Why do fuel tanks have so little sides? It really doesn’t feel like I’m editing a circular fuel tank at larger sizes but instead just a polygon.

    @Wenhop this is a really good one, and i agree.
    i wonder why this game has a lower poly fuselage part compared to simple planes.
    i was wondering why simpleplanes had better smoothness and found out the low number of sides

    @MirazAerospace That’s not what I meant but that’s a good suggestion too. I meant that as the radius of the tank increases the amount of sides it has does too to preserve the perceived level of detail.

    @Wenhop I agree. They should make it’s polygon change with the graphics settings

    that would cause a topological nightmare for adapters

    @MirazAerospace I know but it’s just too low poly. I feel like there should be a mechanic where fuel tanks add more sides the larger they get to preserve detail.

    That is so we can count all the sides

    This game is not only meant for pc. Many people play it on their phones. It has to be low poly for performance.
