    I legitimately thought this is a overly massive ship capable of fighting other planes in a head to head combat. Literal dogfights like those of WW2

    @SpiritusRaptor lol arleady made them myself. But still thanks. Mine have the new blur effect, yours don't. I will save them anyways. Do you want to see the build I used this technique on?

    There are very small guns which are modded on each side which eject the shells... look close when firing and you will see them. Then just take them and save as a sub assembly.

    @Tabasco NOT ALL AIRSHIPS ARE ZEPPELINS! ONLY AIRSHIPS MADE BY THE ZEPPELIN COMPANY ARE OFFICIAL ZEPPELINS!

    It’s actually quite simple, it’s a hook on the blimp, and a ring thing on the plane. There’s a gyro and airbrakes on the plane(not realistic but it really helps) @SpiritusRaptor

    I don’t know how I missed this! This is amazing. I think I found a way to make the plane join back up with the airship, and it can be used as many times as you want. Want to see it (in unlisted)

    The zeppelin, the turrets on it remind of the zeppelins from Crimson Skies.

    Dear SpiritusRaptor, you should make a tiny version of this airship to deploy from a bigger airship! #Airshipseption
