[RESULTS] WEAPON DESIGN CHALLENGE II

37.1k EliteArsenals24  4.0 years ago

Well Here it is the official result of the 2nd Weapon Design Challenge! I would say that this was not quite received well compared to the last challenge which overflowed with entrees. Though It is quite undertandable with the change of rules that only one entry must be passed and I suspect that the community declined with the number of active users. Even though I stepped up the prize it still failed to meet my expectations. There were still a reasonable amount of entrees. And without further ado the official results:

1st Place

"Hotdog" Anti-Molecular Air Superiority Missile
By: typeZERO

r

Design: 47/50
Nice design. A bit simple but colors fit in nicely. A few lines were also provided and fins were nicely fitted.
Functionality: 40/40
Very unique. I haven't seen something like this before.
Description: 10/10
Well It is all there.

Total: 97/100

2nd Place

Matra R.511
By: WarHawk95

...

Design: 48/50
Design is accurate. Complete with decals and lines. Either than that it is quite easy to replicate but surely a very good model.
Functionality: 39/40
Flies well and seems to hit the target precisely. I won't mind the accuracy for specs but it seems real.
Description: 8/10
Nice background but I would like to see some ingame pics.

95-5 (NOT SUCCESSOR)

Total: 90/100

3rd Place

Quad 350mm Battleship Main Turret
By: GeneralPatrick2

...

Design: 38/50
Quite big but I think it kinda fits well to large ships. Could've use some other details though like ladders leading to the bofors or hatches and doors that leads to the cannons. Other than that design is good specially the bofors.
Functionality: 38/40
I like how the cannons actually are salvo. Bofors at the tops works quite nice though the other gunner does not quite move with the turret so I counted that as an error.
Description: 7/10
Instructions are there also you gave credit which is nice. But ingame pics are missing.

Total: 83/100

4th Place

Energy Assault Rifle
By: BuiltBionixInd10

2

Design: 45/50
Nice design. I get the point that you're trying to change it a bit to avoid it being "pixely" though it would be nice if you would put on actual lights to it. Also some details are not quite accurate but over all nice replica
Functionality: 31/40
Well it shoots lasers and thats about it. Like I said some dynamic parts arr missing like lights
Description: 5/10
A little bit short. Reference pic is there but there are no ingame pics

Total: 81/100

5th Place

Hi-FRGPS "Linda"
By:Thueerra

g

Design: 41/50
Design is good. Especially love the shape of the barrel. I would suggest to cover the bullets in the belt though unless you can somehow make it feed to the cannon.
Functionality: 33/40
Barrel spins which is nice. I prefer not to use rotators for barrel rotation otherwise it's fine. Cannons seem to be effective. Still it is missing some technical details.
Description: 6/10
Could've been better if there were a bit more info. But decent description.

Total: 80/100

6th Place

EMR-01 "Snowfall"
By: RapzerZ

g

Design: 40/50
I like the design. Would be better if it have more details. The "barrel" parts seems to be a bit disconnected or looks like it is. Adding some parts would've fixed that though.
Functionality: 28/40
Fires quite slow though it works but other than that it just looked like a futuristic cannon.
Description: 7/10
Nice lore could've use some pics though.

Total: 75/100

7th Place

ATLAS M-83B Cannon Pod
By: AtlasAviation

€

Design: 28/50
Design is minimalistic but a decent one.
Functionality: 20/40
Nice shell drop effect on the back. A bit unrealistic and might be well interpreted if it would drop at the side. But still it has some animated features. Cannon works but other than that it's just a plain cannon.
Description: 6/10
Nice lore but could've use some feature photos and formatting.

Total: 54/100

8th Place

SPHAC-C8 Heavy Cannon
By: MrPorg137

€

Design: 24/50
There are some moving parts but the muzzle is somewhat "clogged" which gives a less realistic feel. Design is decent but still lacks details.
Functionality: 22/40
Works as intended but other than that it is just an ordinary cannon. Recoil effect when fired in nice but there are better ways to implement it specially with the new cannon part around.
Description: 6/10
Kinda focuses on the vehicle rather the gun itself. Lack some pics but a nice description.

Total: 52/100

9th Place

WC2 Air Droppable Anti Air Defense
By:squideater56

h

Design: 13/50
Too big for its initial function and design is impractical. The turret has a nice shape but does not have details.
Functionality: 10/40
I get the point of it being a deployable turret but if I were to use it as a sub, the cannons will not work. Turret does not rotate properly and constanly explodes.
Description: 5/10
Has instructions but no pics. Formatting needs improvement.
Total: 28/100

10th Place

A.S.B
By:Esjope

h

Design: 10/50
Design is bland and simple.
Functionality: 10/40
Function is not new but uncommon. Quite long for its initial function but it works.
Description: 4/10
Decent description but no pics.

Total: 25/100

11th Place

The Barbette
By:0013bossman

j

Design: 10/50
Cannons are abnormally large. There is minimal to no design at all.
Functionality: 8/40
Recoil is too much, even the vehicle is driven backwards. Just a simple cannon with 3000 rounds.
Description: 4/10
Decent info but no instructions and pics.

Total: 22/100

Prizes will be distributed through out the week or so. I will keep a tally to keep track of it right here:

1st Place = 26/30
2nd Place = 20/20
3rd Place = 10/10

Sorry if the results took long. I admit I became a bit lazy to fill up the results because the quarantine got extended. Maybe I'll build one more weapon before school starts again. Anyways stay safe people...

    I FEEL
    SO
    PROUD
    OF MYSELF
    FOR MAKING THIRD PLACE
    WOOOO THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL GOOD AND FOR DOING THIS CHALLENGE

    i'd definitely have added ingame pics if i knew how to add them or take nice ones in the first place, too bad i can't

    also when i tested it it seemed to me like both the gunners on the oerlikons worked, not sure if it broke when i uploaded it or what

    My "Hotdog" Indeed is very Scary
    (THAT.. DOES NOT... SOUND WEIRD... AT ALL... >__< )
    .
    However, this is not the first time I did this. In Fact, this build is a Derivation of my D.R.A.G.O.O.N. System Concept
    .
    But Alas, that concept NEVER got popular. Because People tend to Judge a Build by its Thumbnail. And Thumbnail of my Dragoon build LOOKS SOO STUPID, that NOBODY even dared to look at it and Understand its Potential.
