A fleet of Bismarcks is truly a terror to behold. They can pack enough cargo for long sieges, have a powerful weapons array, and their propellers allow them to do some of the maneuvers typical blimps can't do. It's slow, but hey... it's a zeppelin.

Fighting the Bismarck[]

With the rear thoroughly protected a Bismark is best attacked from it's nose. A quick loop or careful airbreak can allow you to strike it's nose easily; the Bismark is of course still moving towards you, so be careful to evade as most weaker gun arrangements won't take out a Bismark in one pass. The armor class can make it tough for low tier planes, as certain guns will only damage the Bismark with critical hits.

Due to the rear-only arc set up, the Bismark is exceedingly easy to defeat by using either a tailgun or any forward gun that with more reach than the Bismark's (large) arcs.
