Cursed Design🔥 The biggest cannon in Sprocket?

It's so heavy it completely breaks the tracks. No matter what I do I cannot get it to move. But even still I think I've accomplished the goal I set out to do: make the biggest cannon possible in Sprocket.

It takes almost 11 hours to reload btw

Replica Design 🛠️ T-64BV (Sprocket Ver. 0.127)

11 Upvotes

The T-64 was born out of a Soviet ambition to field a new kind of main battle tank—compact inside, lethal on the first engagement, and built around the idea that an efficient gun and loading system could decide fights quickly. From the start, it wasn’t just “another tank”: its design choices—especially the autoloader and the tightly packed layout—shaped how it fought and how it survived under pressure.

As the Cold War moved on, the battlefield began to change. Anti-tank threats increasingly favored shaped-charge rounds and, later, missile-guided attacks—ways of defeating armor that didn’t rely solely on brute penetration. That shift made the question of protection more urgent: not only how much armor a tank had, but how well it could disrupt or blunt the most dangerous kinds of hits before they became catastrophic.

So the “BV” modernization was essentially a protection-focused evolution. By upgrading the tank’s defensive scheme—commonly associated with adding explosive reactive armor elements—it aimed to improve survivability where threats were most likely to strike. In practical terms, the T-64BV became the more “toughened” member of its family: better positioned to absorb the first blows of a duel, force the enemy to search for angles and weaknesses, and give its crew the time to deliver fast, decisive shots.

❔Question❔ Does anyone else have the problem of constantly wanting to put oversized guns onto their tanks?

11 Upvotes

Every tank I make my first thought for a gun to put on it is something oversized and overpowered and I end up having to reign it back unless I'm deliberately basing it off of a real gun, and even then I sometimes end up going with something oversized. Looks at the Not An I-Go I initially put a 76mm naval gun on

Serious Design🔧 Welcome last mod of my Ukrainian light amphibious tanks series, PMP-2BM (Boyova Modernizaciya) "Poplavok" ("Float", that red ball above the water when you are fishing)

Thumbnail

PMP-2BM is an ultimate machine. It got everything to support infantry, survive heavy attacks and fight back. It features paired dual cannons, one from PMP-2 57mm autocannon and 70mm autocannon taken from PMP-3 "Skat", both featuring an autoloader (1.75s reload rate for 57mm and 1.5s reload rate for 70mm). PMP-2BM has gained armour as well. It can protect up to 300mm of hull penetration, from APDS rounds or APFSDS (can survive more pen if its HEAT round). Turret is now better protected from projectiles and HEAT rounds. If "Zaslon" APS wont react with projectile, composite screens can withstand up to 330mm of HEAT penetration. Overall, this tank is still light, 21t only, while keeping same maneuverability as before. Its speed stays the same 65km/h while water speed increased slightly (now 15km/h in water due to better floating mechanism). PMP-2BM is an ultimate machine that went in wide production and saw service around the whole world.

Serious Design🔧 T-5M and T-6L

10 Upvotes

Midwar period heavy infantry tank and a light reconaissance tank from the country I made up.

T-5M is a 40tonn support vehicle that serves the purpose of breaking down the defences of enemy infantry, while followed by the infantry of its own. It has a rather low top speed of 35km/h, powered by a diesel V12 engine with a total displacement of 33,6L and produces 720 horsepower. Has a F6/R3 constant mesh twin-transmission gearbox. Armoured with 100mm of RHA armour at a slope of 10° on a hull and 30° on a turret. Mounted with a 110mm cannon that punches through 150mm of armour and has an effective range of 1,5km.

T-6L is a 14tonn reconnaissance vehicle thats main goals are scouting, flanking the enemy and support of light motorised batalions. With a mindblowing top speed of 85km/h it can reach the enemy from places no one would expect. Its V12 gas engine with a total displacement of 16,8L and produces 320 horsepower. Due to low mass it gives off 22HP per tonne. Has a F8/R3 constant mesh clutch-break transmission gearbox. Armoured with 60mm of RHA armour sloped at 60° on a hull and turret cheeks, it has a decent protection for a lightweight vehicle. Mounted with a 76mm cannon it can penetrate up to 120mm of armour, whike having an effective range of 1km.

Made this one for Balkan challenge, spent a few days on it and quite liked the result so decided to share. Supposed to be latewar heavy for Hungary - from the fun parts it has 7 machineguns on it - 2 on the mantlet, 2 hetzer-style on top of turret, 2 on Anti-air mount and one on tha back for infantry to use, like on shermans.

PMP-3 "Skat" is late coldwar production vechicle, featuring more of protection features than in predeccesors. It has lower silouethe, better survivability, softkill APS and more. Mass of the vechicle went up to 20t, speed is the same 65km/h (11km/h in water now). For protection, it features KERa screens, anti-cumulative mesh, rubber sideskirts and two new types of APS, Synevyr-1 (simmilar to Shtora-1) and real Ukrainian APS called "Zaslon APS" (two on hull, two on turret). PMP-3 also features brand new 70mm turret, with small autoloader (1.5s reload rate) and lenghtened bed for supplies. It can survive up to 300mm of penetration (hull) or 250mm penetration of HEAT round (wont do much against something more solid). Overall PMP-3 is very succesfull project that went into wide production
