The Zeppeliner Heavy Bomber Mk.1 is a very early and primitive attempt to convert a zeppelin airship into a heavy bomber. It is armed with 40 individual 50lb bombs, and has three defensive turrets controlled by a gunner position on the roof of the zeppelin atructure. To control the turrets, switch to the aiming camera provided for you, press 8 to disable flight controls, and press 1 to activate the gunner turrets. They all fire parallel with each other, and roll/pitch controls traverse and elevation for all 3 simultaneously. Keep yourself from aiming downwards too far; you may cause damage to your own airship! Also remember that the vehicle is extremely sluggish, especially so being overloaded with bombs. Upon dropping the bombs, you will find it significantly easier to pilot.
