@WarHawk95 Soooo... basically, this thing is a B-17G with an early-war ventral turret, a shorter cockpit with a glass top and without the radio operator's gun?
Not bad... Although I just have to point out that perhaps turning on Aircraft Reflection when making screenshots would make the screenshots look better.
Im sorry if it's not as smooth aerodynamically You serious? I mean this is just awesome - especially so as you aren't even familiar with the game, as stated in your description of this build.
Is this an original design? Anyways, great build as always!
Also, I just HAVE to say that after seeing that weird exchange between you and FairFireFight, I'm.... at least to say, a bit... curious on why you suddenly went full-on defensive after what seemed to be an obvious joke/meme (well, at least to me, that is). Is it a habit formed after people started nitpicking on your earlier SR-71 inspired builds?
@TheFantasticTyphoon This is how the GAU-8 Avenger came to Earth!
"... with great thanks to our exterrestrial allies who generously bestowed us with the knowledge of their Avenger rotary cannons, which we soon designed a plane around as a means to wield its unrivaled firepower and unleash it upon our enemies."
@DeidaraEnterprises Now that's not very reassuring, given that this is supposed to be a main battle tank, not a mobile wall (unlike the British infantry tanks in earlier WWII)...
@Foxway Well, as the bomb contains fuselage parts (among many other things), the destroyers assume that you have just damaged yourself with the explosion (or perhaps just ejected and the parts accidentally blew up the carrier). The only time they WILL shoot you is when you damaged them or the carriers with a stock weapon.
@SnoWFLakE0s I thought people must feel dissatisfied using chaffs and flares for smoke grenades.
The problem? Chaff and flare actually keep missiles away, this thing don't. Real smoke grenades can also keep certain types of anti-tank missiles away, usually by obscuring its or its operator's line-of-sight.
@MintLynx From the third picture I didn't quite see the wire, is it because it was already detached, or is it just because the picture is taken from an angle/distance where the wire is not visible?
@Jim1the1Squid I know the Rodneys - the point is, even THEY have only three turrets, with the second one superfiring. This one have FOUR, with only the third one superfiring, which gave a distinctive silhouette of an armed freighter with turrets jutting out of anywhere that fits and anywhere that doesn't.
P.S. For some reason I just hate non-superfiring turrets (esp. two consecutive turrets on the same level), and I'm not a fan of the Rodney-class, either.
Yup, good for target practice. Although... which class is this modeled after? I mean pretty much EVERY battleship in existence after the Dreadnought-class have more guns than that, yet the large bridge seems to belong to a super-dreadnought.
I have to say that the turret arrangement is... well... strange... (Yup, granted, it IS better than that of the Japanese Tone-class cruisers, but pretty much everyone is better by that regard)
only torpedo bay outline included, as launchers would be useless and would increase the part count Why? Is it because the in-game torps are too small and can only run straight?
@SakuraSaku As in "won't be making any builds within the forseeable future" or "shutting down the account"? I understand that many people have MUCH more important issues to deal with than Simple Planes, but I just sincerely hope that you can keep your account open so that we can see the few yet magnificent builds of yours.
@SakuraSaku You are welcome; also, please don't leave this site. Your great builds will serve as an inspiration and motivation for hundreds, if not thousands to come.
Which franchise is this from?
Holy....
Dreadnought?
+1Cat! You're back!
Nice to see another build from ya, Spefy!

@NANOMAN I have to say that perhaps using a permalink would make it easier to see where the comment is...

+3First!
@sixer I assume the missing gun you mentioned is the radio operator's? Granted, the ventral turret is different as well.
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss... BOOM!
+1Also, were is that lyric from?
Not bad... Although I just have to point out that perhaps turning on Aircraft Reflection when making screenshots would make the screenshots look better.
@marcox43 I guess you have some REALLY good computers to get this... thing working as a measurement unit...

For the Greater Good!
Also, good to see you back. Looking forward to see more builds from you in the future.

I knew it! Good job!
@PointlessWhyshouldi Damn I'm hungry.
How many engines did you cram into that thing?
@PointlessWhyshouldi I mean, this thing IS cheesy in the first place...
@LegnaK Sounds awesome, looking forward to it.
Can someone please tell me which nations in your AU corresponds to which nations in real-life? Great plane, anyways.
+1Is this supposed to be a Su-27 in your AU?
+1PBY Catalina?
+1Congrats on Gold, and also, cool (or shall I say, mint) Gravatar.
Is "Pterosoarer" a good name?
How does the piston that pushes the paintballs up keep rising up?
@MintLynx From the third picture I didn't quite see the wire, is it because it was already detached, or is it just because the picture is taken from an angle/distance where the wire is not visible?
Wait, is this thing connected to the ship by a wire?
Holy sh*t! That's mint!
@GeneralOliverVonBismarck Or the No.2 turret (count from the bow)

@Baby Which mod?
Whose KV-2 is that? I mean the tracks looks amazing.
Wright? Isn't that a military air base? Where is this even SUPPOSED to be placed in Wright? Also, awesome build.
