    How about making an M46 Patton next? I don't think I've seen one on the website yet.
    By the way, nice tank you got there :)

    I think they mentioned somewhere that they'll finish restoring the Horten around 2020-2022, so we're still a long way from seeing the last of the Horten prototypes restored to its former glory.

  • Y'all know about this? 6.3 years ago

    That thing is legendary. It has friggin autopropulsion! That's a first among Italian tanks!
    Every time it shoots, the recoil is big enough to propell it. Also comes with rear mirrors so that you can see the battlefield!

  • How do I make a tank cannon? 6.3 years ago

    @BrendoB47 things have come a long way since then and Gun Cannons have become kinda obsolete.
    I recommend you check out the gun on my T-72. It's as close as I could get to the way Leehopard made the gun for his T-132 Amur (I think that's what it's called).
    If you still want to make a Gun Cannon, then you'll have to do it differently. I could elaborate on this if you wanted to (actually, I might post a tutorial on how to build tanks now that I think about it) but, basically: now there is impactForce, damage, tracerColor, and bulletScale. Play around with the values on these two and see for yourself :)

  • How do I make a tank cannon? 6.3 years ago

    @BrendoB47 don't use the mirror tool. It sucks, really. What you wanna do is mirror a single piece a time. You can do that by going to the Rotations tab and there should be an option to mirror the piece you've selected. That's what you wanna use when you want to mirror something.

  • How do I make a tank cannon? 6.3 years ago

    @BrendoB47 I've used rocket pods on my LTTB but, problem is, you cannot modify their speed and, as such, cannot replicate gun velocity. Wing guns and miniguns do have this option but they miss out on others.

  • I have something to say. 6.3 years ago

    @Ajforever51 I'm no professional either. I'm not even an amateur.
    But yeah, you can use your fingers to blur out the lines but I find handkerchiefs to be better at it.

  • I have something to say. 6.3 years ago

    Also, I like the way you draw. Not necessarily what you draw, but how you draw. Just one little thing: shadows look a lot better when they are uniform. Doing them in pencil usually leaves these clearly visible lines which don't look that nice. What I do is: I take a handkerchief and start rubbing the shadows with it. Not only does it homogenize the shadow (thus eliminating most of the lines the pencil leaves), but it also creates this soft shadow effect which looks really kewl in my opinion.

  • I have something to say. 6.3 years ago

    Honestly... I've gotten my skin burnt by making constructive criticism or trying to be goofier. The latter means I'm trying to say the same idea as I normally would but in a sort of funny way. By no means am I trying to make fun of someone's defects, all I'm really trying to do is cheer you up a bit so that you can go ahead with a positive mindset. That way, you should be more open to new ideas, new perspectives and so you remember much easier the essence of critique. But this is theory and, so far (this so far meaning just one person; not to mention it was the worst choice I ever made), it failed.
    I used to critique quite a bit. Never did it because I envyed said person or simply cause I wanted to be an A-hole. All I wanted was to help them become better and/or have it easier. Never have I criticized someone just for the heck of it. Again, I always had both a good reason and good intentions and, even today, if I wanted to criticize someone's plane (just to give you a concrete example), I would do it almost the same way I used to.
    But, you see, criticizing someone means you embark on a trip on the slipperiest road ever. How so?
    I've experienced this first hand. Almost every time I criticized someone, there were two outcomes. One of them occured way more often than the other. Maybe due to the way I word stuff (I'm rather blunt; sugarcoatting is not my style) or simply because I chose the wrong recipient.
    The first outcome is: they respond negatively. In fact, fiercely negatively. And due to this, they start spreading fake rumors about me and so I get a bad rep.
    Second one: they respond positively. It happened rarely but trust me, it had a huge effect. Mainly because the recipient was able to understand the underlying reason of my critique and, secondly, the way they perceived it. Not only did I help massively by making someone else's life easier, but they also thanked me for doing it. Now that's a huge thing if you ask me.
    I've personally chosen to refrain from critique. I decided to only ever do it when asked to. This way, I eliminate about half the variables that usually go against me.
    TLDR: when criticizing, choose your target carefully. Don't dive head first and think later (like I usually do, not just when criticizing :P ). A bit of planning doesn't hurt, either. And one more thing. Choose. Your words. Carefully!
    Oh and, by the way, I'm glad that there is someone just like me that can take constructive criticism and doesn't get easily offended.

  • Just because MIG’s where cheap. Does that really mean they are bad? 6.3 years ago

    Honestly, I've seen most people call Warsaw Pact/Russian equipment bad. But, if you think for a little and, hopefully, get your hands on some hard facts that can be compared, sometimes, Warsaw Pact/Russian equipment outperforms Western equipment. It's a debate that would be absolutely amazing to have and, actually, I think I will start it :)

    @Baldovino Thanks for misinterpreting my words.
    I didn't say "I don't want old propellers back." I only stated that you've made this post just to beg for points.
    Had it been a forum post, I'd have no problem with it.

  • Petition to limit users to ONE FORUM POST PER DAY 6.4 years ago

    @F104Deathtrap So I understand an analogy with an overly complex process that takes place in the n-th dimension of this world would have better suited your suggestion? I don't think so.
    Then again, I would support a cooldown for posting stuff. But I sure wouldn't support limiting the amount. If I were to spam forum posts for points, it wouldn't be too practical. Two points per upvote would require a couple hundred to really gain some substantial amount of points.

  • Petition to limit users to ONE FORUM POST PER DAY 6.4 years ago

    Since you asked me to expand on my "no" yesterday. I didn't do it right away since people with common sense and a bit of experience around here can tell why this suggestion is straight up bad. But it seems I have to dissect my own reasons. Don't expect much different from what was already said.
    First off, to limit ones amount of forum posts per day to a mere single post is extremely strict. This is exactly like limiting the amount of thoughts you can have in a single day. How would that feel to ya? Sure wouldn't be awesome. "But I can think of something really really important and problem solved." Just no. To think of something very important, you must first think about what to think of so there goes your one and only thought.
    Maybe I wanna post a tutorial about how to make realistic fuselage wings and later that day I also wanna update my roleplay related to Vietnam War and how the Vietnamese have just stolen some American planes from the South and it's actually more of a teaser for a plane I will upload in the near future. My point is: within a day, you might wanna write more than two forum posts about totally different topics.
    And so, your one forum post per day or literally any X posts per day limit is absurd. Honestly.
    What I would propose is a cooldown between both uploading builds and writing forum posts. One minute at most. This should prevent effective spam but, to be honest, it's been well over a year or so when I last saw someone spamming forum posts. Although I think something along the lines of that did happen recently but it was no big deal. The moderators swiftly cleaned up the forums and the spammers got tempbanned. They did a great job at solving the problem.
    Without further ado, I think I've made myself very clear and I don't think there's anyone that doesn't understand what I said.

  • With all these requests for 1.8, you guys have forgot the most important feature. 6.4 years ago

    @AudioDud3 I think this comes down to the game engine. Porting stuff from Unity 5.3.6 to a newer version does not guarantee that it will work the same. Think of a plane that has some very weird flight model in SP. It may work here since but in a newer version of Unity (in which I suppose the physics simulation is much more advanced and realistic) it might not work at all.
    I seriously hope they're working on a way to import stuff from SP1 to SR2. I've built so much stuff and I'm lazy to rebuild it in SR2, to be honest.

  • Clearing my conscious 6.4 years ago

    Actually @Squirrel, the part with the music will more than surely work. And I can say this from my own experience. I know it's the most unusual kind of music one could listen to (military marches... yeah :P ) but, whenever I listened to something very vivid, fast-paced, it just restored that bit of confidence that I had previously lost.
    And it's also scientifically proven that music really does make us feel better.

  • A message to the community regarding motivation. Please read 6.4 years ago

    And to those rather new users (old ones alike) that say they've lost all their motivation: think of a toddler. Then think of a rainy day. This toddler runs around and plays with the other kids just like he does everyday. But all of a sudden, he falls into a puddle choke full of mud. He gets really dirty. Everyone stops from laughing and playing. He becomes the center of attention. "Will he cry?", the world wonders. But to their surprise, the toddler gets back up on his feet as happy as he always is. He's laughing and he's more than happy to scare all the other kids with his muddy appearance :P
    This was you. A long while ago. If you could get up from that puddle and laugh about it, then you sure can do the same now when you've no motivation. Not just here, but also in life. Remember this toddler. He is very young, he is innocent, but he has taught you more than what school has or ever will.

  • A message to the community regarding motivation. Please read 6.4 years ago

    I actually had to split that comment in two :P
    I know I've written a lot about me now but what I wanted to say is: be one of the best at what you're doing. I am one of the best at tanks. That guy that usually posts minigames, he is best at making minigames. My friends here, for instance. BogdanX has to be one of the best at making low part count replicas. Sauce, albeit inactive right now as he is serving his country, is one of the best at making extremely smooth shapes. EternalDarkness has to be one of the best shipbuilders on this website.
    So you have to basically develop something of your own. It doesn't have to be something completely different, neverbeforeseen, but you have to develop your own style of building what you like the most. Think of it like your trademark, something that, when people see one of your builds, they can say "oh, this is X's thing, I can tell because his building style is so special!" or something along the lines of that.
    Trust me, nothing is impossible. You may say "but I can't do this." To which I say NO. You CAN and WILL get better at this game. You CAN and WILL become famous for being best at what you're doing. You just need this little bit of confidence in your abilities.
