Sticking guns on aircraft simply makes them bigger targets, so I would limit airships to use as mobile HQs for long-range/long-duration Hunter missions. I agree. I think airships of this type will only be truly useful in massive operations that span long periods of time and are very far from main base. However, I feel that it may be possible that the airship may be some sort of airborne battleship (bristling with hidden weapons), and thus be used primarily in large scale flagship battles. (We are talking about RWBY, after all.)
