@TheFreemaker it would be highly recommended that it's a successor, so I don't lose it. It'll be a month before I start judging entries, and who knows how many comments will be here by then. And yes, motor launch is a good example of a small combat vessel.
@PyrusEnderhunter fast attack craft usually feature Oto Melara 76mm rapid gun or its equivalent. You can simply make the gun smaller. 76mm is still pretty big.
@FlyingManiac sure. If you manage to make them look and work properly, it'll give you some extra points in both "look" and "performance" rating categories.
@Blue0Bull if it's a combat hovercraft using a technology currently available, it's good. If it's not, you can upload it as any other build. Off-topic has no chance of winning. Some great ship builders have expressed their interest in this challenge, and a hovertank, no matter how good, can't compete with them. No use in giving me successor points for nothing.
Well, it's smaller than requested and has fewer parts. I might rate it when I start judging if I don't have too many entries, but it's probably not gonna score high.
@PyrusEnderhunter just keep armament realistic to the size and purpose of the vessel. Don't put 120mm gun on a 20m patrol boat. That would be ridiculous.
@LuukPlanes sure. Fictional boats are fine, as long as they are realistic. I don't want a square hull with 50 gatlings. But, for example, a fast boat with a 20mm on the bow and two 7.9mm guns on the sides is great. Or a 30m boat with four Cleaver missiles (missile boat). Or a large patrol boat with a 76mm Oto Breda cannon. Just fit the armament to the size and role.
@FGW2014 if you mean the one I just upvoted, you might want to upgrade it a bit. It's nice, but it won't really stand out amongst the WW2 torpedo boats and Soviet-inspired missile boats I'm expecting.
@Oski a dedicated combat vessel. Examples of such are various patrol boats, torpedo boats, and missile boats. Not a civilian ship outfitted with a gun. Although, if modifications are good enough for it to be combat effective (added armour, armament, and assigned a role in which it would be effective in description, a yacht would do. Some of the first gunboats were steam yachts.

@Planefun hmm, sad to see you go. Good luck in life.
@BarrettTheFerret no problem. I'm following you now.
Very nice. Good shape, great details.
Nice. But you could have given it a name.
@typeZERO You can postpone the battleship, or make challenge entry later. Deadline is 8th of November.
@TheLatentImage no problem. CT reminded me of this old jewel, and since it already had my upvote, I had to add a spotlight :)
@FlyingManiac also, first missile boats were WW2 torpedo boats refitted with missile tubes. You can go for something like that.
@Othawne you didn't? Yay, it's first again :)
@QingyuZhou no problem. Sorry I didn't comment, it left me without words :)
@FlyingManiac I don't think there were such vessels in WW2
Only for the best ones, in my opinion.
@FlyingManiac there were a few with unguided missiles.
@TheFreemaker why not? Anything that is considered a combat vessel and is no more than 65m long. Except sail ships.
@Pianoman that's great. I'm not very active there these days, but there are many great guys in that group.
@Pianoman nope, the link expired. I have replaced it now.
@BlazeInfinity sure. I will only judge one entry per competitor, but competitor can select which one.
It's fine. Everyone makes a mistake every now and then.
Yay, a first entry that meets the rules :)
@FlyingManiac yes. Just remember to remind me.
Maybe this one, or this one, or maybe this one?
@PyrusEnderhunter fast attack craft usually feature Oto Melara 76mm rapid gun or its equivalent. You can simply make the gun smaller. 76mm is still pretty big.
@Feanor you are a shipbuilder. Maybe take a bit of rest from the huge ones and make something smaller?
@MadBomber I know you can do it. You had some pretty neat ships before. I first noticed you on one of those.
@FlyingManiac sure. If you manage to make them look and work properly, it'll give you some extra points in both "look" and "performance" rating categories.

@MadBomber great. Make it amazing.
Well, it's smaller than requested and has fewer parts. I might rate it when I start judging if I don't have too many entries, but it's probably not gonna score high.
@spefyjerbf I could make an exception for you. Or you could go for a ultra-modern stealth design.
@ProKillaV12 link?
@FlyingManiac yes. It must sail and shoot.
@Oski it's not. It's a good start
@Dllama4 great. Can't wait to see your entry.
@Oski rocket gun is fine. All techniques are allowed.
@FlyingManiac sure. That looks nice
@ACMECo1940 no, because it's a plane. Boats only.
@PyrusEnderhunter just keep armament realistic to the size and purpose of the vessel. Don't put 120mm gun on a 20m patrol boat. That would be ridiculous.

@RailfanEthan lol, nope

@MEERKAT978 yes. Counter it with more powerful engines.
@Oski well, now they are submitted. Check if you guessed right.
Very nice. I love these old airliners.
@1918 there is no longer an 800 part limit for mobile platforms. They can download anything.
@MEERKAT978 they always cause a lot of drag
I'm glad to hear you are staying.
Workshop is not a map. It's an editor plugin. It appears where you are building when the mod is active.
Lol. Welcome back dude. Can't wait to see your new builds.
@Stingray no problem
