My thinking was that concealment would be the tactic’s biggest advantage, but of course, concealment is just that. Any moderate amount of flak would more than likely injure or kill any pegasi hiding in any given cloud, but given it’d be more or less a waste of ammo to fire into every cloud you see, they’d first have to figure out if pegasi were there or not. I also imagine the fight is only brought up to the clouds when an engagement on the ground stalls, forcing officers to gamble with that tactic in the hopes of somehow turning the tide in either side’s favor, and in the absence of sufficient air coverage from aircraft due to operational losses or strain, pegasi could potentially offer a sufficient stop-gap if there were enough of them (and enough clouds) to prove a hassle for fighters to deal with.

I don’t understand the point of air infantry. There’s no cover at all in the sky, they can’t go as fast as planes and any injury is way more likely to result in a casualty compared to land infantry.
The only upside is that being so small, they might not shown on radar and therefore able to ambush the enemy from cloud concealment.

Very carefully

we need more WW1 styled ponies

I still don’t understand how ponies hold guns. XD
