Airships are wrong class

[Zuikaku]

Seems that airships are marked as helicopter class which is wrong!

Airships never provided CAS to the troops in combat. They were generaly used for strategic bombings of the cities.
Airships coul'd not land on every field like helicopters. They required rather complex infrastructure and well prepared airfields.
They were replaced by strategic bombers who were much cheaper, smaller and coul'd fly faster.

Part of that is a function of their altitude. They are close air.

Which class do you suggest?

[Zuikaku]

I suggest moving them to strategic bomber class. They were actually used in that role.

In ww1 they were used as strategic bombers. WW2 recon, minesweeping and submarine spotting. So yeah in WW2 it seems more of a patrol duty. Helicopter seems to be the middle ground. Does it mather tho if damage output seems to be 0? How would you be able to use that unit strategicly? Or is there more then 1 airship?

[Zuikaku]

By the start of WW2 nobody actually seriously considered using them in any role. There were some failed experiments with airships untill early '30s. They were more or less obsolete by the 1917 when fixed wing aircraft took over doing strategic bomber missions.

Ah ok. I can remember the hype BG were trying to make. Next patch Airships! I was like, ok what im i supposed to do with that. 0's all over the board and 13km spotting in a 16km hex, yea sure.

[Zuikaku]

Initially, in early stages of WW1 they were decent strategic bombers with long range and heavy payload.

I'd be fine with that
