That's litterally suicide, and it won't work. With as far away from the blast as they are, the Scadrians would be lucky to cause the Windrunner mild annoyance.
Scadrian airships would get blown to pieces by the recoil of any gun of sufficent caliber to harm a Rosharan airship.
Actually it does. European armies stood in formation and took turns shooting at each other until WW1.
Looking back we can see that it was a stupid idea, but to them it was the most effective way to engage in combat.
A single human not storing weight would cause their entire ship to collapse, they can't carry heavy weapons.
