Zeppelins were hated early in the war, as they were difficult to down and struck at civilian targets. Fortunately, the behemoths were also very spicy.

  • Zeppelins mainly had a higher rate of climb than airplanes which made them harder to shoot down, all tracer rounds were incendiary, and the rockets would rarely fire in the desired direction in WWI. Zeppelins were majorly phased out because they bend from too high of an altitude, so it was harder to hit the target, whereas airplanes could hit very direct targets and fly with lots of control. Side note: the two-seaters in Battlefield were not attack planes, they were observation planes used for taking pictures, they were bad at dogfighting and only ever used as bombers if not observers.

    • The thing was that they were capable of flying far higher than any propellor plane could fly or anti aircraft gun could effectively shoot at the time so they were essentially untouchable until they got over their target and only drop altitude over their target for greater accuracy. On top of that they were also actually able to ascend faster than planes since they just begin going straight up while planes lacking a 1:1 thrust weight ratio (aka: all of them) had to go up on an angle. They were effective at the beginning of the war but just like any arms race the defensive capabilities evolved right along side the offensive so by the middle they were being countered fairly easily and were eventually phased out when they realized maybe normal bombers are more capable in what they actually need them for
