I always thought Crimson Skies was a really goddamn cool game for its alternate history dieselpunk setting. It's a ridiculous game with ridiculous planes doing ridiculous things, you even get to steal the Spruce Goose from Howard Hughes.
In real life, Zeppelins are notoriously fragile and completely unfit for any kind of combat role, they're very easy to cripple and will eat absolute shit in some stormy weather. In Crimson Skies, they're more like airborne hangar ships, loaded down with flak guns and turrets, letting off fighter planes to attack you, rather than your bullets just penetrating the hydrogen envelopes and leaking gas, and/or setting them on fire, these big blimps are bulletproof and near missile proof, the only way to destroy them is to fire rockets into their broadside cannons when they open their hatches.
It's a completely ridiculous game which takes a lot of liberties with aviation and action, and I love it.
