Naval Battle Challenge

4,217 Lake  1.7 years ago

Rules are simple:

  • Make a battleship

  • Must have AA defenses

  • Must have a balanced speed

  • Must have a good maneuverability

  • Must have a realistic performance

  • Max part count is 1000

  • Fictional countries, names and designs are allowed

  • ww1 to modern era ships are allowed

  • Must have a realistic sink and explosion animation (like the ship splitting in half and an epic explosion when the ammunition exploded)

  • its ok to use free to use parts as long you credit the original designer.


Categories:

  • Light Cruisers

  • Heavy Cruisers

  • Battleships

  • Destroyers

  • Aircraft Carriers

You must have the name of the country where it originated (for repicas) and the categories in the description of your frigates,

Example:

Japanese Cruiser Chikuma


EXAMPLES OF THE 9TH RULE:

The Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) Collins Class submarine HMAS Farncomb has successfully sunk a target ship, the 12,106-tonne former USNS (United States Navy Ship) Kilauea in Hawaii.

HMS Torrens creating an epic explosion after getting hit by a torpedo fired by a submarine


Final Notes:

  • About the last rule I mentioned in the rules, you are only allowed to use free to use Turrets and Hulls but if you are not lazy enough you can build your own turret or hull

  • The reason I highlighted some of the some of the words black because those are the important details.

  • If you are going to make a low part frigate, make it Simple as Possible

  • Aircraft carriers must have working planes that can take off and land back at the aircraft carrier, you can use a magnet to lock the plane on the flight deck after you land the plane.

  • Scratch the splitting in half part, I just realized how hard it is....

    Yoo I’m a new SimplePlanes player (you’ll prob see me often since I sometimes comment on other people’s builds both very old and very new) and I’ll do the challenge once I actually get good at building :)

    @Lake i will be trying to make a proper keel instead of b r i c c. If it will add too many parts then i will just make it a b r i c c

    @Lake current progress: i made 1 of the many turrets i will need. I just realised one of the main guns uses 114 parts. And i need 3 of them + the other armaments

    @Lake and im gonna tone down the turrets because 18inch guns are the largest guns on battleships. A dreadnought sounds cool but its kinda insane. So instead of quad 450mm guns per turret it would be tri 325mm per turret

    @Lake i could but auto aim is hard to use for me and its insanely laggy

    You can use auto aim codes for your turrets @Ummmhelli

    I was thinking of building a battlehsip for soo long.. maybe i could join. But i had never built a battleship with alot of working armaments. I think i would build mines with 3 quad 450mm guns, atleast 6 secondary guns and alot of aa. Idk if i would have auto aim or camera controlled. But then again it might not release for a year. Il join

    Maybe you could delete the "Must Have Scout Plane" rule, I think It's pretty hard for most people to build a working crane and scout plane
