I think your builds are the absolute best use of funky trees, I don't even know how can you make these very complicated inputs but you are absolutely amazing in it. Don't care about haters who say your stuff is bad just because it's anime. I personally actually like the anime characters you made, not because I like anime anyways but because of how well you build them, they actually look like they just stepled out of an anime and they look great, well built. But again, those who say your builds are bad just because of the exterior design are clearly haters and you shouldn't consider them as valid criticism, because those comments come from their personal hatred against anime and not against your build. Keep up with your work, many of us love what you do and always waiting to see what you create next, so ignore the haters. You are a great builder! Don't care about what haters say, build whatever you want :D
As for your question about the word weeb: it was initially created (it came from the word "weaboo" which means the same but "weeb" is shorter) to refer to people who are obsessed with japanese culture in a really disrespectful way. Note that weeb =/= anime fan. Many people like to confuse the two and refer to anime fans as weebs but that is wrong. There's nothing bad with liking manga and anime, there's also nothing wrong with liking japanese culture. The problem is when a person is so overly obsessed with japanese culture (without having any actualy knowledge about it) that they become annoying, weird and also become disrespectful towards it because they have no real knowledge about it. By definition, a japanese person can't even be a weeb because japanese usually have a general sense about their own culture and don't became ignorant idiots like the actual weebs in other countries.
So by basic, weeb is a negative word, and there's nothing bad with that as long as it is used correctly, on the people it should be used on: people who aren't just obsessed with japanese culture but are so crazy about it that they get annoyimg and disrespectul against japanese culture.
Also your question about the meaning of anime outside of japan. Well, from what I can tell, anime for people outside of japan usually either means those specific, japanese made, unique style (big "anime eyes", big heads etc.) animated motion pictures, but it also sometimes used to refer to the style itself (say if there's a video game that also has this specific design, we call it an "anime game"). Manga is usually differentiated from anime but there are people who often call mangas as "animes" because they don't know/care it has different name.
But in general, we refer to stuff as anime that are: made in japan, has this specific drawing style/design, has those usual clichés and character types/story elements (big robots, cat girls, story takes place in Japan etc.)
@Tang0five they marked battleship divisions and individual battleships so that friendly planes can more easily identify them from the sky. The forward two turrets marked the battleship division (div. 1 was red, div. 2 was white div. 3 was blue, div. 4 was black, div. 5 was yellow) while turret number 4 marked the ship itself.
For Example, Arizona, Nevada and Oklahoma were part of Battleship Div. 1 and as such, their number 1 and 2 turrets were painted red (with each one of them having different colored number 4 turrets according to their sections: Arizona's No.4 turret was red as she was the division's lead ship, Nevada's No.4 turret was white, Oklahoma's No.4 turret was blue)
Similarly, ships of Battleship Div. 2-3-4-5 all had different colors on their No.1 and No.2 turrets (for example, USS Tennessee was the lead ship of Div. 2, so her forward turrets were white while her number 4 turret was red)

I found a little bug. Whenever I create a custom location and restart the game there, the destroyers in the docks (the modern destroyer plus one of the ww2 destroyers, the one closer to the sea) go nuts: they multiply into themselves and then glitch into random directions because of it.
Well, this is just my opinion but for me, it's okay if they take parts of my build or even the entire build and modify and upload them, as long as they don't claim it as theirs and credit me in the description. It doesn't have any practical use, but the meaning behind it is important to me. That they acknowledge the fact that I built that part (or the whole thing) originally. I know the auto-credit system is there for this reason, but when someone writes into the description "Original author is BMilan, I just modified xy part" or "xy part is built by BMilan, I built the rest" it feels good because it shows they aren't trying to steal what I worked on for hours, days, weeks.
And I think this even applies to "Free to take" posts. If somene takes a "Free to take" post, they should at least give some credit to the original author. It's a sign of respect in my eyes.
The stripes you put on the wing are allied invasion stripes, they were used by the american and british airforces to indicate they are allied planes, the germans never used these.
Putting memes aside, this actually made me wondering from a game developer pointo of view. If Mojang made a Minecraft 2, what kind of improvements, new ideas could they possibly put into it, that original doesn't/couldn't have, to make it new and fresh? The original game's almost full potential has been exploited throughout the recent years by updates, mods, etc. so Minecraft 2 would have to take a huge turn to bring something new, imo.
@Strikefighter04 exactly, and others dont even get a chance to at least buy it for golden eagle or something, only mayve get it during events. Damn gaijin
Be creative, think of a vehicle you always wanted to drive, or a vehicle you really really like. I can't really understand people who "run out of ideas" in simpleplanes, while I'm standing here with 10+ unfinished projects and ideas I haven't started building yet. Is it really that easy to not to know what you want to build in a game where you can build literally anything? But if you really can't decide, here's an idea:
Turn on the TV and build the first vehicle you see in it
Good luck! ;)
Awesome! Congrats to WNP78!
Also you should pick more modders into the team because some of them are making god level mods that should be in the vanilla game
Dude at least give some credit in the description to Weaverfish because he made the original plane
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/5FE6P3/B-17-Fortress-w-Incendiary-Canister
Holy Morgan Freeman. This is awesome! All those new features. Gosh... aaaaand looks like I gotta remake the USS Beast again * sigh *, but hey it looks fantastic and has new features! Amazing job guys! 😀
@Irobert55 actually, this isn't an RPG. The term 'RPG' (rocket propelled grenade) is only used to handheld weapon systems (e.g. Panzerfaust, RPG-7 etc.) This tank is officially a "Sturmmörserwagen" (assault mortar vehicle) and it's gun is designated as a Raketen-werfer (rocket launcher)
So yea this isn't a panzerfaust because that's the name of a handheld device.
@Jetliner101 The LVT-4 Water Buffalo was an amphibious tracked vehicle (LVT = Landing Vehicle Tracked) used mainly by the USMC (but the US Army used it too) during WWII. The LVT was able to carry troops, supllies and even smaller vehicle such as Jeeps. My build tries to represent the latter one. So yes, it a tank that swims and carries a Jeep which it can unload on land.
@JamesBleriot Yes, I hid seven types of viruses into this build, your device is full of malwares now.
Putting sarcasm away, what do you think can be the problem on my end? Or what do you think did I do wrong here? It's really funny that you blame me because your device is too weak to run this. Btw part count is not always a determining factor, size can be too. A 50 part build can crash a game too if it's big enough (I tried building a real size Statue of Liberty once and when I was at somewhere around 50 part, the game crashed cuz it was so big) so no, the problem is on your end, your device simply can't handle big stuff with many parts, that's it.
@ThePilotDude I fixed it now, the original sentence was supposed to be a small reference to the game 'Rising Storm 2: Vietnam' (which inspired me to make this) as in the game when a vietnamese soldier taunts he often shouts this.
@TheOfficalMarylander the website already has a system in place that stops accounts below a specific point number (30 points iirc) from upvoting posts (to prevent upvote farming) so I guess they could tweak that system to get it the way that you described. Im definitely in favour of it.
Posting teasers as builds is mostly problematic because in this case, it's violating the "misleading thumbnail" rule as you are just uploading a cockpit part but have a full plane on your thumbnail.
As others have already suggested here, posting teasers as forums or videos would be better.
@126 I'm not planning to build too many of these as cars don't interest me that much, but this project was very refreshing after building so many ships (and it only took like a week to finish) so there will probably be a few more cars from time to time:)
The ship looks absolutely magnificent. The immaculate detail work immediately stands out. The ship handles well on the ocean mod an the weaponry is very easy to use
- Design/Accuracy (15/15):
I didn't find any notable inaccuracies compared to the real ship.
- Details (14/15):
The ship is extremely well detailed, down to the inclusion of a fully built bow crest as well as full rigging. It even hase casemate doors that can open and close. The fuselage art naval flag on the stern was beautifully made as well.
The only thing I missed was the addition of railings.
- Features (18/20):
The build has all weaponry of the vessel being usable, including all calibers of guns as well as the torpedo tubes. The guns are auto-aimed and very accurate. I also liked that they get disabled when the target is out of their firing arc.
I really liked the added feature of some of the casemate guns being retractable, with the bow mounted ones even having doors that close on them
There is also a small bridge interior with the steering wheel as well as an open platform with the EOT. Unfortunately, neither are usable but they are nice details.
- Build Quality (10/10):
The build is clearly made with very high effort, the hull is perfectly smooth and well built. The builer used tons of creative, part saving solutions, I was amazed at how genius some of them were.
- Performance (20/20):
The ship handles very well, even on the ocean mod. The use of custom propellers and rudder based steering was very appreciated. The handling of the ship feels realistic (with an accurate maximum speed) but still fun to use.
The auto-aimed weaponry is very easy to use and does the job perfectly.
- Description and Information (15/15):
The description is just perfect. The length of it great, it features a lot of information but not too much to become boring. Thereare also a lot of images, including diagrams of the firing arcs, as well as a custom artwork of the ship being presented as a shipgirl
Additional Points (-0, +3):
+3 for the effort of building a Borodino-class from scratch just for the sake of a screenshot in the distance
The ship has a rather unique design and appears to be based on the real life Brandenburg-class pre-dreadnoughts with some creative liberties taken and a fictional lore being built around it.
The turning was just unusably slow and I was saddened to see that the builder forgot to enable smoothing, which made an otherwise very well built tumblehome hull a bit less appealing. I also noticed some uncredited parts used.
- Design/Accuracy (13/15):
As mentioned, the ship is based on the Brandenburg-class with some changes and is overall very authentic.
The only problem is that the borrowed anchors are a bit too large.
- Details (12/15):
The build has okay detailing, nothing too fancy tho there are some great parts such as the finely built bow crest or the well detailed falgs. The decks have good detail work, the rigging is pretty minimal but it's there, the railings only on the upper decks and are completely absent from the main deck and there is an almost empty bridge interior.
The funnel smoke and the flags waving where also nice details as well as the crane hooks swinging on actual winches.
- Features (10/20):
The ship has all weapons usable, including the main and secondary cannons as well as the torpedo tubes.
The build features a system that allows the turrets to be trained to either side and then manually adjusted once they are there, which I think was a celver solution without having to use a complicated FT syncing system.
There is an almost empty bridge interior with a ship's wheel that isn't even correctly set up as the ship turns to the opposite direction than which the wheel was turned to.
- Build Quality (7/10):
The builder did try to use some good part saving solutions including slicing for the railings or labels used for the portholes and ladders.
The builder forgot to enable smoothing on the hull which was a real shame because the tumblehome looks great but seeing the individual segments ruins the illusion a bit. this also applies to the vertical fuselages at the bow and stern which would have looked much better with smoothing.
Upon checking the flags, I noticed that the creator was rather wasteful with parts on them, they could have been solved much more efficiently.
- Performance (12/20):
The ship needs a bit of time to speed up but it's really on the edge between too slow and acceptable so I'll put it to acceptable. The steering however is unusably slow, I'd have to sail around the entire vanilla map just to make a 360 turn.
The guns' traverse rate was okay, a good balance between realistic and usable, but the reload time was once again way too slow to be enjoyable, even if it was done for realism.
It handles okay on the ocean mod but only at low waves as higher waves disable the propellers so it's hard to gain any speed.
- Description and Information (12/15):
The description is very informative with a full lore and history written for the ship, however I feel like it's too long, it's almost a wikipedia page worth of information which I believe would have worked better if the creator put all the history part into a document and given a link for it while the description itself would have only included a brief summary of it.
The screenshots are great.
Additional Points (-3, +0):
-3 for not giving credit for the ship's wheel and the anchors
The ship has every element to look like a proper pre-dreadnought, but I feel like the builder went a bit overboard with the chubbyness. The build is soo wide and short that it feels more like a toy or an eggship than an actual vessel.
Other than that, the ship looks pretty okay, adequate detailing and the controls are clear and easy to use as well.
- Design/Accuracy (11/15):
As mentioned, the ship's thickness is a bit too much, however, other features such as the tumblehome hull, weapon placement, the look of the superstructure and so on seem to well representing the design of pre-dreadnoughts.
My only other criticims would be the slanted funnel tops as that was not really a thing in this era of warships
I also couldn't find any real life examples of 4 screw pre-dreadnoughts but I found some with 3 screws so I'm willing to accept this as reasonable.
- Details (9/15):
The ship has pretty minimal details overall, tho there are a few nice things such as the individually modeled chain pieces (albeit the chains themselves make no sense as they don't lead to any hawse hole or anchor, they seem to bge just connecting a few capstans)
The builder also included some portholes too, as well as windows on the superstructure and even flags on the masts.
- Features (7/20):
There are usable main, secondary and tertiary guns on the vessel and nothing else.
Propulsion is solved with jet engines and steering with a gyro, not very great.
- Build Quality (4/10):
The build is not very efficient with parts. I was very suprised to see vtol nozzles still being used for port holes, it being a very old and outdated techniqe. The hull's parts dont flow into each other smoothly either.
There is not much else to say about it.
- Performance (13/20):
The vessel is easy to handle, I found no problem with any of controls, they are easy to understand and use. Speed and turning are good as well, they are not too fast or too slow.
Unfortunately, the ship couldn't handle the ocean mod well, it was rather bouncy
- Description and Information (15/15):
The description was pretty great. It features a lot of informaton such as a history section, controls and a ton of screenshots, inlcuding ones that are edited to look like old photographs. The length of it was pretty good as well and some formatting was done too to make it more easily readable.
Additional Points (-0, +3):
+3 for the effort of building the ironclad ship after which this one was named
Oh my god! That's really impressive! Well done! 😀
+2Fantastic! I love how you made the sinking, awesome build!
+2Yes, time for custom AI ships with actual turrets!
