Props to you for the initiative of the contest and to everyone who participated

11:35 This looks like something you would see in Metal Slug and I love it to death (and I haven't even touched Metal Slug...). Its appearance is just so charming... Edit: 14:19 This one looks really nice too

Most of these are Howitzer Motor Carriages/Self Propelled Artillery, Makes sense.

now, I dont know the rules of the competition, and I dont even have sprocket (yet) however, was there anything stopping anyone from just literally having an upward facing mortar? I feel like you could work around some issues doing things that way, but I could easily be wrong.

the pupenfarten thing looks like wall-e

German here! You're german pronunciation sounds way better than I expected. And "Fahrzeug" just means vehicle. Anyways, love your videos and congrats for the 25k!

Those were some pretty cool tanks. I completely forgot to post my tank. I wouldn't have won, but I was pretty satisfied with my 150mm spg.
