the balloons used by the USN were filled with helium, which is not highly explosive.

Many people think that if a balloon is shot with a gun it will explode violently with only a few hits... the reason most people think this is because of the Hindenburg accident.

The Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen which is HIGHLY combustible.

The only way to bring down a blimp in SH3, is to fill it with holes so all the helium leaks out.

problem is you have to fill it with lots of holes.
