Yeah I guess so. The Zeppelin is proof against shell splinters Flak and 20mm shells. Oh wait that's a good idea, Antarctic picture this an experimental squadron of those jet/propeller heavy fighters with no other weapons except a single 50mm semi automatic cannon, specifically to deal with my Zeppelin. But they only get used after you first attack on it fails, and it say burns one of your cities to the ground.(don't worry this isn't going to be one way, lets say in retaliation you use long range railway arty to level one of my bases or border towns).

1.To burn my cities you would have to fly 10,0000 miles. 2. A zeppelin with that armor would be unable to fly. 3.If it somehow had the fuel and supplies and was not shot down it would take weeks to reach my cities. 4. Any old 80 mm flak cannon could easily shoot down your zeppelins. 5.Zeppelins aren't very practical.

It's not mean't to be practical. This zeppelin is huge, I mean were talking really huge. It's easily has the range to reach you cities. It's armoured with aluminium so it's light but it does sacrifice bomb load for this protection. So it can't Raze cities but it can start fires it's mainly a support weapon for the mustard gas bombers.

It may have the range but It can easily be shot down by ships and aircraft along its slow journey. And zeppelins can't have too much armor or bombs or else they won't float. And those mustard gas bombers are lacking in range. And I doubt the zeppelin could even fly 10,000 feet at all yet alone get back.

Well it does need two dozen Lift engines per side to supplement the gas bags. Also the gas bombers are basically b-36 convairs under a different name 'Six Turnin, Four Burnin'.

Those can't even make it 10,000 miles. Out of range. And they have to get back as well. And zeppelins are just awful as weapons of war in general.

Is it possible they could have been secretly built it somewhere on you land AR, because that could solve the problem (you just might need to edit a post)
Or ignore the technicalities and have something like movie logic work it's works

I was sorta going with movie logic for the airship and who says the bombers are coming back. Pilots are expendable.

I'll edit a post. I'll say we have the crude jet planes and the more advanced ones will be discovered later. I will also remove the air to air missiles from the mix, for now.
