Now, I’ve noticed something. I see many great fighter jets and APCs and all kinds of wonderful machines. But I’ve noticed something. If you look at a plane with a background in that shop bench or hangar, it has WAY more likes then regular ones. So I guess this is a don’t judge a book by its cover thing. What do you think?

Like what @CoolPeach said, designer backgrounds are often used by higher skilled players to present their designs. It's a slight correlation, but the cause-effect is the other way round.
I tried to but failed on my last upload :/
I think that while a certain aspect may be true to this correlation, there is much more to it. Many builds with many likes are based upon the stock designer. Those builds happen to be made by generally skilled builders, some of which know the game quite well and know about custom designers. Hence one could deduce that creations with a custom designer get more likes not because they attention seeking, but because they have been made by builders with some reasonable aspect of knowledge to apply a custom designer in the first place.
Sure there are exceptions to this, but I believe this to be the case.
I agree. But I can't have it, as I'm on Android :(
