Another one bites the dust

Fun fact, Nicola Tesla tried to marry a pigeon. The man went insane later in life. Scammed the government into paying him to build a death ready.
So now I have the image of Qrow somehow joining a murder, and whole generations of Crows knowing about their weird uncle who talks funny but can get the best food.
The real secret to his success, an army of birds who help their uncle. Once he brings up his human nieces both Yang and Ruby are always followed by at least one Crow. The crows also bully Tai.
I think it's insane how underdeveloped anything militaristic is. Like, it's like they threw all their eggs in one basket, specifically the Huntsman / Aura User Basket. I mean, if Aura Users can't take out Maidens, why not develop technology that can, it's not like they're immune to damage, a big enough explosive should do the trick? I know Maidens aren't a priority, but the same thought applies to Grimm, especially massive ones / ones that not even a team of Veteran Huntsmen can take down.
You need a mass chaff clearer, weaponized bird strikes only get more effective the faster the planes. The beehive round from Vietnam would do great for that
Hard disagree. I think given the extensive amount of Grimm I think that highspeed fighters would be in danger of ending up with Grimm filling the sky with their bodies and taking down stuff that way. We only see small fast transports in the show all other aircraft in the show are slow and heavily armed.

I think it depends on just WHY they would be in the area. Most of the larger airships are meant to be used to transport large numbers of people, act as a base, and so on. They are the equivalant of a command deck like a Star Destroyer in Star Wars. Not the fastest but heavily armored and armed due to the amount of bodies needed to keep safe and being crucial for mission control.Hard disagree.

This is true. And another factor is how fast, maneuverable, and resistant to damage some Grimm can be. Insect like ones probably aren't that durable and I doubt a Nevermore would be able to survive a missile strike to the face.Yeah but counterpoint: The show sucks and the canon has so many holes in it you may as well write your own head canon to make it make sense.

The smaller, swifter vessels being used to transport people and Hunters into and away from an area makes sense strategically. But the fact that we the viewers are being focused on the actions of Team RWBY and other key characters mean that we are missing other possible uses. A highly mobile, armed airship would make sense for scouting and thinning out Grimm. Especially specially designed ones to take out highly armored, highly durable Grimm just like why the Warthog is meant for dealing with tanks with one of the things General Electric made for the military.
As for using a force to take on a large number of aerial Grimm through smaller, lighter aircrafts? I do agree with you on that not being as likely when something like a Anti-Air defence force using the more heavily armored, larger airships might work better. Even if only to act like a shield for the people.

You are 100% correct about that.The thing is, a lot of people seem to approach things like "It's not perfect so they'd never build it." when it comes to adding things like strike fighters to Remnant. Which is ridiculous.
The thing I would like to point out is this. How did they develop the airships in the first place along with bullheads? Because if anything, those would be the more advanced successors to planes. All it would take to change a bullhead into a fighter is a few tweaks to the design and payload after all.Will make this longer later, but something to consider. Would remnant even get planes?. Think about it, early planes were crap. They were used because air superiority is just that good that even a crap air craft is an advantage.
But on remnant the early planes would be so much weaker than Grimm or airships that they might never develop properly.
I'll go into more details in a bit but that's my thesis.
Okay so here's the full thing. First things first, I do think Remnant would develop flight and probably some kind of engine powered glider ( aka a traditional aircraft) this is just an alt history look at how the conditions of Remnant could change the development of flight.Will make this longer later, but something to consider. Would remnant even get planes?. Think about it, early planes were crap. They were used because air superiority is just that good that even a crap air craft is an advantage.

Kinda glossed over this, but because when I say airship I mean a gravity dust powered flying vessel. They don't take really as advanced tech as a plane, being basically just a hunk of junk with a couple of strategically placed dust crystals. You can even kinda see this in a lot of the airships we see, basically just big cabin with gravity dust making it float. Heck Mistral uses literal boats with gravity dust installed pushed by sails.The thing I would like to point out is this. How did they develop the airships in the first place along with bullheads?

...Qrow has some side effects. Part of his drinking is to distract himself from them or hide them.
For instance he has a seed/nut addiction. Sunflower, cashew, pistachio, he probably spends more on them than he does ammo.
Also he has a portable toilet. Because birds aren't exactly known for their iron bowel control.
Fair.You know, in all fairness, if you could fly away after offloading, and you straight gave no fucks and at times liked being a petty asshole, wouldn't you?
Only when in the same warm locationsFair.
I wonder how many times a bird has shit on something nice and shiny belonging to ironwood and how many times it's been Qrow?
I mean, when you actually look at history you get things like Atomic Annie, the artillery piece that shoots nukes and the M7 Ontos Thing, a tank covered in rocket launchers with sniper rifles as spotting. There's plenty of flashy stuff out there, it's just that most people don't know anything about the military. Given that there have been wars, there would be many of the same pressures to make practical and workable military machinesSo military equipment and weapons should be similar.
Instead of the steril, boring, but very pragmatic things we have for military stuff IRL, it should be over the top, cool, probably impractical, and flashy as f*ck.
The multiple big mechs from the show are a good example, and so are the Bullheads (they look like a tiltrotor and a fighter jet did a wierd fusion dance), not really all that practical design, but it looks cool as hell.
