thanks for these bro, i think its cool you show gameplay of a lil bit of everything and using everything on the game like the blimps and not just sniping all the time good shit man props to you and your crew
You need to assign some key to pitch down and pitch up to easily change altitude with airship. I use space to get up and ctrl to get down. This will make your airship agile. Raider airship which you were flying in this vid has HE front gun and it has better spalsh vs infantry. And sea mines. You can have up to 9 mines at the same time. If im not mistaken 1 mine does 70 damage to the boat. I preffer use Observer. It has AP front gun, still it has decent splash. It does a little bit more damage to destroyers, still has 2 hit vs boats. And you have 4 bombs. If you land all 4 you will one shot a destroyer or airship. And you can spot with outlines using binoculars with camera (press 3 while aiming mortar strike or aiming with bombs). The most kills from airship are from the front gun. So you need some one good to use it or use it urself while having a good pilot. Optimal range is about 250 meters and medium altitude someting about the height of the island. Here's the strategy: 1) to kill the destroyer make sure he doest have AA gunner, you have full HP. Get the altitude and drop all the bombs. Try to attack it fromt its face because landing all bombs from the side can be tricky. 2) to kill boats get medium altitude 250 range to the boats, aim front gunner at them and enjoy the show. Just soak boat damage, ur front gunner can kill 3-4 of them if he is good. Just dont move too much. 3) to capture points D-E-F - get to 300 meters of them, use mortar strike on AA to disable it. And descend move into the capture zone . Here's ur back gunner will get the most kills. You can just spot targets for them. Dont forget to make small moves, your gunenrs can be easly sniped including yourself. Always check AA gun, no matter airship was buffed it can kill you pretty quickly 4) to kill enemy airship it's better to dive below him so he can't hit you with his AA gun. But aviod its bombs. -Stay away from C point and fortress gun, Mortar it if you can, it has insane damage vs all ships and has no skill requirements to use it. And stay away from A point. It has 2 AA nests and Tank Hunter kit which can damage your airship from 750 meters. -If destroyer starts to shoot you with all his guns - ascend and run away. Repair, get more altiture and bomb it. -Airship has enough health to survive direct attack on 1 AA gun (or destroyer's AA gun) and bomb it. Still it's risky. -Don't get too high if you expect planes to attack you. Your AA gunenr has blind spots (front\back) and can't aim down. Following these small tips you can finish Heligoland having lots of points, 25-40 kills for the main gunner and about 25 kills for AA gunner. And god knows how many kills for 20mm cannon gunner if you go for killing infantry. P.S. Nice using AI bombs. I've never thought it's possible to kill someone with it.
Hey Matti, I prefer the other variant of the airship as it has a unique spotting ability when using the zoom feature to call an airstrike. I have spotted the tank hunter many times and killed it using the airstrike. Plus the spotting ability helps infantry get more kills, helping your team. I would say the airstrike is good against infantry, l class destroyers and dreadnoughts. However, I would reserve it for the first two as you will get kills that way as the destroyer does not have much health. Yes you can damage the dreadnought but it takes time and you are less likely to get kills that way. I also prefer the other variant of the airship as you can spot enemies below you and torpedo kill them easily. You can just hold the up button to make the airship go up and the down button to go down. I usually let it go to the highest height I can (until the clouds stop you from going higher) and stay far away from the land, that way you can see below enough to call airstrikes and spot enemies, AND AA guns will not be able to reach you. In summary, the spotting ability alone for the other airship variant is why I like it so much better and think it would really help you out. Btw Matti I created a Battlefield one video compiling my top 8 clips that I have with my commentary, it includes many attack plane clips as well so I thought it would interest you, check it out on my channel. Thanks, keep up the great videos, TheCardMagician
Never seen the c-class airship live this long before!
exactly they usually get shot down immediately
Being in one before was like flying in a paper bag.

Thanks, does the keybinds effect all air vehicles, meaning it's the same as planes or are they separated with the airship?
I guess key bindings for airship are the ones for all planes

Using the artillery strike on the Dreadnought and Destroyer is devastating towards them
I have 2 service stars with the airship
Me too 💜 (o^^o) 💜
CNN NEWS:Battlefield’s first C-class airship PRO! Insane!
Lol, fake news =)
That was cool.
You can only have 1 set of mines dropped. They need to be hit by a vehicle (boat).
Dunno, never used an Airship myself, but it kinda seems boring^^' Well at least this was still a bit entertaining since your a good RUclipsr^^
Thanks mate
Oliver Scheele It takes a while to get anywhere. Boring
This was actually a decent run
Anyone know how how to lower the altitude of these airships?
Same keybinds and plane, only it reacts so much slower
Miss the days when Turning Tides was packed with players
I'm honestly surprised legoland never got 24/7 servers.
