It's more or less the same thing as the successor to this, but IMO easier to use. When I think of it, I've actually made a turret using this (long ago), the 15cm SK/L45.
You can fire guns independently, whilst having the plane maintain direct forwars flight. Just assign all flight-related controls to one AG, and the (for an example) rear gunner for another AG.
@PlanesOfOld Yeah, that would be nice. Could you perhaps make a post about this fun-challenge? I just don't have the followers to really get it noticed.
@ChaMikey Yeah, I agree on the Yak 141 being one of my best/the best plane replica I've made. It has got the derpiest takeoffs ever. They are hilarious!
@ChaMikey TBH the only thing that is good with my tanks are correct proportions, they usually aren't very detailed. My Pz IV chassi took me something like 5h to make, and that's basically just a lot of different sized rectangles :)
By the way, does anyone know how to make a rotator turn 360 degrees? I tried to do that yestereday, but it just stopped at 180 despite having set the value to 360.
@Colbs7200 I'll probably build a Wirbelwind at some point, but there are just so many things you can use this chassi for: Brummbär, Pz IV, Möbelwagen, Ostwind, Wirbelwind, Jg Pz IV, StuG IV, Nashorn, Hummel, Dicker Max and Bergepanzer IV.
@zackattack316 The nozzles aren't engines, if they were counted as such, common jet engines would also be counted as two since they both produce and put out power.
Thing is, what exactly would you build for that? Also, Jutland was a pretty important battle, the Germans hoped to crush the British fleet there once and for all.
@PlanesOfOld We obviously build tanks in completely different ways :) the gun is the second last thing I do (only external details afterwards), but then again, with XML editing the size isn't a catch.
@ChaMikey Thanks, this must have taken me something like 8 hours to build (half of that was for that chassi, which can be recycled though).
Yeah, I know. But I wondered if anyone (not from the US) was online right now.
Ok, I'll try. Sorry for looking at this, accidentially clicked it while scrollign through notifications, and saw it was a tank.
@TehDuck How did you avoid the 0,2 space between hull and turret? From the picgures it seems really nice.
SU-47
@PlanesOfOld Thanks a lot.
@DeezDucks What do you mean? English isn't my first language.
@Alasar No problem, it looks good, and it also has the correct proportion for a jet which, in my opnion is what most players fail with.
Epic, I'm trying to come up with a way to have an actual autoloader which you don't need so many rotators for.

@PlanesOfOld Alright, will have to try to find some way to get it noticed though, because I think it would work really well :)
@Colbs7200 It's hard to explain, but I'll make post another version of it, alright?
@PlanesOfOld Yeah, that would be nice. Could you perhaps make a post about this fun-challenge? I just don't have the followers to really get it noticed.
Epic, I tried to make the middle version yesterday, but I failed since I'm a nub :p
@ShatterFox
I think you're thinking of the Wirbelwind, which has a symmetric hexagonal turret.
@ShatterFox Although, it is a bit too pointy, will probably fix that for final version. The turret was REALLY frustrating to make.
Well, I was basing mine on how I remember it looking in WT, and IIRC it was pretty diamondshaped. @ShatterFox
I made a shipturret a while ago that you could load, sadly only 3 shots
@Halphas Yeah, there are some great ships up on this site, LBYSteven's Bismrack is best by quite a marigin I think.
@Halphas I haven't build any ship yet, but I am thinking about trying to do the SMS Derfflinger sometime soon.
@ChaMikey Yeah, I agree on the Yak 141 being one of my best/the best plane replica I've made. It has got the derpiest takeoffs ever. They are hilarious!
@Halphas No problem, this is one of the best ships I have seen on the site so far.
@ChaMikey TBH the only thing that is good with my tanks are correct proportions, they usually aren't very detailed. My Pz IV chassi took me something like 5h to make, and that's basically just a lot of different sized rectangles :)
Really nice, I wish I could build planes rofl.
@Seeras Sweden
@Seeras Well, with a name that means furniture wagon, what do you expect? :P
@Seeras Yeah, those are nice ones, personally I think I'll build a Jg Pz IV and a Möbelwagen next :)
Edit, just saw
@Seeras Thanks, I realize that the turret is a bit oversized now. There are a lot of things you can build with a Panzer IV chassi though :P
Nice ship :)
@zackattack316 So 2 VTOL engines plus N nozzles works fine :)
Yeah, that would be nice, creating custom tags that makes it so that only the tagged user(s) can see your plane could perhaps also be nice sometimes?
By the way, does anyone know how to make a rotator turn 360 degrees? I tried to do that yestereday, but it just stopped at 180 despite having set the value to 360.

@DanAviation All I've done is to resize, rotate and change position.
I guess all strategies except the bad ones work! Personally I think mine is optimal, but just my opinion.
@PlanesOfOld Alright. Have you considered going by the size of the roadwheels and just setting them to 2, to get maximum possible scale of the build?
Yes, atleast some of them, but I chekced the rest out now. I love the turret of the Tiger J.
@Seeras Thanks, feel free to use it as long as you mention that it's based off my creation :)
I haven't changed any attach points
@Seeras Here it is
@Seeras Yeah, sure. I have a more detailed version if you're interested, though?
@DanAviation What?
Looks really nice!
@ShatterFox Sorry, I meant 1st June :)
@ShatterFox Me neither :P I just think that now is the time to start building if we want good ships for 1st March, when Jutland happened.
Thing is, what exactly would you build for that? Also, Jutland was a pretty important battle, the Germans hoped to crush the British fleet there once and for all.
@bjac0 Thanks :)
