Airships = Warship, High Altitude Blimp = Submarine?
Chmielewski:
What I'm talking about (and not only me), that large blimps are easy to detect. Even the large airships can't get higher 7000 m (taking as an example zeppelines of first world war). The Goi's ships can't get higher 3000 m, I'm sure of it.
The larger ship gets, the bigger it's engines are and the easier it becomes to detect (Swizy gave an exaple here). They are still should be pretty good as bombers, though.
This discussion made me wander with another question: what gas is used in balloons here in GoI? I doubt that it's hydrogen, because it's highly explosive. Any ideas?
Also, I just MUST leave this photo here, it's gorgeous.
macmacnick:
Helium.
Piemanlives:
Knowing that hydrogen is a tool, as Mac said it has to be helium, it's the standard gas that we use in modern airships so it's likely that is what the vessels of GoI use, unless they are fueled by unobtainium.
Swizy:
It can't be any gas known to us. Otherwise no ship in goio would rise the slightest. it must be something even lighter then hydrogen, which is impossible but you know... airships.
Tropo:
"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"
hydrogen is used in the above practise
helium is heavryer then hydrogen thats why in guns of icarus you go up faster when you use hydrogen
hyrogen also compresses more then helium
helium is more dangerous then hydrogen
what a lot of people think of when that think of airships is old and also wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lxSuuE9QDs

but what you really should be thinking is the amazing practical advertise of air shipping
