Thank you sir! smile

I should note in the first pic, there are four cells. The first one was shot at and it went up, followed by the other three. When it blows, it doesn't all happen at once but in sections.

The last two pics are after two and a half minutes of burning. After the canvas sections burn away the fire dies and all that is left is the frame. Because of the height this was blown up at, when it hit the ground it broke up. But it is possible for the Zeppelin to remain intact after it meets the ground if the altitude is low enough and if it does not go into a steep dive right away.

Do you get a "Oh the humanity!" sound effect playing when it hits the ground?

Great damage model. Make sure there's a LOT of fire, though. Those things burned like crazy.
