    True, only with the lated "Damage Control" release have parts modding become added into iOS GUI menus -- noi the same as XML code alterations/modding, I know. But fun. @SledDriver

    @Stingray I get why you use activation groups. If you could do XML modding, there's a much better way to fire multiple missiles at one target simultaneously. I'll upload a build soon that has that burst-fiire functionality.

    Checkoput my USS Jimmy Carter SSN-23. I provide the steps I use in selecting weapons groups. And I'll give you a rationale: one Cleaver or 8 Infernos are needed to vaporize the USS Beast via a single radar lock-on followed by launch. I finally managed to "hide" all weapons inside the build's body. @SledDriver

    @Stingray Nice. The effect of launching a bunch of missiles/bombs together is cool, but I'm ok with the default fire method. Especially as I usually use just guns on my builds these days.

    Hidden Cleavers (modded) and hidden Infernos (modded), which require Ag sequential activation (Cleavers 1,2 - Infernos 5,6,7) to score targets like a sharpshooter. Guns use the standard icon. I sorta dislike it when Jundroo takes over my weapons panel, which I've noticed is default for the kind of weapons some builders post. So I assign activation sequence releases to the Jundroo weapons. Unlike other posts. IMHO.

    @SledDriver Thanks. FYI a considerably better submarine “warcraft” build is in the works - I’m embedding all weapons that iOS allows me into a semi-replica Kilo Class surface/submarine Jundroo model. Stay tuned.

    @Stingray ok, I will remove it from the judging

    You may save the model I put your cockpit in. FYI this build inspired me to build an entirely new class of FUNCTIONAL Warships, which was clearly not considered in your voting criteria. Therefore, I withdraw this build from the competition. @Wahoo12

    Okay, thx. I considered it to be a loophole in Challenge requirements, since the model and Kilo Class diesel subs clearly conduct some warfare on the surface. @Wahoo12

    I'm going to accept this in the challenge but for future reference a surface vessel does not include submarines lol
