Redpill me on dragons

F15s are meh in my book. F/A18s are where it’s at

dany's dragons are young, their scales aren't very strong.
the older dragons are very difficult to kill. i don't think scorpions can pierce the older dragons scales. meraxes was old, but she died with a scorpion bolt through the eye.

One Dragon in history was taken out the sky while in flight.

The biggest Dragon in the history of Westoros could only melt the walls of Harrenhal.

>The biggest Dragon in the history of Westoros could only melt the walls of Harrenhal.
Lol what a baby. Why melt it when you can make it explode like dinamite instead?

Drogon has always been much stronger than the others.

I see them as being like fighter aircraft. Fast, maneuverable and deadly, but designed to avoid damage, not soak it up.

Phenomenally shitty writing. That's all the answer that's required. The dragons represent power too great to be employed with finesse, better used as a looming threat and a badge of authority. Outside an absolute fluke, it should take a dragon to kill a dragon. Whoever controls the dragons wins in every scenario that's even remotely symmetrical. They are a pretty effective metaphor for nuclear weapons. It's no accident that it's sandy Dorn that foiled the Targaryens. They don't field armies in the conventional sense. They conduct guerilla campaigns. The masters of the Slaver cities employ similar tactics. You can't use dragons against a foe who refuses to face you in direct combat. Even trying will only end up converting more to their cause. The fight between Oberyn and the Mountain is essentially an allegory for what would happen if the Dornish stopped dancing and abandoned finesse. It might even be a foreshadowing.

The writers should have been smart enough to realize this, that it's not about who can destroy the dragons, but who can control them. They had the chance to explore this with Euron and the horn, but that required too much thought and imagination for them.

Bad example. No F-15 has ever been lost in combat, 104:0 record.

Btw, that's our last gen multi role. It's cute when the rest of the world thinks they can compete. US is real life GoT:40k Targs.

The biggest redpill is realizing the dragons in Game of Thrones are actually wyverns.

Those are wyverns not dragons

fuck GoT and its plot device wyverns

Young dragons can alpha strike. But don't actually have the scales to charge with.

Balerion, Vhagar and Meraxes were near invincible and died of a old age around 200 years old, locked in a death grip and suffocated while killing Caraxes another large dragon, hit in the eye and pierced the brain in a lucky shot over Dornish airspace after already burning down a few fortresses with no scratches.

>Outside an absolute fluke, it should take a dragon to kill a dragon.
not if they're young. drogon is only a couple years old, his scales aren't thick enough to block pussy ass shit like a guy throwing a spear at him

I have seen pictures of a downed F15

Why does their fire breath take out stone towers? Is just sheer force, like a concussive blast?

it was all an inside job so cersie could fake her death
didnt you see that green wildfire?
dragons cant melt stone towers

In the books they should melt the stone like a blowtorch to candle wax.

You know, like Harrenhal.
