Personally, I found this ship kinda lame in the movie. It’s such an obvious space copy of a B-17 to the extent that I was bored during it’s scenes. I like looking at original starships, not bland copies.
Please don’t take that as an insult to your build, I think it’s fantastic, but I just wanted to express my opinion on the ship scenes in the movie.
I can agree, it’s hard to get noticed on the site. Everybody just goes to highest rated, me included. I’ve been making an attempt to check new posts too.
@TheGuyYouMightKnow I’ve seen some pretty lackluster stuff at the highest ranking spot. That was years ago, but now quality has improved to make builds like that less appealing. At the same time, sadly it makes it harder for new players to enter.
I removed buoyancy from the central part and added 3 fuselage blocks. Two on the sides for stability and one in the rear to help with pitching. I also added 3 VTOL nozzles, two steer and one is for forwards movement only. Hopefully this helps.
@TMach5 I had a feeling that it was that, but I’ve had that turned off and had no issues with missiles before. I’ll have to remember that for future ships, thanks!
@EternalDarkness thanks! I’ve taken inspiration from numerous Russian ships that I fight in Cold Waters, and I wanted to make an American themed design. I’m glad you like the strike capability, I set out to make an air defense oriented ffg, but it morphed into a multi-role ship
@aguy the main gun fires chaff and flares, but sadly the other weapons don’t work. I tried to, but I don’t have a way to fit missiles inside at a reasonable size and not drown in water

+3I came here expecting some Ferrari jabs, wasn’t disappointed.
+2That steering wheel looks perfect. Perhaps Kimi needs it...
+2Been here since January ‘15. I remember when the best planes on the site were just cubes
+2Every now and then I check in on SP and SR is still going strong... wow
+1@50Airworks you deserve credit too. Thanks for making a great hull for use!

Created a successor aircraft.

Give this to Williams and they will win all day!

@Stratus tried to help you with your destroyer
Uploaded a successor, hopefully it works.
Fantastic plane to fly
Hello again @DeezDucks !
@TMach5 I had a feeling that it was that, but I’ve had that turned off and had no issues with missiles before. I’ll have to remember that for future ships, thanks!
@TMach5 hmm... I tested it right before I put it up and it worked. Was it a one-off or a repeated thing?
Sailing is something I wish I could learn to do.
@FlyingHonda27 killin’ em with sugar!
@EternalDarkness thank you

@CrashFighter05 we all gotta start somewhere;)
My first build was a boat launcher, and I still love building contraptions and prototypes for fun
@Strikefighter04 I love that story. It so uplifting and motivating
@aguy the main gun fires chaff and flares, but sadly the other weapons don’t work. I tried to, but I don’t have a way to fit missiles inside at a reasonable size and not drown in water
It looks like The Ropucha was brought to the 21st century in a fantastic fashion
@50Airworks you’ll have to ask eternal Darkness on that topic, he’s the one who came up with it I believe.
@Ephwurd thanks!
@50Airworks no problem, I was hoping it would show up as a successor, but I had around 4 different unlisted uploads.
@Stellarlabs https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/532252/ISCBGWater-1
Happy to help!

Trim is needed, but it fires rockets and is more stable
I tried my hand at helping you. You should be notified
@Tang0five thanks!
Very satisfying
@LBYSteven that is very true!
Ropucha... isn’t that Soviet? I’ve sunk so many in cold waters.
I love seeing these things in Cold Waters. They’re just massive, and it astonishes me every time.
@WalrusAircraft I love Clancy's style. It's easy for me to picture whats going on. Plus, the characters are always well planned and realistic
I love it
It's fitting that I just read Red Storm Rising!
Looks great, I have no clue what any of the controls listed do!
The rudder is actually responsive, and not wiggly like a lot of other planes I've seen! Excellent work
Excellent controls
What about the quarterback? If you really want glamor... "Offensive Guard"
Now that's outta the system, I like the look especially, fits a bomber perfectly
