of a huge monster thats to big to hit from the ground. also how about just a regular battle on top of the airship but the airship moves from underneath you

After that its just a matter of keeping track of height and speed. other than that it would be a normal battle i suppose.

If something is above you and you are trying ho hit it just calculate the distance. keeping in mind common sense of course. it harder to make an arrow go as far up as it would go horizontal.
