@SpartanDelta1 I tried using mechanics everyone else did, and then I realized the concept of a single-use catapult was far easier than I first anticipated.
.
By the time I did figure that out, my account was 3 or 3.4 years old.
Here's an interesting fact about the "Gorilla", as it was nicknamed: Chinese forces actually stormed an artillery regiment in the Korean war and captured two M41s. They then used them against American forces several times.
.
There are only two surviving examples today: one in the US (Arlington Tank Museum if I remember correctly) and one in Beijing in an arms museum.
The A110 is nuclear-strike capable and can switch between cruise mode (wings half-extended), combat mode (wings full-out extended), and rapid mode (wings pulled back completely). The names are arbitrary; you can adjust depending on the situation at hand.
I never knew anyone who died in 9/11, but I understand it’s a very important event in history, be it good or bad, that has shattered countless lives. May the lost never be forgotten.
I think something weird happened to the power plant, and now her max speed is about 15-18knts more than historically conceived (30knts). I’ll try to fix this, so a fixed version will be out soon (again).
This project was so massive, I got several other builds done during it (better 406mm gun turrets, Voight O2U Kingfisher, a mobile-friendly catapult, and some tanks…). Coming soon, if @EmpNapoleonBonaparte wanted to see Kim Jong Un… I shall deliver.
ARTILLERY/GUNNERY
AG1 to activate the turrets; VTOL and Trim for control
AG2 to activate the secondary guns; VTOL and Trim for control
AG3 to activate the AA Guns (MASSIVE LAG WARNING); VTOL and Trim for control
.
AVIATION
AG4 to maneuver the catapult (VTOL)
AG5 to activate and launch spotter (normal flight controls and is capable of water landing; however it is irrecoverable due to lack of working winches)
@AWESOMENESS360 uhh yeah. Also it could be a ship transport (those exist; there was a picture of a damaged Arleigh Burke-class getting carried by one).
Coming soon. I said I'd launch a heavy tank design after the gauges were added, so I might as well finish this first.

NOTE
Some last minute changes might be made, so the specs may only be 94% reliable AS OF NOW.
PLEASE NOTE
This is an experimental concept, so it might never get launched on SimplePlanes. However, if you guys like, I will try to pursue rocket-related content. I'm not letting upvotes speak... I'll let the comments speak for whether or not they want some of this.
NOTE: This may not come out for quite some time because I’m still working on a lot of other stuff I teased already.
The hint here is the thing it is to be used for is (in my canon universe) called the “Army’s Battleships”.
iPad: "Oh hell naw. I'm not gonna load this."
Part Count: "But it's only 75."
iPad: "I meant the projectile. I'm gonna die once you press that 'fire' button. Then you'll see some REAL FIRE."

Imagine if this became the velociraptor in your pfp. I would reopen my airborne battleship program for that lol.

@DeltaLCI *646, because of that 4 in the middle (I know it's 747-111=636)
Your name...
...I like you.
This reminds me of the 747...
If I could make alts for upvote-bombing stuff, this would be my first target.

Who here pronounces CIWS as "CWIS"? I do.
I will now pull an internet explorer moment, and now step in to help you.
This looks like a designer at Grumman tried putting two extra hours for $2 extra and then quit 14 minutes in lol.
Interesting detail...

I'm joining SPGS as a mobile player who has ideas for a laser cannon and a photon cannon (space-inspired fantasy).

Good luck in school.
The gif in demonstration for Labels is blurry, and I might wanna use it. What was the code in the gif specifically?
@asteroidbook345 Oh wups.

Ok wait I did some research. Apparently that thing I thought was just God dumping lots of water on us was a freaking HURRICANE...
...underwhelming in my part of New York, but I've seen the damage Ida did and I'm like "holy s*".
Wait there was a hurricane?
Where do you use that line of code?@FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFair

Look at the newest version of the model.

Type T or something like that, and I’ll tag you.
@BeastHunter Ok why does everyone keep saying T?
This is my attempt at a Vought O2U Kingfisher for the USS Montana inbound (runway for scale as to how massive this thing will be).
QUICK NOTE EVERYONE
I gave it a small overhaul from what you see in the picture. The new updated model has more AA guns, less drag points, and more lag lol.
I made a custom six-engined 40-bomb bomber. Think you could take a look and give me some tweaks please? (note: I know the color's screwy...)
@AWESOMENESS360 uhh yeah. Also it could be a ship transport (those exist; there was a picture of a damaged Arleigh Burke-class getting carried by one).
“LES GO FIND DA GORLSZ”
“Banana”
That’s actually a very good design. U-shaped boats (twin hull, which increases stability).
...and then I'm making bigger lol.
Should I begin redeveloping the airborne battleships or is the Montana good enough?
Coming soon. I said I'd launch a heavy tank design after the gauges were added, so I might as well finish this first.

The design of this is pretty nice.
The drag parts... less so lol.
@asteroidbook345 ...wait so the app that's on my iPad is a ghost app?
This reminds me of the T110E4...

I built a tank, and am now waiting for the gauges to come out so it'd look better.
.
Good luck on getting the gauges in, supermarine.
H A H A M E M E G U N
MMM Mobile friendly
Mmmm numbers.
This is the first heavy tank I've ever constructed in it's fullest, but it isn't the first tank I've ever constructed.
.
COMING OUT after the gauge part is added.
Is this also gonna be with mobile/PC?
UPDATE
So I decided to leave the R179 project for later on. For now, I'ma get into something besides warships that's armored...
