You don't win with tactics in this game. You win cavalry battles depending on the individual skill of your members and that your members get a clean charge on the enemy - rather than being charged in the back, or having a bad charge angle. That's it.

There's only a few guidelines which can keep players generally longer alive, but really, that's it.

This theory has been 100% disproven by my regiment many-a time. New members, with little to no individual skill whatsoever, have only learnt the fundamentals of fighting, but know tactics and teamwork far better - succeed and get strong K/D ratios.

Because they follow orders and stay in formation. You might think such a simple thing is easy enough, but it's far harder to enforce in a large cavalry regiment.

Isn't this what this thread is about? Whats is a "clean charge" and how to employ it properly.
---------
Generally linebattles's are my opinion are centered around artillery and thus have disappointingly few tactical decisions involved.
1. The team with the better artillery position has an advantage
2. The team who keeps their artillery alive has an advantage
3. The team who keeps their lines from meeting and unfortunate end by a cannonball has an advantage.

Of course there is a lot of manouvering and tactics going on initially but in battles the primary goal is in my opinion always to take out the enemy artillery.

A good, swift cavalry charge on an unsuspecting regiment could do just as much damage, if not more so, than any cannonball.

Good. 1 vs 1 us and we see how these strategical tactics work out for you when we just purely charge.

Just look at the German community - tons of discipline, and formation trainings, but compared to the international community, very little individual skill. Result = no win.



No offence to the German community.

In my opinion, the best tactic is to let all your teammates die and then try to clutch.

Pros
>no teamkilling
>u look like a hero
>causes lots of enemies to tk

Cons
>you lose.

The pros obviously outnumber the cons

Honestly, in groupfighting, running away is actually a valid tactic. If I ever find myself separated from the group and outnumbered, I just turn around and run. If they follow me, I've managed to take 2+ people out of the fight.

People like you deserve to get only barely backstabbed by the guys chasing you.

I was thinking more along the lines of artillery but okay. Or cav.
