Will zeppelins be included in ROF?

I wonder if zeps will be featured?It would be very cool if they do as it would make things more interesting.Zeppelins were just as difficult as bagging an enemy aircraft.It would take time for fliers to match the altitude of the zeppelin and it would take alot of rounds to bag it.Zeppelins also had one or two machine gun posts on the top (not something for acrophobics like me!).The zeppelins should also be featured on multiplayer.And the zeppelin captain would make their own rout and bomb opposing positions.They could use the clouds as cover,possibly have low level escort also.It would be sweet!

I think it was at the ROF main site that I heard that they would in fact have zeppelins. It was an interview that they were doing. They said they were working on zeppelins and were pouring over data to recreate them from the inside out. I assume that they would make them flyable. With the physics and engine ROF will be using, it should be awesome. Imagine putting an incendiary bullet into one of its gas bags as you watch the fabric burn away and the great metal skeleton plunging to earth, the crew bailing out as their ragdolls tumble to the ground below. I hope they include ragdoll physics for the pilots when they bail out.

Since ROF uses a unique engine that creates particles (it makes actual air particles that react accordingly to weather factors), would it not be wise of them to include Henke parachutes for the Germans later in the game? Imagine seeing that!

Good to know that they are creating zepps for the game.Flying them makes things even more incredible
