The others already said the gist of it but I want to further reinforce it: upvotes (and the points that come with them) don't matter, they are not correlated with the quality of a build or the builder's skill. A literal block can get dozens if not hundreds of upvotes, while a masterfully crafted plane with every small detail meticulously placed can max out at 5. So I suggest you shouldn't care too much about upvotes or points, just keep building and sharing your creations if you enjoy it. If you ask me, just 10 comments praising one's build is worth far more than even a 100 upvotes.
@ff45 Well, if you are referring to the fact that it handles well on the ocean mod, that's because I used a special wave dampening system that works sort of like a suspension (Credit to ShiroNeko, he came up with the system). The basic idea is to place hinge rotators in the hull and set their input to "Disabled", then put the buoyancy blocks to their tips and use the nudge tool to nudge them away from the rotator (the further you move them, the smoother the system will work and bigger the waves it can handle). Because disabled rotators tend to "bend" a little when too much force is applied to them (such as the case of a very heavy ship) they will allow some amount of up and down movement for the buoyancy blocks, so when the ship hits a wave, it won't immediately jump up but instead the rotator will dampen it like a suspension
Not sure about this but I guess it's connected to the fact that an A13 is not exactly a beefy phone to begin with
SP1 is already abandoned by the devs, there will not be any future updates for it, the devs announced this on the last update of the game.
SP2 will very likely be more demanding performance-wise, as it will have somewhat better graphics than SP1, so if your phone already struggles with SP1, it likely won't get better with SP2.
It's highly unlikely, in fact, I'm certain that SP2 won't require constant internet connection. It would only make sense if the game was multiplayer-only, but SP2 is not going to be multiplayer-only. MP will only be an extra, optional featue, so you are only required internet connection when you do want to use MP or when you want to upload/download planes, but if you just want to build and play alone in the sandbox, that will certainly be possible without internet connection.
@ThomasRoderick Yes, but my depth charges dont go that deep iirc. Or is it not working for you? (for the record, I only tested it on the ocean mod and it worked fine there, I'll test it on the vanilla water when I get home)
As Migfoxhound said, an infinite winch is the best solution for it. If you need more help with it, try contacting @Bogey or examine his carriers, he is (imho) the uncrowned king of these systems
@ThomasRoderick Thanks:) the depth charges are just cannon parts with very low muzzle velocity and custom projectile lifetime to make them explode exactly at the right time and depth
@cooldude321 I included a slightly lower part (2024 instead of 2827) version on the top of the description, give that one a try, hopefully it'll work better. If not, I'm sorry then:(
This was probably my most difficult project so far. Not only I started working on it long before the ship was even announced to be in WoWS (thus I had no 3D model to be a reference), but the ship in general was very obscure and unkown. I also made my job harder by deciding to build her as she was when she was sunk in 1940, which ruled out a lot of photographic reference (as well as the WoWS model too because that shows her as she was built) because she wasn't phtotgraped too much in her final years.
I spent hours google translating french language forums and other sources as english language sources on the ship were scarce. Overall, the research part of this project was quite difficult but I'm very happy I was able to pull it off and I'm very proud of the final build. I hope you guys will enjoy it too:)
@CirrusX I'm glad you like it:) unfortunately, I'm not taking any requests at the moment but I have one more destroyer on my list of plans, a fictional Austro-Hungarian destroyer from WW1 (tho she is not gonna be made any soon either, I want to finish some other projects first)
@YarisSedan Unfortunately, this solution presents some problems too:
1. How could they generate IDs for people who already purchased SP1 (becuase for this system to work, SP1 needs to have this feature too because the devs announced that both games will be using this website), they'd need to confirm all exsiting accounts one-by-one or ask the players to cofirm themselves.
2. Jundroo is a small team and this solution is a niche solution for a niche problem (it's not like the website is currently in anarchy because of a few ban evaders, mods usually deal with them as soon as they become a big enough problem), so Jundroo would probably waste time allocating resources to developing this instead of more important features
3. How could you match up accounts for people who have the game on multiple platforms (for example, I have the game both on Steam and on Android, which would mean I would have 2 IDs, which one would I have to use?)
4. As I said, pirates (and thus alts too) could circumvent this by all using the same one ID that they somehow get their hands on (this can be partially solved by setting a limit to how many accounts on ID can register but then there would probably be some other flaw that Im not thinking of rn) so again, it's a lot of effort for a feature that could still be circumvented if someone is dedicated enough.
Hence why I said that Jundroo will likely never make this. It's far easier to just have the moderator team investigate them case-by-case and try to keep things in check manually
@YarisSedan A sytem like that would be possible by matching the ip addresses (which the mods can already do but they only use it as a last resort to confirm if an account is an alt) but unfortunately, VPN can circumvent even that (hence why mods dont use this too often)
I believe the only solution (and this might be an unpopular solution) would be to add a feature to the game itself where upon purchasing a copy, it generates a unique ID for that copy of the game and this ID would be required for registration (it would be matched against some kind of database so people can't just make one up). This way, mods or even an automated system like the one you described, could easily check if two registered accounts used the same ID for registration thus determine whose alt an account is.
This would probably also deny players with pirated copies from interacting on the website (or, it would turn into an "I'm Spartacus" situation where all the players who use pirated copies would share the same ID) but it would make the website a bit more secure (it would probably also deny all those virus link bots). There would probably be ways to circumvent even this because every system has flaws but it would still somewhat reduce the number of alt related issues. I dont think Jundroo would make something like this tho, because of multiple reasons
@Boeing727200F Also dont forget that using alts to evade bans (so like, if one's main account gets banned and they use an alt account to stay active) is also not allowed. Gotta type this out because recently I've seen way too many users think that if they get banned they can just return with an alt like nothing happened and then be surprised when the mods ban their alts too (and make the original ban's time longer as well)
@Monarchii As Shiro said, there is no FT, it's just a bunch of floppy hinge rotators with 30° range (I limited it to that so it cant fold on itself and the effect looks better that way). I used the same system on all my recent ships' flags, so you can check it out on them too if you dont want to wait until I publish L'Adroit
I have multiple: ShiroNeko, EternalDarkness and LocalDealer, all insanely good ship (and other stuff) builders. MisterT and PlanariaLab for their impressive work with mods and FT respectively. L1nus for his brilliant cars (he has amazing planes too but Im more interested in his cars)
Edit: I just realized this should only be about people who were active this year so I removed Weaverfish, the rest still apply
Yeah, it's been around for some time, my first few ships use flares as secondary weaponry. They are especially useful against the AI fleets because the game doesn't register it as weaponry so the ships wont shoot back when you shoot at them with flares.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Thanks, unfortunately, I don't do auto tag lists simply for the fact that I'd always forget about them lol, sorry about that but follow me or post T on my teaser posts if you wish to be notified about my future builds
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 The Titanic itself is finished but at the moment I have no plans for finishing the sinking version (if that's what you are asking about)
@YarisSedan The FT code is from L1nus (I included this information in the description of both cars btw) so you should ask him for permission. The Pontiac Firebird is also made by L1nus but it's an unreleased build he gave me to make screenshtos with.
@kaidenmcateer I just tested it on my computer and I didn't experience any such glitch (I don't have VR so I can't test it in VR but I asked someone to test it back when before it was uploaded and they didn't have any problem with it either) so sorry, I can't help
@Jsoeidm2 I added it, have fun with it!
