@AudioDud3 this cannot be done via xml. Only stock parts immune to bullets are parachutes and cockpits. This is probably done by making the part not detect the impact, and thus not exploding or falling off, the same reason parachutes are not influenced by bullets.
@Higheranarchyhallonv no problem. I usually try to keep my builds available at least for more powerful phones, but this one was a sort of a test of how many details and complex shapes I can put into a relatively small build, so it overshot mobile-friendliness.
Interesting discovery. I guess it's another one of the accidental easter eggs, like my underwater propellers. I'll keep this in mind in case I ever want to power a ship with something other than propellers or VTOL.
Prepare for the wall of text.
Very nice details on this boat. You chose a pretty unique design, and gave a good amount of attention to details. I also like the torpedoes. I managed to sink USS Tiny on my first attempt. That's the plus side.
Now for the critics.
Handling is pretty bad. You did good using VTOL for propulsion, but you did it the wrong way. You have VTOL nozzles everywhere. One is enough, if placed right. It should be as far back as possible, and as low as possible, to give the boat a tilt towards the inside of the curve when it's turning. Prevent it from flipping by putting small blocks with edited buoyancy near the waterline on both sides. To aid the tilting, you can hide XML-edited jet engines in the tallest part of the ship (Example, in the radar tower, check their xml stats). Also, look inside the hull of that one to find another system that helps with the proper handling.
Aesthetics are good overall, but there are a few flaws. Front gun is clipping through the antenna pole, the VTOL engine is sticking out, and you didn't disable flames on VTOL nozzles.
One more thing. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, USE PROPELLERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK UNDER WATER. i'M TALKING ABOUT THEM FOR TEN MONTHS NOW, SOMEBODY COULD USE THEM ALREADY! You can find them on most of my ships. Not on the latest three tho. If you want to make them yourself, just make the propeller blades very thick (like on the real ship prop). Cord scale between 12 and 17 should do. Thicker the blades, deeper it can work.
Now, for a final word. Please, don't take this wall of text in a negative manner. I am impressed with the way your ships look, and I want to help you make them more pleasant to use. If you need further explanations of the things I mentioned above, or a direct example, I'll be there to provide.
@FlyingThings I'd take Antonov An2. It's versatile, reliable, and easy to fly. Alternatively, I would have a B2 bomber, which I would sell and buy a fleet of Antonov An2s.
@ElysiumDarkness I'm looking forward to seeing it. I would have uploaded a stripped-down version of this boat, but there's not much I can remove from it. Curves themselves are a lot of parts.
@FlyingThings as I said in a few similar conversations before, my username is related to my philosophy. As the bible says, first there was nothing. Then God said "Let there be light". If there was nothing, then what is God? The God is everything that exists in that moment, even if it's nothing. That nothingness, the absence of matter, space, and time, is the Darkness mentioned in my username. Of course, my darkness has a few more meanings. Emptiness of the heart, meaninglessness of our lives, the nothingness that was and that will be, before creation and after the end. How the world came into existence in that nothingness, how did the matter start existing and how did space in which that matter would exist come into being, is outside the boundaries of my imagination. Best thing I can come up with is that it was the first and the last thing ever to happen without a reason. @EliteIndustries1
@Cadin for some time now, I don't need Android version. I'm using a PC. Thanks for telling me anyway.

Looks cute

@Zandgard no problem
@Cerdon thanks. I considered making an amphibious assault ship, but it would be too big, and I wouldn't be able to add all the details I'd like.
@Higheranarchyhallonv it has too many parts for me to downgrade it to mobile friendly.
When you rick roll a radio... We need to find a way to do that XD

It takes a bit of time for points to refresh. Sometimes up to an hour. Your points will come soon.
@Stingray no problem
@jamesPLANESii I was too lazy to make a propulsion. It would utilise vectored waterjets.
@Sauce @SkullsAndCrossbones thanks guys
@ElGatoVolador deletes them
The one shown as brighter on the projections
Yup, you did @AdrianFlyingAce
@OtterOfToast I always agree with an opinion that I find reasonable.
True. I saw a shaker do the course in 0:31. No glider can do that. Gliders didn't stand a chance on a tournament for gliders.
@Pilotmario ok. It can carry two due to weight limitations, if they are Ambrams-like, or three T-72 style tanks.
@bjac0 @Franticmatty I'm glad you guys like it.
@Luuk2909 I have a version with detached cockpit uploaded. TTHHSSSS says that it runs well on his iOS device. Want me to tag you there?
@Luuk2909 how many parts should it have?
@DeathStalker627 no problem man
It's very cute
@Kimo thanks
@ColonelStriker I don't know. I have a version with detached cockpit if that helps.
@Treadmill103 @redbear89 @DeathStalker627 thanks guys
@cobalT thanks. I think I saw a few, but they didn't have vehicles, so they were not functional.
@Pilotmario nah, it's at least third. CLICK
@Cedy117 thanks m8
@LatteCoffee55 in the end, your name suggestion won.
@AdrianFlyingAce now it's officially out.
@Baldovino thanks, but they don't feature us platinums as far as I know, and it's got a lot of upvotes already.
Hey, not fair! It's not gliding! 0.31 is probably unbeatable
Xebec is my favorite kind of sailship. Have an upvote :)
@FlyingThings I'd take Antonov An2. It's versatile, reliable, and easy to fly. Alternatively, I would have a B2 bomber, which I would sell and buy a fleet of Antonov An2s.
@AdrianFlyingAce I'm too busy to make a description for it today. Sorry. I'll probably upload tomorrow.
Hmm, I'll approve this one =)
@FASTFLIGHT me too. The detacher that launches the arrow wasn't hard to find.
This looks good and works perfectly. Range is a bit short, but it's still fun to use.
@AnonyMoose yup, until I upload my next one. Thanks.
@JakeTheDogg it's a 20mm. Sure you can, just give credit.
@ElysiumDarkness I'm looking forward to seeing it. I would have uploaded a stripped-down version of this boat, but there's not much I can remove from it. Curves themselves are a lot of parts.
@Jpeggers thanks
@Razr thanks. Turning and the hull really did take most of the time and thinking that went into this build. I'm glad that somebody noticed them.

@Kevinairlines really? I didn't know that... XD
