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.

-The Bismarck is indeed a terror to behold for the inexperienced pilot.  Planes with rear arcs and decent speed/acceleration should be able to make short work of the Bismarck by flying on its nose; just be ready to accelerate rapidly or use a [[:Category:Combat Maneuvers|maneuver]] to get out of its arcs if it decides to turn or rush forward.  Planes with side arcs and high maneuverability may be able to do the same (flying off to the side of its nose).  For you pilots flying craft that lack back arcs, you may wish to use [[Split S]] or [[Immelman]] to make passes through the Bismarck from in front; it may take a while but will lose you less armor.  [[Barrel Roll]] is not recommended unless you can ensure that you will land outside its arcs upon finishing the maneuver.  Whatever you do, avoid slugging it out with a Bismarck; it has high armor and firepower.
