But they weren't just fighting two obvious enemies, they also had a major part of their defences fall into enemy hands unexpectedly which would have caught a lot of people off guard. And by taking out the airships, Roman insured there was no one to deal with the flying Grimm except people who are ground-based, which is not the ideal way to deal with fliers. As counter-intuitive as it seems without this bit of context, the lack of a massive Atlesian military presence would have probably improved their odds of successfully keeping Beacon from getting overrun by Grimm.
