Well, I assumed Zeppelin was there just to give it more German feel. But it's so... comic-book :) I mean, come on, they were obsolete way before WWII, and that's even before radars and AA missiles appeared :)
The only thing a Zeppelin does better than a cargo plane is just hover "up there" indefinitely. Kinda "a cruise liner in the sky" thing -- which they were actually built like, accomodating casinos, concert halls and the like :)
Some parts of Incognito make sense. Neutered -- well, they are shapeshifters, after all, you can see Alucard as a *girl* in the manga. And technology (and the way they reproduce the vampires via it) focuses on asexual means like cloning. OTOH, his body modification didn't work well... They should have made him have functional implants instead of body jewelry... Implants actually enhancing his powers even more. Then again, maybe they had a hard time coming up with how would Alucard defeat him in such a case :)
