Unclear physics in Battlefield 1

My problem of course is that they hang, shouldnt they rather push upwards due to generating lift?

Why couldn't they push from where they are hanging if the structure is rigid enough?

It's a videogame, of course it isn't accurate. This 'airship' was probably designed by people with art degrees

It is a consequence of using a penalty based physics engine.

You sound like you know what's what where can I read up on different kinds of physics engines.

Read anything by Erwin Coumans and Roy Featherstone

Those tanks are certainly not used for floating. Maybe water storage or ballast.

The hydrogen works like a balloon - it is in a very large, very light, mostly empty chamber.

The history of Zeppelins is pretty fascinating. They were initially air fortresses in ww1 because bullets did jack shit to them, the hydrogen cells would continue to provide lift if even if punctured.

But then the british figured out if you used incendiary rounds, the hydrogen, when mixed with oxygen after being punctured, would catch on fire.

why not use helium zeppelins then?

Probably not worth the cost.

There was no easy method to extract the required volumes. Nowadays we could build completely safe zepplins, but aircraft exist and people still remember the Hindenberg disaster so there's no market for them.

Air to air collision.
