*Added Whitworth F.K.10

Are you planning to add other Armstrong Whitworth aircraft too? :D
Edit: On another note British did use airships which were armed right?
I already have the F.K.8 but I am going to add the F.K.3 when I get a chance too.
But that’s quite literally it for all Armstrong Whitworth produced that went further than the prototype stage. The F.K.1 built in 1914 had no armament, the F.K.4 was actually made as a gondola for an airship design, the F.K.6 was cancelled after 1 was built due to horrendous performance, and the F.K.9 was a single prototype which became the F.K.10 after the engine was replaced.

I do not see any reason not to add prototypes or one off aircraft. There was also Armadillo if I am not mistaken :). Also if aircraft is not having best performances we have Brs in War Thunder to implement in competitive space, supposedly :P
this thing better be able to turn on a dime for the amount of drag it has and should stall at 15 mph
More stuff to add I guess to tech tree: Bristol M.1 and airships, 23r allegedly even mounting 2-pounders :D.

Yes! Absolutely yes, i really hope gaijin expands a lot more into ww1 and interwar in 2026 there’s a ton of amazing vehicles to be added. So many world war 1 tanks and armored cars/trucks, planes and airships, and even ships.
And in my opinion, airships would be pretty balanced to be honest, they might be big and slow moving, but they have decent strength, can carry a lot of ordnances, and they have a lot of ways for self-defense, a buch of british airships for example were armed with the 2 pounder 40mm pom-pom guns, in addition to their bomb loads and machine guns.
So airships would be capable of serious ground pounding, specially the ones armed with cannons, but they are slow moving and can be punished by aircraft and even ground vehicles that get enough gun elevation if the air ship gets too close to the ground. (To use it’s cannons for example)
I rightly recommend books published by Osprey for informations on ww1 and interwar tanks, ships and planes or airships.

Added the:
Bristol M.1C
SS-Class Airship (Specifically the B.E.2c variant*)
C-Class Airship
SSZ-Class Airship
Vickers 23-Class Airship No.23r
to the suggestion.
*Note I’m not going to add the other 2 variants (Maurice Farman and Whitworth F.K.4) as they would perform almost identical and thus I believe would be more suited as a modification to swap between them.

Amazing! Thanks for listening the follow ups are always great to see :)). You can maybe add them as premiums?
I was thinking about it since the bomber line is getting very big but I thought of trying to keep the premium line for aces or some 1-off aircraft but I might now move 2 of the airships over.
