You will never create a masterpiece, let alone get anywhere on this site if you don't have these two things: Patience, and Persistence. I was a noob as well, I built so so planes at first. Now I'm platinum and have found my place. If you're not willing to be patient yet persistent you won't get anywhere.
And GuyFolk's advice is great advice too, follow that. But most important in my opinion is the two P's. Practice makes perfect, and you'll learn to get better, but it'll take at least 2 years by my estimation.
@AWESOMENESS360 Oh! Well I am not wholly informed on that, though I might recall seeing photos of U boat Deck guns with plugs over their barrels so perhaps that was one thing they did to make the weapons waterproofed.
@AWESOMENESS360 The weapons are made with Ocean mod in time in terms of having bombs as their extra-oomph in firepower (which in vanilla would be lost. But in terms of function ala firing, launching, and heading to target, they are completely unhindered by depth.
.
For the sake of vanilla peeps I added a system to prevent the submarine from being dropped into a rapid sinking at spawn so that they wouldn't immediately lose the bombs and could regulate depth to prevent losing them. I didn't elect to use my previous bomb protection system since Ocean Mod is optimal for this build anyway, and it removes weapon despawn at depth.
No matter what the website, achievement points (whether they be the common likes, or the upvotes here) can be a dangerously addictive thing. It's best to limit one's desire for them to ensure an underperforming build doesn't do more than disappoint.
If you build the same thing for too long without so many improvement, your successes will stagnate. So at some point, even if you're well known for one thing, branch out! Even if not immediate in earning points, it'll be worthwhile in more ways than one!
Being a bad builder is not being low in skill with building, that's a hurdle that can be overcome with Patience and Persistence. Being a bad builder is giving up and internalizing the 'I suck at building' mentality to the point of not trying anymore.
Giving too much assistance to newbie builders can lead to them becoming overly dependent on such assistance. In general, avoid doing anything substantial for them!
Don't use a screenshot of your build at night for the upload, it'll very likely murder its potential for being noticed.
Beware of SP discord servers, they might be good but they might also prove a bit too 'rowdy' for your liking, or they might implode on themselves and have every channel but one deleted. If you've found one or two good servers, you should probably stick with them.
I built a plane similar to this back when I was new to the game. It had a similar wing and engine setup. This basic layout of aircraft seems to be quite resilient when losing parts.
You should consider using partcollisionresponse = none on the track and suspension parts. That prevents parts from taking damage from collisions. This is completely different from "disableAircraftCollisions" as it does not prevent parts from colliding, just prevents them from being damaged or destroyed by collisions.
@EnzoDiazUnofficial I got a thing or two in mind. Thinking my next car will be the r32 skyline gtr
You should totally try something higher resolution. Maybe full on fuselage art! Take it to the next level!
No U.

Paytthegreat09: Bill Wurtz voice How ‘bout I do anywayyyyy!
@GeneralPatrick2 Oh yes it is, it's U-505 in a museum in Chicago.
@Zanedavid What do you mean?
@asteroidbook345 Maybe Ken will make his look nicer.

@AWESOMENESS360 Although I think I misread, you were talking about torpedoes on Real Life U Boats correct?

@THEYE Seems only having drags on the parts that needed it helped, either that or you got a strong device.

@Souka Go ahead! I'd love to see what you'd do with it.
@Site How so?
@AdMiRaLSoviet It's been a while, I likely will at some point in the future.
@Dathcha A 584 part alongside a 424 part version will be available upon release.
@F104Deathtrap Thinking U-505 if not a submarine of its configuration
@AN2Felllla most likely, since U-505 had one and it provides some nice contrast.
No dice if you're on mobile.
I would agree, Simpleplanes is in many ways less a game and more an art program with playability. That simple fact is really the draw of it.

(very recently) Not even simpleplanes.com is safe from a copyright-crazed Japanese brand
@DanDaFreakinMan This wasn’t designed to be a road hugging racecar, it was made to be a car that can lose its rear if you don’t drive carefully.
@OhBoy By all means

@Clutch Ocean mod made by Jester, you'll find it easy on the highest rated mods.
@Swiper At some point.
@WIZARD2017 Great film!
@MisterT Thanks!

All who want Tags, type "Your flock is not safe from this wolf!" into the comments here.
@Charris969 Yea, looking back even I'm surprised how many weapons I installed here.
Missiles and other explosive weapons have a cheap insta-kill effect which ignores health points and collision response entirely
@redbear89 Zubr is there, I've seen it at least once.
It's always cool to see low point users suddenly come out with High Gold or even Platinum Tier user level builds.
@WolfSpark A Type IX yes, but not this model :)
@WolfSpark I already made a Gato so that narrows it :)
