Squadron/Collector’s vehicle that is not meant to be competetive in any way, maybe disable random match-making and enable only test flight shenanigans and custom battle spawning.
I’d love to join a re-enactment custom event focusing on WW1 vibes by someone like Krab with aforementioned zeppelins.
i didnt say it needs to be competetive but it does need to be compatible with game maps
this is not done with vehicles
everyone has their hopes but such stuff wont happen
Why is it not compatible may I ask?
What about them? They are compatible for Airships as they are in the event.
go figure why they had to spawn the bomber (blimp) right next to the battle. this can’t happen in actual matches and theres no way gaijin will start making custom spawnpoints for blimps in every map
Ngl the thought of someone bringing one to top tier puts a smile on my face

Nike.
How slow do you think the Zeppelin is? It’s 103km max irl. Thats more than quick enough to reach bombing targets just like the HP,12 at 130-140kmh. The bomber spawn is fine.
The Maus, Tortoise and T-95 don’t get extra close spawns because just as they are slow, they do still make an impact and get to the objectives in time without issue.

Fwiw, you can spawn pure float-planes in ASB on dirt airfields and the game solves the issue by making you spawn like 100 or 200 meters and around 50 km/h above stall speed.
Further, it allows you to respawn after landing a non-carrier plane on an aircraft carrier the same way - airspawn you with some margins above stall speed and 100-200m above the carrier.

EXACTLY! This has already been solved since hydroplanes were added.

either it will climb very high and be nearly unkillable or it will be low and get shredded by everything with the spawns we have
we shouldn’t add vehicles just for people to f around with them in matches
maus tortoise and t95 are fitting for the game and clearly capable regardless

And just like Hydroplanes that unless it’s a PBM-5A Mariner, you belly land on the airfield and repair/rearm and respawn above the airfield like normal.
yes for a legitimate use case
this one is just for f’ing around
events are events. you often get something from them but dont feel entitled to get everything, not everything is compatible with the game
No it’s not? It’s fun to fly but has a very good bombload. And to balance that is slow massive (like all prop bombers of 1.0-2.0) and is fragile.
F117 exists and that plane’s sole use case is “f’ing around” as well.

We genuinly want to see it as a bomber in the game.
I and many others use it seriously for bombing ingame.
Just because it may not be apparent in use case for yourself, doesn’t mean the rest of us in the bomber community and Zeppelin interested community don’t want to use it seriously for bombing.

Isn’t its bombload insufficient to take out bases at 8.0 games in a single pass?
Yes but it’s perfect for bombing pillboxes and using in tandem with squad mates for bombing points.
Hopefully soon we get it as a nuclear jet option since it is the first Nuclear Stealth Bomber in the game.
