WW1 "Sea Scout" Airship [Weapons DLC Update]
Updated for weapons DLC, also changed engine to achieve historical speed of 46 Knots.
A 1:1 replica of a British “Sea Scout Zero” type airship. Used in WW1 for hunting submarines and protecting convoys approaching British ports. Features phantom force floating, 1 MG for the observer, and 4 bombs (If dropped from about 25-30m they will detonate on a submarine at periscope depth.
After seeing the recent airships on the workshop, I had to make one for myself. I have unashamedly stolen parts from these creations:

—> Spawns in Large Ship Editor
—>Central cockpit is Pilot, Forward is radio operator/gunner and Rear is Flight Engineer.
—>Don’t tap a/d, be quite firm otherwise the phantom steering can be a bit off – A short tap makes it turn the wrong way, although I use this on purpose for small adjustments.
– Still has this issue at slow speed, however above 30 knots the rudder takes over, avoiding this issue at high speed.
