@LostCausesIncorporated I did none of those things. Please don't project your prejudices of other critics onto me. And I did not insult you in the first place, I hinted that you should think things through, based on the statements you made.
@LostCausesIncorporated That is an excellent example of maturity; a lack of it. If you cannot accept criticism you are doomed to always be criticised. You are your own worst enemy.
@LostCausesIncorporated The ability to think critically is something you should learn. By suggesting that lower quality builds deserve priority you're advocating against the base drive for improvement. The reward factor of building better.
Think of it like this:
If a lower skilled build gets a high amount of traction, the builder is put under the impression that they do not need to do anything new/find any improvement, thus keeping them at a low skill level.
Alternatively, when a lower skilled build doesn't get more upvotes the builder is able to consider/enquire as to how they can improve. The returns are greater and future builds will be better.
But then from your comment you seem more fixated on a feeling of inferiority which causes you to shy away from putting in effort. You probably figure remaining a low skilled builder and basking in it (even advocating for it to be recognised) will prevent you from having to come to terms with the fact that you have no drive for self improvement.
I could, of course, be wrong.
@50CalChicken The issue with your suggestion is that ironically, higher ranked players tend to post less often and spend more time on their builds. It's counter intuitive to suggest that the limit goes up by rank because that only creates two possibilities:
Users are further encouraged to rank climb through spam posting subpar builds. This creates a poor build economy where too many bad builds flood the site and force out good builds because, proportionally, they just stand less of a chance of discovery.
Low rank users begin to rely more on volume than quality, thus stifling the overall improvement of the community.
I do, however, have some constructive advice.
On the subject of making minor modifications to the published builds, post the modified builds as unlisted and link to the primary build.
On the subject of posting multiple versions of the same build, post one primary version and post the other versions as unlisted. I did this with one of my recent builds because, in my opinion, there should be no reward for minor modifications presented as a "new build".
And finally, I think you have a lot of potential to be a good builder. My advice would be to spend more time per build and learn techniques from other peoples builds. Learn to make tapered wings, custom gear and improved fuselage blending and you'll quickly see that you enjoy making one excellent build vs 10 mediocre builds.
After some testing I have to say this feels like it was rushed too much. It's construction is quite rough but I imagine that's from inexperience with building stealth fighters. It doesn't stand out as much in the screenshots but I noticed instantly once I downloaded it.
Unrealistic specifications aside, it doesn't fly too badly, although it feels a bit sluggish compared to the real aircraft. I think the main areas to work on are improving your panelling and using realistic values for the aircraft mass, wing loading, etc.
@Blue0Bull ah yeah, I definitely dropped the ball there. In the future I'll build my wings slightly differently to make rounded tips easier. Glad you like it.
A decent build, not bad overall. It does have a couple issues though.
A couple pieces of advice for future reference:
- Tapered wings really enhance a build so I suggest learning the technique.
- I'd avoid glossy bodies, it actually enhances less smooth parts and overall makes the build look less aesthetic. 100% metallic and anything less than 30% smoothness is ideal.
- On that note, neatness is not bad at all. Needs some work but that comes with practice.
- Too many hard points. Aircraft of this size and weight class usually have a maximum of 9 pylons. It may seem trivial but there are good reasons for this.

Now, the flight model is a bit all over the place. It accelerates too quickly but the turn rate isn't all too bad. It's also too fast. the instant aoa vs sustained aoa thing is a common issue. The best way to fix the acceleration and speed issues is to use a realistic (or somewhat realistic) thrust setting on your engines and adjust drag to achieve the desired top speed.
Hopefully these tips will help on your next build.
This is a really, really good build. The performance is extremely nice and smooth and its fun to fly. The cockpit is simple but really nice. Overall, an excellent job.
@ChisP Thanks, I really aimed to give it a realistic but enjoyable performance. Its design was inspired by the Korean T-50 with elements of other fighters added on as i went. Particularly, I wanted a design with a LERX
This looks good, nice work. I've yet to fly it but I will. I can give feedback if you'd like
+1This.
This is gorgeous.
@Jerba That's my style, glad you like it.
@DILOPH It's really just the same concept Miksee came up with a long time ago that I replicated from the ground up.
I bless this comment section

+3My goodness, this is beautiful and flies really well. Great job.

+4I haven't yet gotten to testing this but already, three things stick out to my like sore thumbs.
The unrealistic weight, thee thrust to weight and the drag. But I'll reserve review (which I'm interested in giving) till after I test it.
@Blue0Bull ah yeah, I definitely dropped the ball there. In the future I'll build my wings slightly differently to make rounded tips easier. Glad you like it.
@Aerofy you're correct, I forgot to change it. Should be 1192 kW. Thanks for enjoying it.
@Hedero many thanks, I see the resemblance to the VB.10, haha
@Alta2809 @KerlonceauxIndustries THANKS!
+2@Seika5 grass
@EternalDarkness yeah, you're right. I suppose my only qualm with the colour was that it was too glossy.
@MBR6753 no problem, I have no doubt you'll get even better quickly.

@Dllama4 I gotta say, an 18 part meme build getting 74 upvotes really does highlight the problem with the community.
+2@ReignSUPREME this is an excellent looking build
@ReignSUPREME thanks
@nicolascolissi14 its intended
@switdog08 that's very kind of you. Glad you like it.
@Sadboye12 yes, super smooth
+1This is a good effort but you didn't quite get the right delta wing shape. Yours is too wide and too short compared to the Ye-8s.
But still, great effort. Keep focusing on your shaping and smoothing and you won't have any issue improving.
+1@ChisP The one issue I wasn't able to fully fix is the main gear being unstable when taking off. But Its a small issue.
@DarDragon Thanks man
@ChisP Thanks, I really aimed to give it a realistic but enjoyable performance. Its design was inspired by the Korean T-50 with elements of other fighters added on as i went. Particularly, I wanted a design with a LERX
