This is the second major component of Sprocket as of writing. This isn’t even the worst vehicle I’ve made. Creating ‘cursed’ tanks is practically tradition at this point. It’s a fun sandbox to tinker and play with. It has a low skill floor but a high skill ceiling. Overall, Sprocket’s tank builder is feature-heavy, contains a surprising amount of depth, and is expansive. However in most cases these are just teething issues that can and have been ironed out through the game’s constant updates.
There’s no undo-redo function, some of the UI elements glitch out at times, and some components don’t change like they’re supposed to. There are a few issues with the tank builder. This is a huge help for fine-tuning and a convenient tool for tank building. Sprocket allows you to save components of your vehicles as modules. This is a useful feature to distinguish similar vehicles at a glance. The amount of space for the crew is crucial as it directly affects crew performance.įinally there’s the aesthetic components and a paint tool that are there to give your tank a distinct look and some visual flare and complexity. Some parts are mandatory to allow full functionality for the vehicle. You’re looking for a fine balance between weapon performance, weapon dimensions, and munition size that best fits your vehicle. Then there’s the business end of the tank the main gun.
Vehicle optimization is arguably the biggest reason I’ve spent over seventy hours in this game. Thankful there’s a growing community for this game on social media if you ever need help figuring it out. This is the most in-depth part of Sprocket right now gear ratios in particular need some understanding of mechanical engineering to optimize.
You can design the tank’s suspension, engine, gearbox, and running gear. You can shape your tank’s appearance which affects more than just aesthetics it along with how you armor the tank directly affects its survivability, weight, and cross-country performance. You can select the era of your tank design which affects the technology, firepower, and material quality you have access to while building. There’s a lot to consider when you want to build a new tank. Few things can match the satisfaction of dreaming up your own tank and building it to completion. It forms the first part of this game’s major gameplay loop and is by far the most feature-complete component of the game. Sprocket’s main draw is its tank builder. Today we’ll be doing an overview of the game and its two major components first the tank builder, then a look at the combat scenarios. It lets you build, drive, and fight against tanks using weapons and technology from the first thirty-odd years of the weapon system’s existence. Sprocket is a sandbox and tank combat simulator released into Steam Early Access late August 2021 by Hamish Dunn. This is the same niche that Sprocket wants to fill with its recent Steam Early Access release, but what is Sprocket ? Both games still enjoy substantial popularity, but their niche is still very much underserved even now. The popularity of MMO-wargames such as World of Tanks and War Thunder has raised interest in military history since the 2010s.
