And you guys seems to just take single glance on wanted direction, and there you go.

Anyways, cool shots. How fast does that buble goes, and can it outrun your sub? (of course depending on the weather)

Maximum speed = 90 knots

Oh shi-

Yeah....just a touch faster than a surfaced U-boat

Well atleast you finally have a chance to test your deck gun AA skills.

Sailor Steve · 09-18-08, 11:39 AM

Yeah, it's a big, slow target.

But so are you.

But I'm the big, slow target, with 88 gun, 4x20mm gun, and 2 doudle-barreled AA guns.

Strongest eats the weakest

Sailor Steve · 09-18-08, 12:00 PM

One bomb, brother. Or one depth charge.

Blimps killed more u-boats than u-boats killed blimps.

Well, actually it was one for one. But I could be the one.

And the blimps called in more help and directed traffic, so they still helped win.

So there.:p

Couldnt a AA shell make a Hindenburg 2.

sharkbit · 09-18-08, 01:56 PM

Not sure, but I bet they didn't fill them up with hydrogen, an explosive gas.
I believe helium was used, or hot air from politicians.

Sailor Steve · 09-18-08, 04:57 PM

I am sure, and one of the things that led to the Hindenburg disaster was the fact that the United States owned the helium market. Not as light as hydrogen, but absolutely stable. So, no boom-boom, just holey blimp and no more floaty-floaty.

I think it would run out of floaty stuff after it gets a hole in it.

In reality, the K-Ships had a number of Gas bags.
So one or two holes didn't make much of a difference.
BUT!!
To maintain flight it depended on it's Engines.
Much like any aircraft.
Take the engines out?
It goes down!!
