Attention please:
this is my last post for you guys, i will miss you all so mush, but I got to study now for a very important year, because if I get a high note, i may have the choice to go to a programers school and AI.
This shouldn't be 939. The Sd Kfz designations work this way: the first number indicated vehicle type, the second the vehicle and the third the variant. First number non existent is an unarmoured half track. First number 1 is tank, 2 is APC armoured cars, recon vehicles. Finally 3 is for engineering vehicles. Therefore this vehicles first number should be a 2.
This is aesthetically pleasing, especially the fuselage. I really like the paint scheme too.
There are a few things you can still improve on though. First off the performance isn't right. It accelerates way too fast. Second off all the wing surfaces aren't that great. Try to taper the trailing edge into a sharp angle, instead of a rounded one like on the elevators and main wings or a rectangular one like on the rudder. Third off there are some minor issues, like why do the guns have to be on an AG?
Over all a quite nice simple replica. I assume you're an alt, but still you have my compliments.
Are there still intentions to fix the lighting and colours? As I addressed in a bug report already the colours are quite a bit off and the lighting became overall a lot worse. Tons of builds that are uploaded to this site now have outdated colours and look worse than they were before the beta. It just seems very backwards to downgrade the graphics with an update.
It seems like the Tracks can't be painted anymore in the new beta. Just a heads-up. I reported this as a bug already to Jundroo so they might fix it. If they don't an update to this mod would be greatly appreciated.
You are right about your builds not getting a lot of upvotes compared to your quality, but maybe you're the one to blame. Basically all you do is make fictional german alt history tanks. Maybe try to switch it up. Maybe try a different style of thumbnail.
Though very plentiful your surface detail is often inaccurate, messy and oversimplified. Still it really does bring together the build as a whole. It adds loads of character.
I won't individually point out all inaccuracies and mistakes, since that would take too long, but I'll run down some that I think are important.
You tried to replicate a Panzer III with added on spaced armour. I respect this, but sadly the armour isn't actually spaced out from the hull, which makes it look like it's just the shape of the hull. I can't tell whether you tried to make the spaced armour on the mantlet, since you did add the bolts, but the rest just looks like the normal mantlet.
The longer grey box on the sides are nice.
The hull machine gun is oversimplified to the point where it significantly sticks out like a sore thumb.
The cup of coffee is a funny little addition, but I don't know why. Germans aren't known for drinking coffee. Maybe a pint of beer would've been better. Definitely a case of quantity over quality here, which definitely isn't a bad thing in SP tank design.
Decals and Paint scheme: 6/10
The main paint is a two toned grey, which is adequate. I recommend using even more tones though. This will make sure all details stick out from their background.
There are not a lot of decals and the decals that are there are very basic and simplistic. The diagonal 31 is not historically accurate as far as I know. The Balkekreuzen are too small to be historically accurate, but at least their placement is. Too basic to be interesting. In my opinion complex decals are very great ways to give a build character, and they are worth spending a lot of parts on.
Performance: 3/10
In the age of Funky Tree it is not acceptable to have turret rotation bound to VTOL.
The traverse is very sluggish and doesn't work at higher speeds.
The wheels in the running gear don't actually turn.
Top speed is way too low, especially considering that the tank is already 70% too big.
The reverse gear is as fast and strong as the forward gears, like some Swedish cheese or French cat. Beside the very basics (and even that is hard for this tank sometimes) this tank really doesn't have anything to offer when it comes to performance.
Conclusion: 6/10
I always love to see WWII tank replicas on this website and this is a decent one. It definitely deserves more upvote than 30. I hope you will use a blueprint next time and spend a bit more time on the performance. I am looking forward to see your next build, and I hope you'll improve even further.
Note: my scale ranges from 0 to 10. Everything from a 5-10 is positive. Everything from a 0-5 is negative. This means that this build gives me positive feelings. It is a good score.
@MrSilverWolf No. Your comment is cringe. You are factually incorrect and you were trying to be funny, but just made yourself look like an absolute fool.
@MisterT I am aware of "part saving tricks" and I am applying them, don't worry.
If this would be the best Puma it wouldn't say much, since there isn't a lot of competition.
20 parts for 5cm^2 is worth it in my opinion. There are other parts of the vehicle that have 0 parts/5cm^2, and it balances out. As I said there will be lower part count versions with the hinges totally removed.
Also I would love to inform you that I am adding another 129 part decal.
Now please stop complaining about my build being too detailed, there is a difference between 8000 and 2500 parts.
@MisterT I aim for it to become around 2000-2500 parts, and from past experience I know this is achievable.
The hinges (assuming you're talking about the hinges of the turret roof) are 5 parts each and I only have 4 of them. I wouldn't call that a waste of parts.
I do agree that I spend an unproportionate amount of parts on decals. However I believe that decals are very good at giving a build a huge amount of character, and therefore I feel it's worth the parts.
I try to be as part efficient as possible without sacrificing the quality of my builds.
The amount of detail might be too much for your standards, but for me it is normal. In my opinion you can't complain about a build being too detailed.
I will off course include stripped down variants so all users can still download and play this vehicle. The lowest part count variant will probably be around 600 parts.
@MRpingouin calling it a "push to gold!" suggests youre gonna post a lot more builds, since you still need over 40 upvotes

@SupremeDorian I merely posted a fact. If people get offended by that it's not my fault.

+1PC is the superior way to play SimplePlanes
+1@Stickman based
+1@BaconAircraft I'm gonna shove a perspective line up your behind
+1@BreadDoBeKindaSus maybe it's because you're builds aren't good enough.
+1nobody even cares

+1you got scammed, kid
+1@UnguidedCylinder Well, the "remove upvote" thing is just a meme, obviously.
+1@bogdanx why did you delete your comment lol
+146 people are angry 13 year olds
+1yikes

+1@asteroidbook345 good luck stealing an unuploaded build.
+1@Simpleuser04 wait!?! Are you a gril???
+1nice, but this kinda seems like a lot of upvotes for what is essentially a rework
+1@FrostyYeti I'm working on it. Maybe like a month from now.
+1Don't expect to get sub 40 too quickly btw. It took me 500+ solves to get there. To get to sub 30 it took 2000+ solves.
+1Nice, my pb is 16.59 and global is sub 30
+1@14ROVI yeah you won lol
+1gg
simp
+1People should really stop making these videos.
+1Complaining about not getting attention is the last thing that will get your builds a lot of upvotes.

+1Dude you're literally complaining about not getting attention like a 4 year old child. Grow up.
+1I love free use
+1We all want to know, but everyone is too scared to ask. Is your character a futa?
+1the meme is dead, sir
+1This is amazing so far!
+1@Strucker Oh, I was just finishing your bit. We were singing right? "I've felt this way before"
+1I don't even know who you are
+1You can just set a keybind to toggle all the effects.
