I'm actually quite surprised there aren't any mentions of chemical warfare. Nothing signals the decay of society like mustard gas and covering your face with a piss-stained rag, you know these airships won't want to be carrying traditional explosives when the cargo hold is taking so much fire from literally all directions. Salt the land, poison their water, no wonder the world is such a shithole by the time the game starts.
The dual nature of these airships, cargo transports and heavy weapon platforms and bombers, bringers of both life and death, should have a profound impact on culture. I can imagine your average Joe in a warzone just fucking hating everyone associated with airships, looking out in the distance and seeing the silhouette of an airship and not knowing whether it's there to send supplies or kill everyone in the most horrible way imaginable. I can so easily imagine characters getting a God complex flying these machines, knowing that who lives and dies is entirely their choice, and others half going mad knowing that the people they help are probably going to just murder someone just as horribly.
