Do it DICE.
DO IT!!!
This is the #1 thing on my wishlist for BF1. Im sure you guys who played BF2142 remember how freakin epic this mode was. Obviously due to limitations with the technology during WW1 it would have to be altered quite a bit, but Im confident DICE could pull it off.
I don’t think it could work. I mean, how would you get on and off the zeppelins?
Well, maybe balloon assaults or landing planes on the top, not historically accurate but who wouldnt do it here?

a bomber or balloon could act as a mobile spawn point.
i am sure there are walkways inside the airships too so there will be room to battle inside.
Wow… battle inside an airship… You guys cant be serious. Either they make a slightly arcadeish WWI game, but that would be boring for most of the people, or complete nonsense sci-fi with “titan airship battles”…
Im not saying that it wont be amazing… I would love to see and play something like that, but then they should label it like “sci-fi fps game in alternative WW1-like era”

whats sci fi about it?
That it is completely unrealistic, but not pure fantasy Thus science-fiction. You see… How would you board enemy airship in order to fight there?? By planes? How? Maybe some “stealth” infiltration", but that’s not the style of Battlefield…
What about just that? a scyfi mode about boarding zepplins? pure gameplay goodness !

Each team has an Airship to protect.
You capture ground AA to damage the enemies Airship, the damage could be a tear allowing the Helium out and the Airship eventually comes crashing down.Also when the tear appears it opens observation ballon spawn points allowing you to parachute to the enemies Airship where you enter through the tear fighting along gangways to the bottom of the Airship to the cockpit where you plant a bomb and escape.
i really like that idea, with the zeppelin having mg defences on top and on nacelles for the defenders.
Do none of you know how an airship works? The pig section filled with helium doesn’t have people in it. It’s essentially just a big balloon. The people go under the balloon. There is a bridge, mounted guns and walkways. Like a blimp, the pilot is on the underside of the blimp. The only way to access the interior would be from the bottom. You can’t go thru the top. Also, you can’t fire cannons at an airship without it exploding. Helium is flammable. The entire airship is one big bomb. Maybe if it was AA it would work. It’s very hard to crash a zeppelin. Bullet holes are nothing to a zeppelin due to its size. Airplanes had to use incendiary bullets to get them to catch on fire.

the ballon has a metal skeleton in it so their could be walkways in it too.
Helium is non flammable, you are getting mixed up with Hydrogen.
so like you said the AA could use incendiary rounds and burn entrances to enter.
Redact the entirety of what I said. I did some research but clearly not enough.
You could have a stealth airship disgused as a cloud for infiltration obviously! 
This could work as a DLC. It could be a Steam-punk-like thing, giving a blimp-base-invasion mode.
The whole game doesn’t have to be completely serious. Bf4 had a Titan base and hovertanks in the Final Stand DLC, and 2143 had futuristic combat. Battlefield obviously isn’t completely based in factual history.
Airships had metal skins and interior walkways, but you would still be required to use a ladder or a rope to
either ascend or descend to the bridge.
Aircraft with incendiary rounds could still puncher the skin and the internal bladder, which would then ignite the hydrogen.
I would actual like a Titan mode U-Boat v U-Boat where the both start underwater you job capture the surface vessels to drop death charges to eventually force them to the surfaces where they then could be boarded.
I was really hoping for BF2143 next, but from what I’ve seen of BF1 so far, I’m won over.
The real reason to want 2143 was for a return of Titan Mode, so “Airship Mode” would really be the icing on the cake. Fighting on the airship could be very cool, with lots exposed walk-ways and ladders and stuff.
For getting on in the first place, a rifle launched grapnel hook would not be too far fetched, I think.
Things like this are just as ridiculous as all the future that seems to be the hype now a days.
Do you want a some what based on real life video game or do you want some highly unrealistic ?
Games that try to do both dont end up well.
Just look at hardline…
I was thinking about spy infiltration. Something like dude dressed up as zeppelin personell in order to capture it during flight. But as I said, thats for a completely different game
Battlefield 2143 and Battlefield 4 did OK.
Being based on real like doesn’t automatically make a game good.
