Cant build a single tank anymore

[Bae Watch]

With the starting components, it's impossible to build a tank—the power-to-weight ratio prevents it before adding even a single gun. I rush through research to unlock usable components, but when I finally build a tank, it's incompatible with buyer requirements, and no one is interested.

What happened?

What year are you in? I'm in 1930 and can build a huge variety of tanks

1914 start like i said: With the starting components you cannot build a single tank.

Show me screenshots of your builds in 1914 or screen of your very first tank and if you changed components, please also screen.

Ok? This is basic first tank you can assemble of the components already unlocked.

I just did that with no issue - are you sure you are not trying to assemble a tank with a too weak engine? What exactly are you trying to build?

Brah really, how do you plant two male gun holds plus two naval guns plus a mg. Show me the picture where you dont have a weight overload.

With that setting you get 4 defects

Obstical trench width
transportability
operational range
road speed

and a 5th in running gear

Not even talking about the crew requirements. 5/4/10/8/10

with a maximum crew of 5 people.

So? Most tank designs have defects when you first design them. Take the tank to the proving ground like everyone else does. After the proving ground is complete you can correct the defects, your post is a complete non-issue.

Do you think every tank design ever made in history started out perfect and that problems didn't have to be troubleshooted and fixed?

You are playing a game that requires you to use your brain a little bit. I suggest you start doing that

You are not going to make a perfect tank without any flaws straight out of design phase. That has been true for looong time now. Bourke has explained how you fix the flaws.
On off chance that you are a reading type of fellow - I have even made a guide with pictures explaining how to play the game - head to the guide section on the workshop.

You can also have much more than 5 people in a Mark I tank and crew members can split their responsibilities on two tasks (e.g. Mechanic and Gunner).

Hi Bae Watch

I can see that you already got some advice, hope it helps.
Just in the case, what lvl of difficulty you are playing and on what year is your design rejected?

On easy, medium and..probably even hard, the start-up design should be OK for starting "Vanguard" type contracts

If you are still experiencing troubles , feel free to send us your save file and description of the potential "bug".

Good luck

I played on the hardest and with the starting components you can indeed make a tank that sells. So yes, it works on hard even.

Edit:
I usually make two variants, one with male sponson and a armor plate on the other side, and a second variant with the female sponson and an armor plate. This way you can satisfy all early game contracts.
