Nice vehicle, but not quite BM-21-like. It's too low. Real BM-21 has its cabin over the gearbox, and is quite tall. It's mounted on Ural-375 truck. Hood should be as tall as it is wide, approximately. Hood is also too long. It gives a feel of a large pickup truck, not an off-road beast.
How does ccooper qualify for the list? Arrogant, upvote-mining noob that traded for upvotes until community took action. He mined upvotes from low ranking users in exchange for support.
Flaps always point down. They are not pitch control surfaces. Their job is to increase lift by adding chamber to the wing profile at the cost of drag. The plane you got is not realistically designed. Probably some kind of artists idea of what a supersonic airliner is supposed to look like. CoL would be too far back. Those wings are copied from a conventional airliner, so surfaces you have marked would be flaps.
If I ever want to blow something up, I'll put my laptop under it, tell it to download and run this build, and run like hell. But judging by the pictures, it's a great ship. Outstanding attention to details, accurate overall shape, good choice of colors. Would you mind posting a gallery of pictures of this ship in action (on Imgur or other image hosting service) and liking it here? I'd love to see more.
Why delete account? You might have overworked lately, and inspiration has dried up. Let it replenish. And there's no reason to doubt your builds. They are very nice.
Very nice, especially for your level. I see quite a few details on it. Only advice I can give you is related to posting planes. Take time to write a description, and use all three screenshots you can for upload.
@Thederpingmemes iOS devices can't use mods. You can have 24x10THz processor, and iOS would still not support mods. iOS doesn't support changing files, and adding mods is changing files.
Realistic water simulation is both difficult to make (due to actual water physics) and difficult for the processor to run. I don't think any of our mod makers are capable of doing it, especially not for free.
Eh, where should I start? Torpedo, attacher (opposite of detacher), gyroscope, modern cannon, BogdanX's suggestion, better dummy (better than what we used to have long ago), glass, rope (flexible), leaf spring, cyclic option on rotator (custom rotator, would be useful to propell vehicles using your tracks mod), drive wheel for tracks mod, big rocket pod (rapid firing), road wheels for tracks,... I'm out of ideas for now. I know most of these are still beyond your capabilities, but if you make those that you can, it would be great.
PS: I almost forgot, triangular cross-section resizable fuselage block with editable corners.
Excellent build, both in terms of looks and in terms of performance. It lacks a bit of drag so it's quite reluctant to lose speed when landing, but other than that she was a pleasure to fly. Cockpit could use some work. I had a bit of trouble finding the switches in the dark. Overall a very nice plane.
@ShinyGemsBro yup. Since the cannon with its many customization options was my idea, I was asked to provide a stock vehicle to demonstrate it. Turning my APC into a self-propelled mortar system was the best I could do in the short time I had.
Classic UR, making a ship with more parts than a real one would have XD
It looks beautiful. I suggest adding some more pictures for those who can't run it (which is most of us).
Why didn't you post it as unlisted then? That feature was made specifically so you can share your build between devices and have hidden online backups.
@LJh1 I disagree. A low ranking user with a good build that is not based on an existing one usually grows quickly.
@Hafidz333 try spending some time to make builds that can compete with the best. And not by just editing existing builds. Learn how it's done and make something actually good. Builds that score well generally look like real planes, have very realistic performance, interesting features, innovative techniques... You have blocky planes and edits of other people's builds. If you're aiming for upvotes, frankly, the only advice I can give is "git gud".
Sincerely, someone who reached platinum less than three months after making an account.
Very nice build, though it has a few minor issues. Cameras all auto-center, which makes looking at the levers you want to operate nearly impossible on PC. I'd also recommend using a button to open the door instead of a lever.
The plane rolls to the right due to CoM being offset to the right. Fixing CoM might actually have adverse effect though, as drag is also off-center. I'd suggest building without drag on all parts, and then adding drag to only one or to large parts on the centerline to avoid that problem on future builds. Also, trim does almost nothing. Trim authority should be somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of the pitch authority.
On the positive note, the build is beautifully sculpted, smooth, everything works, wings are very nice... Overall, I enjoyed flying it.
@Kangy I guess it would be more like a competition with monetary reward for one or two mods that get added to the game annually. People would keep making mods, and the best ones would get a reward that's not just internet points that everyone with any kind of skill to their name stopped caring about years ago.
Besides, if you're gonna be making mods for SP, you probably already have SP and don't need a steam key. Alternative would be gift cards.
@IceCraftGaming it is very easy to keep a server SFW. On my own server, PortSP, posting NSFW content results in an immediate permanent ban, Admin involvement in conversations encourages more professional tone, and server is of the kind where peoole really don't want to get banned.
This is a beautiful build. It flies very well, behaves like an airship, weapons are functional...
It is under-detailed. If your device can run more parts, I suggest going all out on this concept. If not, perhaps build a smaller one so you can detail it.
Either way, I enjoyed playing with this build. Cheers.
@BluestBoi this challenge template has been developed by me years ago, and has since been copied by pretty much every successful challenge. If you don't like it, you don't have to participate.
Besides, while I would accept criticism of a fellow veteran player, I will not accept it from someone who hasn't even seen a fraction of this community yet, or explored one hundredth of the possibilities this game has to offer.
Nice upgrade to the landing gear.
I advise against covering wings with fuselage blocks like that. Control surfaces clipping through is considered more of a noob move than naked wings. You can experiment with one of many custom wing techniques that actually give good looking wings. here's mine.
Custom wings still need wing parts inside them. Control surfaces on them are usually done with hinges moving a sculpted fuselage piece with a small wing hidden inside it, or by having custom surfaces empty and using stock control surfaces.
If you go with stock control surfaces on hidden wings, scale the wing thinner so control surfaces move less and don't clip out of the custom wing body.
You really ought to experiment with traction settings of single wheels. You're making some really nice builds, and these twin wheels are just taking away from them.
I have finally tested it. It looks as good up close as it does in the screenshots. Suspension is quite stiff for this kind of vehicle though, and you should invest into FT engine inputs that allow both realistic acceleration and good hill climbing.
This XML features will be very useful. I've been waiting for them for a while now. Thanks dev team.
+3Most users would just give up after receiving no attention on the first post. You went and made it better instead. Good job.
+3This is political content, which is against rules. It is also a zero effort code build, using WNP78s code.
+3Remind me to fly it tomorrow, please. I can't do it now. It looks great.

+3Very imaginative. I love the idea. Make more stuff out of household items :)
+3Unfortunately, I can't accept a fighter as an entry to a trainer challenge. Still, looks nice.
+3- step one: make sure you are competent. If you can't build a good entry for your own challenge, you can't rate entries on such a challenge;
- step two: make a set of rules, requirements, and judging criteria. Write them down on an unlisted post, so you can just copy and paste them;
- step three: make a build, 2D or 3D, that shows what the challenge is about and post it;
- step four: edit the description of the challenge post to show all the rules, rewards, judging criteria...
- step five: wait until the deadline you gave is up;
- step six: rate entries and give rewards. It should take you two to three days, few hours a day for that.

Why not add Malyutka missiles? Our gazelles are compatible with Malyutka missiles. Also, with Kornet missiles now after the modernization.

Hey look! A Wolfy build! Looks great mate, I just love the wood in the cockpit.
+2I have finally tested it. It looks as good up close as it does in the screenshots. Suspension is quite stiff for this kind of vehicle though, and you should invest into FT engine inputs that allow both realistic acceleration and good hill climbing.
+2Credit for the original build would be greatly appreciated. As per the rules, you should give it.
+2I don't really mind, but others could.
