You know what, I can totally see someone making this in The Sunshine State. I've been living in Florida since 2010 and I've seen some crazy stuff, this not being one...YET.
Actually, these would have been very useful at attacking surfaced submarines as compared to the normal rockets of the day back in WW2. Very nicely done
@OtakuNekoToT, I would suggest you decrease the strength of the springs you used and instead increase the strength of the dampeners. It would also help if you angled the front landing gear further down to give your helicopter more ground clearance as it seems to me that it's smacking the nose-first into the ground before the wheels ever touch
All I can think of when I see this is Gabriel Igglesias's massive collection of these VW busses he's got and one of them being a fish tank. Well done sir!
Ok, this is a pretty nice tutorial on how to make a basic stabilizer. I never started to add a counterweight to my guns until a few months ago but it's nice to see that newer players will now know to do so. However, will you make a tutorial on how to make a two-plane stabilizer?
@MrGreen, would you allow modern MBTs at all, or would they have to be made to fit into one of the categories you made? I've got an MBT that I think would to well
@scratch, T, and the whole set, please. My god, this is the best train I've seen on the site yet with working pistons, connecting rods, and a functional world. It's like owning a real train set, just much less expensive
@scratch
T, you really have outdone yourself with this mod so far. I've always liked trains and this is the most realistic engine I've seen on the site for a long time
@TheEnglishPanzer
Well, I did modify it. I upgraded your stabilizer so that works better with heavier guns and I replaced your cannon with a custom one I made based on the Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore cannon but it's an L/60 so the velocities are even greater than even the current L/55 used on the Leopard 2's. The rangefinder issue is still present though but I like the design of it and if you added modern heavy ERA to it like the BAE Systems upgraded for the M60, then I think this could stand a chance
I also made a more reasonable version with a 90mm Cockerill low-pressure cannon which may not be realistic considering when a tank like this would have been designed, but its a nice idea and would be the one to most likely work with the breach block you made
Hmm, the turret looks like it could be a prototype of the M48 or M60 except with a good two-plane stabilizer for the gun. Wonder what this would be like to fight against a T-62 or 64?
Wow, you were not kidding. This thing really is ugly as sin; it looks like if you took a catfish, gave it clipped Mig-21 wings, and called it a plane. The front end looks more like a catfish than the F-100 somehow
@SPMTB, thanks. I've been playing this game since 2014-15 and I've gotten good at understanding how the physics work so this wasn't too hard. The only thing I struggle with still is paneling to create custom shapes as I simply don't have the patience to do so
Um @SPMTB, I asked you before if we were allowed to use mods and you said yes as you were doing the tournament on PC. I could if you wanted me to but that would mean that I would have an entry after the posted time. I also tried to do so after the fact and my rear control surfaces were all connected to the engines so if I remove them, I would have to completely redo the rear end
Hey @SPMTB, got a question regarding entering. Is posting the plane we created enough to be entered or do we have to make a Challonge account and register to enter? I'd rather not have another website that I have to remember the login info for
Oh, good lord, this thing is small. I remember seeing an Italian LC/33 and thinking that must have been cramped and this might be worse. Yet somehow Nicholas Moran fits inside one of these things, all 6'4" of him. Lovely replica as well, nice job
Hmm, who shrunk down the German heavy cruiser/battleship turrets and stuck it on a tank?
+3Oh god, my RX6900 XT is crying from the partcout! Curse you Unity for not using multi-core!
+1I'd imagine this thing with a jet would have been a decent aircraft
Thomas is that you!
+1T

@Vincent, ya heard of the Plastikov before?
@bjac0, I can see where the effort went in. Well fking done sir!
So this is more or less an AMX-50 B with a squished hull, modern optics, and the AMERICA machine gun treatment. I like it
+1Ok, that interior is actually pretty nice. I don't have the patience to create individual breach blocks and this is one of the nicer ones I've seen
@WingsOfSteel, thanks for correcting me. I thought this tank being a pseudo-germanic tank, a bottle of schnaps made more sense to me
@WingsOfSteel, nice job with the tank man! I just noticed the small bottle of schnaps on the cupola, nice detail
The one-man that even Iosif Stalin feared. This is a man who you do not want to fk with!
+2All I can think of when I see this is Gabriel Igglesias's massive collection of these VW busses he's got and one of them being a fish tank. Well done sir!
Why am I not surprised that the VTuber community is now invading Simple Planes? I ain't complaining though, keep going
+1Holy ERA blocks Batman. This has got more ERA than T-80!
+3T, the quality of these engines just impresses me more and more as time goes on. This is like a childhood dream come true
+1@TankerWithATankard, Oh I know how to make them already. I'm just wondering if you were going to make one for the newer players
+1Ok, this is a pretty nice tutorial on how to make a basic stabilizer. I never started to add a counterweight to my guns until a few months ago but it's nice to see that newer players will now know to do so. However, will you make a tutorial on how to make a two-plane stabilizer?
+1Haha, stealth hog go brrrrrrrrt!
+1This looks like an advanced training aircraft to me, and a good one at that
@scratch, that face is terrifying without the eyes! It's like a Thomas creepypasta come to life
+1So something like the Stryker MGS? Nice!
+2@scratch, thanks for letting me know. I downloaded both rolling stocks already and the map itself is beautiful. Nice job man
+2@MrGreen, would you allow modern MBTs at all, or would they have to be made to fit into one of the categories you made? I've got an MBT that I think would to well
@scratch, where is the engine itself then?
@scratch, T, and the whole set, please. My god, this is the best train I've seen on the site yet with working pistons, connecting rods, and a functional world. It's like owning a real train set, just much less expensive
+1@scratch, well it still looks great nonetheless. Can't wait for this to come out
Hey @scratch, is your engine by any chance based on an E2 tank engine by chance?
This is absolutely based. This is truly, a weapon to surpass metal gear!
+1Well, this thing looks like a Halo Skorpion MBT but better. Basically a battleship on tracks or a modernized P.1000 Ratte
+1@scratch
+2T, you really have outdone yourself with this mod so far. I've always liked trains and this is the most realistic engine I've seen on the site for a long time
@scratch, do you have an idea when you're going to release the engine itself?
@TheEnglishPanzer
Well, I did modify it. I upgraded your stabilizer so that works better with heavier guns and I replaced your cannon with a custom one I made based on the Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore cannon but it's an L/60 so the velocities are even greater than even the current L/55 used on the Leopard 2's.

+1Hey @SPMTB, does the entry have to be a successor to this post or can we just tag you in the post of the updated aircraft?
Well, I didn't know that pigeons could assert dominance over us. T-posing in the designer, nice meme
@THEYE
That's the pull cord for an ejection seat in what I believe is a Gloster Meteor. I think you can figure out the rest
@RandomUser09
I did mention the F-100 for a reason. Why did so many early Cold War jets look like fish though with their gopping air intakes?
Wow, you were not kidding. This thing really is ugly as sin; it looks like if you took a catfish, gave it clipped Mig-21 wings, and called it a plane. The front end looks more like a catfish than the F-100 somehow

Oh god, the part count of this! What kinda PC do you have!?
+3Thanks, @SPMTB, then I can say for sure that I'm going to enter. I've had my plane ready for a while but now I might as well post it
Hey @SPMTB, got a question regarding entering. Is posting the plane we created enough to be entered or do we have to make a Challonge account and register to enter? I'd rather not have another website that I have to remember the login info for
Hmm, HTTYD riders when? I'd love to see an actual gliding Hiccup or have them on their dragons
+2Oh, good lord, this thing is small. I remember seeing an Italian LC/33 and thinking that must have been cramped and this might be worse. Yet somehow Nicholas Moran fits inside one of these things, all 6'4" of him. Lovely replica as well, nice job
+2Dang, this is a really nice IFV. Love the side paneling you did
