Oh okay, I'd understand if the officers were impoverished whilst on campaign but it makes sense; there family's have money so it's all good. I thought you meant that most British officers and their family's were fully broke.

I'd like to see these letters. And did you mean that they were begging their parents and family, or banks and friends?

Most British officers were insanely in debt.

I know I'm late, but I don't think the crosshair should be removed because someone could just re-add it? Correct me if I'm wrong but this won't be fair to players who don't receive the addition of a crosshair if someone creates a mod for it or for themselves.

that will be awesome!
Maybe you could do some anims for my mod 

Yes maybe, however I am very new to animating and I dont know how this will go. If I get any better and I get more time perhaps I could help you out.

Indeed, firing at charge would be completely ineffective... The rifle/muskets most cavalrymen had was needed after : for example if they were dismounted to defend themselves against another cavalryman. As Duuring said it was used for the scouting duty, for example if they have to dismount and explore houses in a village.

Yes, I have done some research into the topic and I have found out that yes, cavalry did use firearms for what you mentioned, attacking/ searching villages and for covering retreats or skirmishes. Each squad of cavalry on the battlefield would have a small unit of flankers (which was the term I found used) carried firearms and were deployed at either the top or the bottom of the column or line so they could cover a retreat whilst the main body of the cavalry falls back or skirmish. Flanker/flanquer basically means skirmisher

Historical Discussion / Firearm usage of Cavalry during the Napoleonic Wars

I know that light dragoons and other mounted infantry used firearms amongst the ranks, but I am here to ask if other cavalry types did: would a hussar maybe carry a musketoon or pistol and fire it just before the charge or did this not happen? I would also like to ask the same for every type of cavalry, as fire arms seem plentiful in the early 19th century and it would be no trouble for cavalry to adopt their usage. I am aware of polish uhlan/lancer tactics where every rank but the first (who carried lances) would carry a musketoon, carbine or pistol.
