Excellent! Just what is needed.

Nice mission...BUT..I saw an A.I. SPAD collide with the Zeppelin and it just bounced off and fell. Does the Zeppelin have a damage model that takes into account collisions?

Very Good. Thanks.

Seems that way. The AI currently seems prone to ramming when it runs out of ammo, which is probably what needs fixing most. I can't imagine anyone intentionally ramming a Zeppelin IRL.

surely “Hell’s Angels” is an histiorical accurate depiction of WW1 flying? 😛

 

After his machine guns jam or run out of ammunition, the last British pilot aloft dives his fighter into the dirigible, setting it ablaze.
