@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.

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.
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?

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...
The detail in this is astounding.
The goddamn drag and part count, less so lol.
.
This is why I build my models the way they are.
The preview of the top view, right-side view, and front view kinda ruin it lol.
