@AnoniMosu well eh, quite interesting approach on the challenge.
According to the rules, it should be disqualified because it's not authentic (The germans only built Ersatz versions for the Panther and the Stug III, and those were copying american tanks not soviets) and because the gunsight is unusable BUT I won't disqualify it because I like how creative the idea is. (It might get an Honorable Mention, but it broke the rules too much to get a placing)
Very nice build, congrats!
@AdlerSteiner I'm planning to make a whole series of WWII tanks, and the Tiger I. and its variants was the first step in this, but I'm already working on the next one
@Irobert55 each time I'm writing an answer to you I do a ton of research but the more research I do, the more I realise how complicated military designation is. I think only the engineers, working at military companies and the weapon historians completely understand which is called what and why. For us, it seemingly makes no sense
@Irobert55 I think the difference is because of the term "grenade" in it. Weapon systems that have the name "grenade" are usually "small" in size (smaller than for example a tank shell) and can easily be operated by regular infantry. A hand-held grenade, or a rocket-propelled grenade can both be given to any foot soldier to use because they are small, portable and not too difficult to use. A rocket-mortar however, needs a whole crew of people with special training (and in the case of the sturmtiger, even a whole armoured vehicle to carry)
So there's a difference actually because a panzerfaust or an RPG or a bazooka etc. are all small, hand-held weaponsystems that fire rocket-propelled grenades, while the Sturmtiger fires ammo that is technically a rocket-propelled bomb.
@HarryBen47 sure
To upload pictures:
- Get your pictures (screenshots, or download from the internet etc.)
- upload them to any picture uploader site (I personally use and recommend tinypic.com but you can use any other similar website)
- copy the link of your uploaded picture (on tinypic, you gotta copy the last link from the 4 that tinypic will offer you after the upload)
- In the description of you post, you gotta write an exclamation mark - ! Then (without spaces) you gotta write square brackets - [] and then (again, without spaces) you gotta write your link inside regular brackets - (link). It should look like this

{Delete the spaces between the exclamation mark and the square brackets, and between the square brackets and the regular brackets. No spaces at all}
@Stellarlabs yea mirroring screwed up for me too. So I clicked on the screwed up wheels and in the Fine Tuner mod, I put a - before the angle number, so itt put the angle into negative and it was all good
@Jim1the1Squid Dude, build whatever you want. Build the firstt thing you see, you don't need others to tell you what to build, it's your choice what to build. I for example have like 10 on going projects and have 10 projects which I have in mind but haven't started yet so I sometimes wish I was "out of ideas" because then I wouldn't start any new projects before finishing the others. Literally the sky is the limit in this game so you can build whatever you want. Build your favourite plane/car/ship/anything, build something unique, something new, something fun, build the first vehicle that comes to your mind. It doesn't even have to be a vehicle, you can even build a toilet if you wanted to. That's all I can advice. You don't need others to tell you what you want to build, it's all your choice.
@aerodummy sorry to disappoint ya but I wasn't XD but I just checked your profile and you have a new follower. your stuff is awesome plus I love Dunkirk and the Kingsman movies too! :D
"Inferior to spitfire" I laughed so hard on this. Let's see: the Bf-109 B-1 entered production in 1936 while the Spitfire only entered production in 1938 (at this time, aircraft development was very fast so 2 years mean a lot). Yes the B-1 variant was inferior to the Spitfire but let's compare the spitfire to a variant that came out the same time. The Spitfire debuted in november of 1938 and the Bf-109 E-1 in december of 1938. Now the speed you mentioned, well yes the bf-109 was a little bit slower (spitfire ~ 584 km/h, bf-109 e-1 ~ 574 km/h) but calling it "slow slow slow" is stupid, it was one of the fastest fighters in the european theatre, and the bf-109 was a strong competitor to the spitfire, both planes advanced very quickly trhoughout the war and it's impossible to determine which one was better as usally they were on the same level. Calling the He-112 an "also horrible plane" is stupid again, at it's time it was a really great design too.
But lemme ask something. If you hate this plane so much, why the hell did you steal if from pancelvonat and uploaded it numerous times? You even uploaded a He-112 even tho you called it a "horrible plane"? But I don't see any spitfires on your posts list. How is that?
@Sm10684 unfortunately I don't speak spanish XD apart from english all I know is a few words in german, russian and italian but I only know words and can't make any normal sentences, maybe a few a simple sentences in german but not too much, and I can also read the russian ciril letters.
@Mustang51 yea I kinda feel bad for that nearly 600 part count cuz I originally wanted this to be a very low part count so that it is accessible to more ppl but then I started putting more and more stuff on it and I realised too late that the part count got out of hands
Damn, it got 3 times more upvotes than my abrams in less than 24 hours while mine is up for weeks now.. where did I do wrong :( anyways, really great job!
In Hinduism it was the symbol of the Sun while in the western cultures where it is often called Hakenkreuz or Hooked Cross (in my country Hungary we call it Horogkereszt which means the same)
It was the symbol of good luck... well it WAS before Hitler and the nazis.
Hitler chosed the swastika to be the symbol of the nazi party because of these meanings and also because he was kinda obsessed with ancient cultures

@Marschall Being new doesn't legitimize uploading creations that are made by someone else, just because he is not skilled enough to build original creations. when I was new I didn't do it either. I think it's better if we tell him now that this isn't cool, than praising him for something that isn't his work. He should spend time getting skills in making planes and then he should upload his own, original planes or at least legitimate edits. This is just my opinion but I think, we shouldn't let un-creative, useless creations swarm the site and instead we should inspire people to create new, original ideas. I see you're new too so this is meant to you too, try to get to know how the game works and create something brand new, not just repaint or put a few missiles on other people's creations.
Really great ideas! I already made some submarines but those are based on some small tricks and you cant even see underwater with them. I hope somethink like this will be made, in my opnion it there should be a block just like the fuselage block (so that you can change it size and form) but if there's at least one of these blocks on your vehicle, you'd have another slider (just like the ones for VTOL andTrim on the sides of the screen) which would control the ballast, if you pull it down your submarine would go underwater and if you pull it upit would come up, there would be a function in the designer with the CoM, CoL and CoT,that would show if your vehicle can go underwater or not (in case you put too much buoyancy on your vehicle and not enouh dead weight/fuel)
@Weaverfish I love this! It's so awesome! I got the idea to make another version where the player can control the turret on the back of the plane (your plane doesn't have one but real B-17s had turrets on the back) so I made it using this plane as a base (deleted the tail gunner parts and bulit a turret on the back) my question is, can I upload it? (I will tag you of course but I haven't modified the cockpit so it will be autotagged to your plane as a successor)
@StockPlanesRemastered We hope it brought you a lot of great memories! 1973 and 1974 were special model years when a variant with a vertical spare wheel in the trunk was briefly produced, did you happen to own one of those rare models? :)
@jamesPLANESii It's the Forest demo by Kennneth, you can find the link to it in this post
You have to set the game version back to 1.12 to be able to use it properly (otherwise some of the textures and objects will be messed up)
Joining to the others before me: even if you leave, don't delete your account. Our accounts all serve as libraries of all our builds, if you delete yours just because you wanna leave, you are essentially burning down your library and denying people from being able to play with your builds in the future. So many older players made this mistake and now their builds are essentially lost media, don't make the same mistake. Just add a part in your bio that says something like "Im inactive, dont expect to reply to your comments" or something like that with your own words, and than leave it at that.
Very good! I especially like the story you wrote :D
