Lord Dick Tim:
And that is why I have the goldfish escorting a pair of blimps while the lines advance under a field of fire.
I imagine well concealed or small, mobile mortar fire would be in high use in this kind of fighting, seeing how each ship would have a sphere of influence that could knock out large emplacements at considerable range.
Weaponry focused on taking them down from the ground would likely be limited to fixed position, mobility of ground to air defense sacrificed in favor of air superiority with controlled lanes of access.
A battle with matched sides would be incredibly violent, fast, and likely inconclusive if neither side could achieve total air superiority.
Charon:
Definitely. That would turn nasty fast.
I'd imagine they would try to salvage the weaponry from downed airships to mount them as anti-airship emplacements, like you mentioned above. Wouldn't expect that combat life expectancy to be above 30 seconds from the moment they open up, either.
Saluted!
Lord Dick Tim:
Oooo... Could you imagine a downed galleon in the canyons, it's guns hidden under tarps on the ruined ship as another ship flys low under the cloud cover just in range?
Dammit I need some screen shots tomorrow so I can draw this.
Helmic:
I bet that would be the common use, it fits the setting so well. Converting the hull into an impromptu bunker, the guns would probably work just fine as ground artillery with some repairs and salvaged parts from those that can't work anymore. It'd actually explain a lot of the extraneous parts on these ships, they're there EXPLICITLY to be used when a ship is shot down so that it can be converted into a bunker.
Charon:
I'm imagining the wreck/bunker being positioned in the shade of that giant hull in the Burren, getting ready to commence the ambush.
I should also note that I'd imagine getting dropped in the Burren would suck.
