Large enough to carry substantial numbers of passengers, one of the most famous rigid airships was the Graf Zeppelin, a dirigible that traveled around the world in 1929. However, like Giffard’s airship, they were lifted by highly flammable hydrogen gas and vulnerable to explosion. Unlike French airships, the German ships had a light framework of metal girders that protected a gas-filled interior. The rigid airship, often known as the “zeppelin” after the last name of its innovator, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, was developed by the Germans in the late 19th century.
His hydrogen-filled blimp carried a three-horsepower steam engine that turned a large propeller and flew at a speed of six miles per hour. So CV’s are the biggest threat to the German BB’s and I’m fine with that because there has to be a counter, and for German BB’s a CV is the strongest counter in most cases (in my experience that is).The airship Hindenburg, the largest dirigible ever built and the pride of Nazi Germany, bursts into flames upon touching its mooring mast in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing 36 passengers and crew-members, on May 6, 1937.įrenchman Henri Giffard constructed the first successful airship in 1852. So most of the time I can counter DD’s with my hydro and secondaries, I can counter CA’s with both my high caliber BB guns and secondaries and I can counter other BB’s with my ability to tank and deal massive amounts of DMG and once again secondaries if they get close enough. You cant expect to have a perfect counter for every situation in every ship, there has to be a weakness. Every ship has a weakness, for German BB’s that weakness is AP bombs and most of the time CV’s in general. Around 90% of the games I play don’t have a CV but when I do get into a CV game in a German BB (especially against a CV with good AP bombs) I just hope for the best. 85% of what I play is German BB’s and they aren’t exactly know for their AA, but as everyone knows they are pretty strong and have great secondaries as well as hydro.
No counter? Sure there is, spec for AA lol.
