Zeppelin companies?

[grandadmiralT]

do you think we could ever get a zeppelin dlc? they could be use for air supremacy missions or you could research the USS Macon blueprints and have flying aircraft carriers. maybe have goodyear as a government adviser to reduce airship costs? the Germans could have von zepplin too. i dont know this is a small idea but i think it could be fun

I believe the WW1 mod uses zepplins as strategic bombers and later the research line morphs into becoming strategic fixed wing bomber craft themselves.

Outside of very token coastline naval spotting/scouting by the U.S., zepplins/dirigibles did not play a part in WW2.

I read somewhere that supposedly, the last privateer ship to be given a Letter of Marque by the US government, was one of the Goodyear airships.

Don't get me wrong, Zeppelins are cool, but with Ww2 planes and AAA, you may as well ask for them to implement longbowmen, they'd be about as effective unfortunately.

I can really imagine the 8,8 Crew sitting there and watching this American Blimp slowly fly over Germany, while they're profoundly confused if this is a joke...

No seriously zeppelins never played a role in world war 2, they were even outdated in World war 1. Blimps were used to stop the enemy from using low flying attack planes but that was also no so effective. There is however the Great war mod which features zeppelins (even with 3D model sprites) so check that out.

We really need are recon aircraft.... I have over 500 airplanes in the air but can't see farther than 10Klicks.

The Germans used a couple in 1939 for ELINT over the North Sea I think, but quickly realised they were a bad idea.
