@BryanO5 As of now, I plan to make mobile friendly versions of my older ships (USS Texas, USS Arizona, HMS Dreadnought, USS Oklahoma) as these are the least mobile friendly of my builds plus I'm very obsessed with ships recently. I'm not sure if other older builds (let's call them "pre BMS builds") will have mobile friendly versions because as far as I know, most of them are not that problematic (they are usually not large is size and only a few of them have part counts above 600)
As for future builds: every new build I make will be tested on my phone and if it can't run them, then a mobile friendly version of it will be made. At least that's the plan but I will try to follow that plan, starting with the USS Oklahoma mobile friendly version which will be published in a few days
@ThatOneThiccPlaneStealer Back when I built this I misread the name of the island to be Karkaboa, but later when I noticed the mistake, I decided to leave it like this and not change it :)
I think your builds are the absolute best use of funky trees, I don't even know how can you make these very complicated inputs but you are absolutely amazing in it. Don't care about haters who say your stuff is bad just because it's anime. I personally actually like the anime characters you made, not because I like anime anyways but because of how well you build them, they actually look like they just stepled out of an anime and they look great, well built. But again, those who say your builds are bad just because of the exterior design are clearly haters and you shouldn't consider them as valid criticism, because those comments come from their personal hatred against anime and not against your build. Keep up with your work, many of us love what you do and always waiting to see what you create next, so ignore the haters. You are a great builder! Don't care about what haters say, build whatever you want :D
As for your question about the word weeb: it was initially created (it came from the word "weaboo" which means the same but "weeb" is shorter) to refer to people who are obsessed with japanese culture in a really disrespectful way. Note that weeb =/= anime fan. Many people like to confuse the two and refer to anime fans as weebs but that is wrong. There's nothing bad with liking manga and anime, there's also nothing wrong with liking japanese culture. The problem is when a person is so overly obsessed with japanese culture (without having any actualy knowledge about it) that they become annoying, weird and also become disrespectful towards it because they have no real knowledge about it. By definition, a japanese person can't even be a weeb because japanese usually have a general sense about their own culture and don't became ignorant idiots like the actual weebs in other countries.
So by basic, weeb is a negative word, and there's nothing bad with that as long as it is used correctly, on the people it should be used on: people who aren't just obsessed with japanese culture but are so crazy about it that they get annoyimg and disrespectul against japanese culture.
Also your question about the meaning of anime outside of japan. Well, from what I can tell, anime for people outside of japan usually either means those specific, japanese made, unique style (big "anime eyes", big heads etc.) animated motion pictures, but it also sometimes used to refer to the style itself (say if there's a video game that also has this specific design, we call it an "anime game"). Manga is usually differentiated from anime but there are people who often call mangas as "animes" because they don't know/care it has different name.
But in general, we refer to stuff as anime that are: made in japan, has this specific drawing style/design, has those usual clichés and character types/story elements (big robots, cat girls, story takes place in Japan etc.)
@Tang0five they marked battleship divisions and individual battleships so that friendly planes can more easily identify them from the sky. The forward two turrets marked the battleship division (div. 1 was red, div. 2 was white div. 3 was blue, div. 4 was black, div. 5 was yellow) while turret number 4 marked the ship itself.
For Example, Arizona, Nevada and Oklahoma were part of Battleship Div. 1 and as such, their number 1 and 2 turrets were painted red (with each one of them having different colored number 4 turrets according to their sections: Arizona's No.4 turret was red as she was the division's lead ship, Nevada's No.4 turret was white, Oklahoma's No.4 turret was blue)
Similarly, ships of Battleship Div. 2-3-4-5 all had different colors on their No.1 and No.2 turrets (for example, USS Tennessee was the lead ship of Div. 2, so her forward turrets were white while her number 4 turret was red)

I found a little bug. Whenever I create a custom location and restart the game there, the destroyers in the docks (the modern destroyer plus one of the ww2 destroyers, the one closer to the sea) go nuts: they multiply into themselves and then glitch into random directions because of it.
Well, this is just my opinion but for me, it's okay if they take parts of my build or even the entire build and modify and upload them, as long as they don't claim it as theirs and credit me in the description. It doesn't have any practical use, but the meaning behind it is important to me. That they acknowledge the fact that I built that part (or the whole thing) originally. I know the auto-credit system is there for this reason, but when someone writes into the description "Original author is BMilan, I just modified xy part" or "xy part is built by BMilan, I built the rest" it feels good because it shows they aren't trying to steal what I worked on for hours, days, weeks.
And I think this even applies to "Free to take" posts. If somene takes a "Free to take" post, they should at least give some credit to the original author. It's a sign of respect in my eyes.
The stripes you put on the wing are allied invasion stripes, they were used by the american and british airforces to indicate they are allied planes, the germans never used these.
Putting memes aside, this actually made me wondering from a game developer pointo of view. If Mojang made a Minecraft 2, what kind of improvements, new ideas could they possibly put into it, that original doesn't/couldn't have, to make it new and fresh? The original game's almost full potential has been exploited throughout the recent years by updates, mods, etc. so Minecraft 2 would have to take a huge turn to bring something new, imo.
@Strikefighter04 exactly, and others dont even get a chance to at least buy it for golden eagle or something, only mayve get it during events. Damn gaijin
Be creative, think of a vehicle you always wanted to drive, or a vehicle you really really like. I can't really understand people who "run out of ideas" in simpleplanes, while I'm standing here with 10+ unfinished projects and ideas I haven't started building yet. Is it really that easy to not to know what you want to build in a game where you can build literally anything? But if you really can't decide, here's an idea:
Turn on the TV and build the first vehicle you see in it
Good luck! ;)
Awesome! Congrats to WNP78!
Also you should pick more modders into the team because some of them are making god level mods that should be in the vanilla game
Dude at least give some credit in the description to Weaverfish because he made the original plane

Holy Morgan Freeman. This is awesome! All those new features. Gosh... aaaaand looks like I gotta remake the USS Beast again * sigh *, but hey it looks fantastic and has new features! Amazing job guys! 😀
@Irobert55 actually, this isn't an RPG. The term 'RPG' (rocket propelled grenade) is only used to handheld weapon systems (e.g. Panzerfaust, RPG-7 etc.) This tank is officially a "Sturmmörserwagen" (assault mortar vehicle) and it's gun is designated as a Raketen-werfer (rocket launcher)
So yea this isn't a panzerfaust because that's the name of a handheld device.
@Jetliner101 The LVT-4 Water Buffalo was an amphibious tracked vehicle (LVT = Landing Vehicle Tracked) used mainly by the USMC (but the US Army used it too) during WWII. The LVT was able to carry troops, supllies and even smaller vehicle such as Jeeps. My build tries to represent the latter one. So yes, it a tank that swims and carries a Jeep which it can unload on land.
@JamesBleriot Yes, I hid seven types of viruses into this build, your device is full of malwares now.
Putting sarcasm away, what do you think can be the problem on my end? Or what do you think did I do wrong here? It's really funny that you blame me because your device is too weak to run this. Btw part count is not always a determining factor, size can be too. A 50 part build can crash a game too if it's big enough (I tried building a real size Statue of Liberty once and when I was at somewhere around 50 part, the game crashed cuz it was so big) so no, the problem is on your end, your device simply can't handle big stuff with many parts, that's it.
@ThePilotDude I fixed it now, the original sentence was supposed to be a small reference to the game 'Rising Storm 2: Vietnam' (which inspired me to make this) as in the game when a vietnamese soldier taunts he often shouts this.
@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)
@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
@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
This amazing! you are an absolute genius!
