+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted March 10, 2013 View File Airships Dirigibles were used by both sides on all fronts during World War I. Early in the war, they were used for recon and bombing, but were soon replaced by aircraft. However, because they could stay aloft for long periods, and their ability to hover, airships continued to be used for naval operations, especially for scouting and anti-submarine patrols. I have created five different types of airship. They are all identified as "Balloon" and they are all armed with machine guns. Drop them into your Ground Object folder and they will show up over the battlefields for more challenging balloon busting missions. I have included alternate skins for some of them so you can use them for different nations. Historical Notes The R23 and L32 are relatively accurate models of actual airships. The Type M, Type PL, and Type VZ are more or less generic representations of popular airship types which were used by different nations. I have averaged out the national and manufacturer variations, but the overall size and shape is relatively accurate. I have taken liberties with the gondolas and simplified the rigging in order to keep file size down and frame rate up. Installation Instructions Unzip the file and copy the folders you want into your FirstEagles/Objects/GroundObject folder.

+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted August 10, 2015 The airships should explode the same way balloons do. They have no armor at all so they should go after just a few hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yamato74 0 Posted August 11, 2015 The airships should explode the same way balloons do. They have no armor at all so they should go after just a few hits. This is strange. I can explode normal balloons, but these ones I gave all my fire and nothing happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted August 12, 2015 Sorry yamato74, I've done a lot of testing in different terrains and the airships always seem to explode. I don't know what is causing your problem. Try posting a question in the regular forum and see if anyone else is having a similar issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
