@AndrewGarrison
Hey Andrew, I've pinged this message over to Nicky, but I don't think he saw my message. I know you're super busy with the bug reports, can you just read this- it's not a bug per se, but still something I think requires attention.
.
The cannon projectile velocity is measured in miles per hour (even in the game code, as the XML values were in mph)- given that most other units in the game are SI units, shouldn't the projectile velocity be measured in m/s, as is the convention with IRL cannon projectiles as well? Just looking for a bit of consistency there.
First of all, tank aren't underrated. They receive substantial amounts of upvotes. It's just that Bronze or Silver users are bronze and silver for a reason- their quality isn't high enough.
Most tanks are also replicas. If you aren't faithful enough to the real thing, you likely won't receive good feedback.
@EternalDarkness Cool, that's awesome. I was originally considering that option too, although I intentionally used detachers for the purpose of eliminating the process of having to go into ordnance tab and selecting the rockets. As I stated here:
The launcher uses ingame rockets, but they will not show up as usable for offensive capability (and therefore does not interfere with preexisting builds that use rockets as tank rounds).
Although, if it's something like an IFV I'd assume you don't use rockets on other areas of the vehicle... Just a little more for advocating the use of detachers: as an added plus, using detachers let you give a more "projectile-parabola" trajectory to the travel of the smoke grenades, giving them a slightly more authentic feel (which isn't possible to my knowledge without detachers.)
.
On a final note: thank you for being a nice member of the community and giving credit for what's just the concept. That made my day.
@Linethesmarty A 2013 Macbook can run it fine. Maybe you're not considering the fact that SP builds can get extremely detailed. Remove the "extra blocks"? Funny of you to say something like that when it's clear you don't recognize craftsmanship. When builders reach a certain point there isn't anything called unecessary parts. Everything is purposeful and there for a reason.
@ThomasRoderick It's not like I didn't know about that. Chaffs and flares don't create a large or somewhat lasting effect that visually masks a vehicle; they do work as a IR countermeasure, as certain types of irl smoke grenades do, but fail to give the visual effect most people want.
Yes, I know how ATGMs work, and most gun launched ATGM types (usually SACLOS) are operator guided, which make a visual masking effective, but with IR detection devices this protection is rendered useless as well. The only effective smoke grenades still in modern use are those that mask the vehicle visually, thermally, and disrupt its silhouette effectively.
@KerlonceauxIndustries Thanks- but it was just a few tweaks here & there! I thought people must feel dissatisfied using chaffs and flares for smoke grenades.
Edit: Just to say, the chaffs and flare people use for smokes otherwise don't last or give a large enough visual effect to seem like "smoke". That's what I was trying to alleviate with this build.

Yep, I'm on board with @CoolPeach here. Try this particular example: Altitude-1 and Altitude - 1 yield different results. Personally, I'd say always use spaces to be safe (and consistency).

I know you're busy with the update- but one last thing that I think is pretty important.
The cannon projectile velocity is measured in miles per hour- given that most other units in the game are SI units, shouldn't the projectile velocity be measured in m/s, as is the convention with IRL cannon projectiles as well?
Just looking for a bit of consistency there.
the reason things got so stacked is because of the upload system and me losing access to SP for a year
Never in your comment history or a forum post of some kind have I spotted this argument. Not really consistent, are we?
drop it lad other wise ill get mods informed on this comment
Did I break a rule? I'm just questioning how one produces 80 or so quality builds somehow, especially if you have so little time to invest in SP:
have a job I have a life and only one device I play SP on and im sorry if I hang out with friends and Live a normal teens life
I get that you've been unbanned, and probably for a credible argument about how you aren't taking parts, but I still haven't seen a proper clarification that I can comprehend. A general consensus between the community leads me to believe that there was a compelling reason to get you banned in the first place. I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm asking for clear, upfront clarification on the issue so we can all continue in peace. Surely a supposed 16 year old is capable of doing so, if I can take credit from the personal details provided on your profile. Is this too much to ask from you? I just tend to be a skeptical, especially on the Internet.
@vcharng
Uh...? Bomb bays do take just a minute. I think you should get to know how to use XML and FineTuner a bit better...
Also, no offense to the creator of the mod, but no mod-part type mod has ever become "standard equipment" for builders in SP. Unless devs decide that this sort of function will be added to SP in the next update, this won't be so common, especially considering iOS users who have no access to mods whatsoever. Vanilla builds w/o mods are still mainstream and will remain so in the foreseeable future.
@DPSAircraftManufacturer I like to make mechanical things in SP, but the addition of logic systems in-game is a no-no for me. There already are mechanical logic gate people built here already. As for mechanics in general, you can pretty much do anything, from gears to linkages.
@Roswell Hm. I get the idea, but my mechanism is vastly different from yours. Mine is much closer to a gas-piston long recoil type system found on rifles. Thanks for the link.
@Aizen The missile inside the turret guides itself towards the target. The turret is freely rotating, which lets the turret turn automatically to the target. You then fire. Simple concept really, but hard to make it not explode.
@SpiritusRaptor Always exploring the limits of game mechanics, I see. Although, this seems pretty darn cool to work with.

Well crap, you got a featured build way before I ever will...
I can already see you reaching gold soon!

I do recommend adding slanted mini-wings to the shell itself to give it the rifling effect and improve accuracy / stability.
