@Delphinus If I manage to pass 100k, I will ask myself "Why does society overlook or fail to appreciate actual quality products and seeks the instant gratification of a large volume of mediocrity?"
Then again, I'm making a scale AK-47 model. Non-functioning, because there are plenty of people on the site who would love nothing more than to oogle over new guns.
@EternalDarkness Do you think you can make me a North Point-class cruiser, to scale?
Each ship was 200 meters long, had a beam of 25 meters, and and was armed with nine autoloading 152mm/L60 guns in three turrets (two bow, one stern), and twelve 5"/38 caliber guns in six mounts (one fore behind forward main guns, one aft ahead of rear main gun turret, two port, two starboard). Draft of 10 meters, 50 meters from waterline to mast. Similar in appearance to my North Point, but larger and better.
@TemDesBur This is less a reskin than it is a rebuild. The only parts of the plane that are relatively intact are the upper fuselage, nose, and vertical stabilizer.
In fact, that is what the GSh-30 is. A 30mm autocannon based on the Gast principle.
Soviet engineers, like their western counterparts, wanted a compact, rapid-fire cannon armament for jet fighters. However, they didn't want an externally-operated system such as a revolver cannon or Gatling-style weapon.
In their experience, gas-operated revolver cannons were quite complex (see ShVAK cannon) and Gatling-style weapons were heavy.
Then they found the Gast principle, which was perfect. Rapid-fire, reliable, simple, robust, relatively light, and most importantly, didn't need an external power source to operate.
While having good builds is all well and good, having friends in high places always helps. Plenty of underrated users because of that. I was fortunate to have caught the eye of a couple platinum builders, notably @GluonicGaming and @PINK, that I was able to get some recognition and support.
So how do you get seen? Participate in community things, like roleplays. There's plenty out there. And when you're in them, a friendly attitude goes a long way.
But quality product is still needed. So don't mind looking at other builds to see what they did to make it look so good. Then you take the ones you like and use it.
Actually, it's not as viable as the autosniper on CT side. Mostly because you're more likely to face rushing Ts than rushing CTs. @AccipitrisEnterprises

Is okay.
The North Point was made around that time.
It's really a medium cruiser, especially after they got 203mm cannons. @EternalDarkness
It seems the StuG life has chosen you.
@Dllama4 I suppose.
Can you link me to an unlisted? You can also include the SR-25, because I figured I could help. After all, you did use my receiver.
@MrMecha Just scale it up to autocannon caliber and you'll be walking through heavy mechs like Neo walks through an office building lobby.
Minus throwing away thousands of dollars worth of firearms as if they magically grew from trees instead of reloading them.

Thank you.
@JakeTheDogg Bombs do resemble drop tanks and vice versa.
In World War II, the Germans had to constantly remind civilians the difference between unexploded bombs and drop tanks to prevent unnecessary panic.
@Hugo1plays There's always moving the center of lift back.
@JakeTheDogg Not really. Call it pure coincidence. "Ramon" and "Bautista" isn't particularly uncommon.
@Hugo1plays It's never been an issue with me.
Ramon is a common Spanish first name and Bautista is a common Spanish last name.
As you are aware, Spain conquered and colonized Mexico and the Philippines for at least several centuries. So yeah. @JakeTheDogg
In my experience, control issues are the result of poor balance. The center of gravity should be slightly ahead of the center of lift. @Hugo1plays
@FutureAviation There are many differences between my machine and his that it cannot be said as a copy, but rather a variant.
Hue why reinvent the wheel. @Ephwurd
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It would have been cheaper to have waited for one to need an emergency landing and impound the aircraft.
@Dllama4 Gyroscope pod on the bottom.
@Rugpeersdude Thanks for the reminder.
@Rugpeersdude The name is only at the top of the page.
@TemDesBur I did.
LOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG ago.
First plane uploaded.
How did you get your hands on an F-14?

@TemDesBur
I love it! I always thought the M60A1/A3 turret was very sexy.
Now to modify it to my needs...
I am interested in making a variant of this aircraft. As a combat aircraft, that is.
@Sauce Thanks!
Great. Now TWO A-1B aircraft in the RP.
There's the Pummeler and now this.
@PINK That's basically a GSh-30.

@Flash0of0green Hawaii is basically the same weather all year round.
It's a little colder in the winter and a little hotter in the summer. But trade winds keep the islands cool.
@bjac0 Thanks!
@PINK Interested in the gun? It's really an underrated operating principle.
Pretty much everyone that tested Gast guns says its simple, robust, reliable, and very quick firing.
@Dylanspin Is perfectly fine.
Matter of fact, I'm thinking of making an autogyro.
@TehNewDucky Yes. Yes I did.
The ones I see don't. @Birdman9301
@PINK Yes.
I saw an F-22 in person. And got to see them fly on a semi-regular basis.
Usually they have drop tanks, as seen on this example.

Just a few tips.
Build it and if it is any good, I'll make a good variant. Link me to it when you are done.
@Dylanspin lol on that TD too.
Region and IGN?
@Dylanspin I only referred to the S-Tank in the description.
@Alix451 It's honestly more a narrative than a story.
@Dllama4 It's $15.
Sometimes, it's on sale for $7.50.
Favorite SMG in CS:GO. @Dllama4

Time to turn this into a killer egg!
@Dllama4 And by a "few", I mean re-scaling most of the rifle and turning it into a 7.62mm DMR.
@AceOfSpade Meow?
@Dllama4 It doesn't scale well with my rifles and what not. I'm going to make a few modifications to fix that.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Interested?
I was meaning to make one for awhile.
Oh well. I nabbed your M60, so fair is fair.
@Supercraft888 No problem!
It's an improvement over one of the most detailed Harrier jets on the site. @cobalT
