@Multidimensional Excuse me? I hardly see how any of my points are incorrect here. This argument has already passed, there is no rank superiority here, Bogdan literally meant that as a joke.
@DeezDucks That is the plan, I have a tower but it needs upgrade. Will likely be able to work on it in the next four-five months. Will just have to see but till then, I'll stick with what Im good at.
@TheOwlAce Maybe you could try investing in building your own pc? You can get admirable results for 500 or 600 dollars. I personally had a budget of 600 dollars for a pc I'm making. You don't need to spend a lot of money on a computer to make sp run well.
@EternalDarkness Again, I make my planes to the scale of the cockpit and making them that detailed at that scale it tough. And I freaking have, the flying carrier nearly melted my shitty laptop that is the only pc I have. Thats another reason. I could barely run my Poseidon and Zeus flying boat goes at one frame a second.
@TheOwlAce buddy, I have seen 30's and 40's planes on the site having over a thousand parts, detailed interiors, insignia, camo, historically accurate shape, markings, even serial numbers on the tail. Them being WW2 German planes doesn't mean they have to be so plain. Go to Google and search for those tiny details that distinguish those legendary planes, find different markings for them, and make stuff properly. Then you will get positive feedback and tons of upvotes. Also, my average isn't 20 upvotes per post, but around 60, with 50 or less being considered a failure. You want that, fight for it. Earn it with details. Yes, it's difficult, but that's why it gets upvotes.
@TheOwlAce You know if your willing I can help you add some detail to a project of yours. I also stick to very simple camo, compass grey mostly but I try making the plane take up the max width of the screenshot when I post.
@EternalDarkness Most of my aircraft are military, and the base paint job for Germany in 1930-1940's was field grey. This makes this harder to spot in clouds and at night. Some are painted with colors to indicate what unit theyre from. And had you not noticed the flying warships> Massive seaplanes? Trucks, tanks, boats? I have posted hundreds of different aircraft and hundreds of variants that improve on those aircraft. True they might be the same color but its for logisical response. And you guys cant complain when every post you get not you get 20 up votes and pages of comments. Effort has nothing to do with this, I could build something like you do in a years time, in the end put as much effort as when I test my aircraft over and over, tweeking them to their top performances. And detailing with camo is kinda hard at the scale I build, so I have to just use simple paint jobs. And I make up for detail with pushing the unknown, with in the first week I had started working on the idea of a flying carrier with a fighter that can take off and land on it. Today there is now a flying carrier with a flight deck, a mechanic deck, and the ability to launch three aircraft. See where Im getting here?
@TheOwlAce I mostly agree with @DeezDucks. Most of your builds somewhat look alike, and your "builds" page looks monochrome. Now, let's try to change that. Remember that WWI Challenge Submission? That one had potential. It's got a nice color, and the shape is not bad. You should have devoted a bit more time to the tail, making it more true-to-the-period, added some roundels, wing braces, exhaust pipe, and a few more details. It would have scored at least twice the number of upvotes.
On another point, you accused us, platinum users, of being privileged. Scroll down my "builds" page please, to the very end. You will see the constant progress from one build to another, each one being in some way better than the previous one. My first plane looks like a brick with huge wings. Few planes later, I made a hollow fuselage. Later on, I had custom interiors. I listened to improvement advices from comments, so I dropped enormous wings, and focused more on the exterior. Eventually, I dropped the interiors completely. Those changes in my style, and constant improvement, attracted followers. That got me to Platinum rank in three months, and here where I am now in just one year and two weeks. What I am trying to say is, you need more diversity in your building style in order to go further. Do not take this as an insult please, but as my attempt at giving constructive criticism.
@TheOwlAce Never said I was superior to you, this is simple the general opinion among many of the players I know. Second off, do I sound pricky enough to swear at anyone that responds to forum posts complaining that their not getting the attention they deserve?
@DeezDucks I put in as much as I want. Just because you have a higher stat than me doesnt mean you can tell me what I should do. You really sound like a prick right now.

@DeezDucks Ill figure it out.
@TheOwlAce You can just wait until there'es a big sale on parts. That way you could get 750$ or so worth of parts for a 600$ budget.

@BogdanX Agiant, this is the base paint job. The production model. Painting a plane like that depended on the squadron.
@DeezDucks If you want to.
@TheOwlAce Yeah it's no problem to me.
@DeezDucks Oh...really?
@BogdanX Right but for my Alternate germany the base color is field grey and VIVA LE REVOLUTION!

@TheOwlAce I wish I could ship you as well but there'es probably no one out there ;)

@BogdanX I ship it.@DeezDucks Wanna date?
@TheOwlAce And maybe you should simple ignore the fact that you don't get a lot of attention? Yeah I think not.
@DeezDucks And you should simply ignore my post. Go away.
@TheOwlAce It better be.
@DeezDucks Thats over with.

@TheOwlAce Now's not the time to spew your profanity at me. Also to me it looks like you can put in more.
@DeezDucks I do put effort into them you prick.
