(I accidentally leaked a bit of the info about this plane… because I was really sleepy. Sorry.)
INFO: Inspired by TheOwlAce's Ar. 76 and Squirrel's SB-9, this is the final silver build I made. To save space, and to keep my obsession with turboprops, I made a huge water-based, contra-rotating blade aircraft. This ginormous plane is also an addition to the M.W. naval series, sitting next to the M.W. 448. This plane is impressively fast for it’s size and very cool, too. This plane can reach up to 500 Mph and carries 16 boom 50s. As much as I hated this feature, I needed to place the bombs externally mainly because XML was acting up and the bombs decided to stick on walls that they were not supposed to stick to.
ARMAMENT: Nose gunner: x2 12.7mm machine guns Waist gunners: x1 12.7mm machine gun Tail gunner: x2 12.7mm machine guns Top gunner: x1 12.7mm machine gun x16 boom 50s
CREW: 19
Even though this twelve engined beauty is fast and armed to the teeth, there are some flaws. One: be careful when taking off on land. The vertical stabilizers can hit the ground and tear off.
Two: While flying at over 200mph, do not pitch up and down quickly, the wings will snap/explode. Try taking your time and leave at least 1-2 seconds before making a sharp pitch maneuver.
Good luck pilots, and happy flying!

@Squirrel ..No I just add flaps onto a normal wing. I don't normally use structural wings.
@Mostly It's cool, I was just really confused to get a notification only for that plane to be deleted, so I suspected some "suspicious activity", which it seems isn't the case.
.
Also, regarding the wings snapping off on you build, do you use a structural wing then enable control surfaces in the XML file (or use the overload mod)?
The same happened to my ME-262. I gave credit to the person who made the fuselage but even though I changed the cockpit, It came up as a successor.@Squirrel
@Squirrel I deleted the SB-9 and started over. I didn't press 'new aircraft' because I thought if you change the cockpit, it would not longer be a successor of that aircraft. This plane had nothing to do whatsoever from that plane. Nothing was intentionally 'copied' from that plane, but the size of the plane gave some inspiration.. I'll give credit and i'm sorry if I broke the rules but I never intended to have it a successor of any plane in the first place. I'll delete if you want me to.
What I don't get though is how I broke the rules by having the plane similar to yours. I feel like you're saying if someone made a P-51, then someone makes some fictional aircraft with minor similarities for example the size or fuselage shape. It was only when it was a successor they would find/acknowledge the similarities. So I have a question. Had I not made it a successor, would you still think it was a rule-breaker because of minor similarities?
@Mostly ohh i see
@Mostly, I got a notification saying that a plane you uploaded was a successor to my SB-9, but it's now been deleted and this seems to have been uploaded in it's place.
.
Granted the plane doesn't look a lot like my SB-9, but there are some similarities and I assume you have voided in this instance, which is technically against the site rules. However, before any further action is taken, I'd like to get your side of the story and your motives behind your decision to upload this plane in place of the successor one.
@TheOwlAce This plane was partly inspired by your Ar. 76 seaplane.
