Airships = Warship, High Altitude Blimp = Submarine?
The Sky Wolf:
Guns of Icarus is pretty much reversed naval combat in the sky. Therefore anything that would've been used by the Navy for deep sea purposes should have an Airship-Air Force equivalent for high altitude purposes?
Airships = Warship, while a High Altitude Blimb = Submarine? Stealth Bombers are basically the Submarines of the sky.. So maybe in Adventure Mode there might be one reason or another to use large blimps loaded with millions of cubic tons of hydrogen for high altitude stealth missions.
What do you think?
Chmielewski:
"Large", "stealth" and "sky" are not very match each other. Only when clouds are low, possibly - and still very slow, I think.
Thing is, the main thing about stealth aircraft is that they're difficult to locate with radars. There's no such thing as radar (I'm quite sure of it) in GoI world, so "stealth" airship is nonsense in general. Oh I think it´s something to discuss!
There would be large ships in Coop and Adventure mode though. Like, boss ships.
Swizy:
this is a sound mirror. It was used during the first world war to detect german bomber zeppelin invading england. They can detect sounds of these vessels up to 25 miles away. it's quite possible to have a early warning system in goio.
but back on topic, high altitude blimps wouldn't be called submarine but rather surmarine. There certainly are different classes of airships. From top it'd be cool to see something like the goliath from castle in the sky:
highly armored and large guns but very little momentum and top speed. from there on everything down to the squid.
Tropo:
millions of cubic tons of hydrogen for high altitude " Hydrogen not measure in cubic as it is a gas how ever i understand
actually in today's blimps and future blimps they can and do compress large storage vessel inside the balloons and they can release them at any time
was originally design so a air ship could land unload cargo and then take off

Large zeppelins to carry masses of bombs relatively quietly.. and High altitude is one of the methods for air force stealth because.. Do I have to explain that?
