Yes,the pointed noses are for 250-mph and above.(409 km/h+)
If you want to do a 'tank' body based upon the airships it IS okay.
Remember, that you can essentially remove any of the constant-velocity,cylindrical center section to get the length you need.
You can also take liberties with the nose.
The only thing you can't negotiate is the tail.This is where most of the drag will come from if you get it wrong.
