Well, since you can't order the crew at the flak guns to shoot at a ship, but can take control of them manually to do so, I would say the same might go for the deck gun... meaning, you couldn't get the crew to shoot at a plane with one, but you could man it yourself and aim at any target you chose.

Altho I'm betting your chances of actually hitting a plane with a deck gun are slim and none. They're hard enough to get a bead on with the flak guns.

Is it worth attacking airships with any/all available armament?
Those things were supposed to be filled with hydrogen during ww2.

Quess not.
I thought couple of flak rounds and huge ball of fire.

US airships never used anything but helium.
