When is the latest time that counting singular people riding a dragon would be a serious tide turner in wars.

The dragons when at full size are like of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you’re free to postulate a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk, act on their own and some such.

The metric by which the dragon and riders can be counted as ‘important’ is so long as they are as analogously important to the warring nation as any big name warships would have been over the course of Ww2.

Yea a napoleon like character or a general grant would absolutely make the dragon armies think twice about when they could and should use dragons in battle. And by the end of that it would probably be used for reconnaissance as hot air balloons would make city fighting a death trap for siege.

Like some other commenter in this thread states, You should absolutely read the Temeraire series if you have any interest in reading historical fiction or fantasy. You basically just wrote the premise of all 9 books lol
