Wanderer Scout Airship [Platinum Special]

Auto Credit Based on LarryTad's Pre-WW2 Challenge (CLOSED)

THANK YOU ALL FOR PLATINUM!

History:

In 1922, this class of airship was designed and built for the Coalition to serve as a long-range battlefield scout and to assist in search and rescue operations. While fast for an airship, it saw moderate success in the role because it was defenseless and too slow to outrun enemy fighters. A lead engineer behind the LF-1 project saw potential in the design. He proposed the idea to mount an LF-1 to the airship to increase the scouting range and provide defensive armament. The idea was a success, and the design served successfully for several years.

Thank you all again for platinum! Good luck!

    And if want you could add a bomb via (rate(ammo("weapon name"))<0?1:0)*(Activate6=1?1:0) put that into a pylon and name a cannon on the main build @BeastHunter

    @DeveloperKorzalerke It’s probably because they’re listed in blocks. I haven’t tested it and I have no plans to.

    @BeastHunter Oddly enough my alt is still listed on "Blocks", not sure why.

    @BeastHunter I can confirm: unblocking does work as expected, not sure what went wrong for you, might've been a website bug as i said before.

    @LarryTad You’re welcome! I pitch the airship up when detaching the plane and pitch the plane down.

    Great entry! Flies ok with the plane attached but, when I try to detach the plane, the plane pulls up and breaks its prop on the balloon. Plane fly's pretty good though when it gets detached. Good entry. Thank you for entering your build in the challenge.

    @AnHNWhiteCornet Thanks! I couldn’t make it dock either. I almost abandoned the project until I found out WWI airship aircraft carriers couldn’t dock again anyway.

    Oh cool! Reminds me of a Airship Carrier project I tried building a while ago. I could never figure out how to dock the aircraft to the airship once I launched them though. Kinda wan to dust it off the shelf now.
    Beautiful work @Beasthunter

    @KorzalerkeThe2nd Ok so apparently you can't get tagged by a blocked user, i'm pretty sure that isn't mentioned so good to know.

    @BeastHunter I'm pretty sure blocks aren't supposed to be permanent, i'll try creating an alt and blocking it to check (it will take 3 days to be able to unblock it though, so results will take awhile).

    @DeveloperKorzalerke There isn’t, and I don’t really need to unblock them anyway. It just means I won’t block anyone else.

    @BeastHunter Have you tried going into the "Blocks" page on your profile to see if there's a unblock button there?
