I know most of us have played as calvary in NW before and I feel it is pretty unrealistic in my view I mean I enjoy the unit of Calvary but to me half the time I ride by and slash someone it does no damage by a horse trample damage and that's it but when I see my sword go straight there the enemy and do nothing. Even as I run into the enemy sometimes I again see my sword go into them and do nothing.
Am I just not pro enough? NW buggy engine? Lag?
What are your guys thoughts?
In Battle Cry of Freedom I would like to see a new and improved cav with a better melee system to work them. Maybe than I'd play it more often and enjoy it more.

Most often the reason why you see your weapon go through someone is because of server lag or just difference in ping. If not, then aiming down more than you believe correct should do something to alleviate the problem. As for "unrealistic" damage, it would be silly for the weapons to be a one-hit kill every time, so that's why damage is how it is, not to mention that hitting a player in non-critical areas would not immediately kill him/her anyway.
I'm hoping to see improvements in BCoF as well. :)

Yes I see we'll ill be hoping for better cav in BCOF

There is a place in hell for cav and its full of trees.

Lol

This is the place for noob Cav :P
Water is way more better to stop cav...Especially an ocean. ;D

You need more than an ocean to stop cavalry, eh Cooper ? :D

I'm already picturing horses with giant balloons strapped to them skimming across the waves.
-
Uuuuuuh, and all the noob infantrymen are coming and flaming about the pros who play cavalry. :D

Welcome to nam boy where the cav are in the trees

not to be rude, but it is because you are not pro enough (with a little practice you should be). when I play cavalry, the only time I fail to get a kill Is when I completely missed, and I would have missed in real life.
-
Hopefully there will be more force behind cavalry charges this time around. I mean one bayonet stab can't really kill a horse that's charging towards you. Hopefully trample damage aswell!

Because you are oh so pro in real life.

I just want the cavalry to be able to do three things: 1.) Accurate, realistic melee fighting 2.) The ability to get your horse shot out from beneath you like it would've in a realistic battle 3.) Fight similar to light infantry when dismounted... Similar to dragoon style I suppose. If they put that in there, they'd have me.
-
The latter two are possible in Napoleonic Wars, so I assume that it will be so in this game as well.
The one thing I want for cavalry more than anything is the ability to lean out of the saddle when fighting, instead of sitting rigidly upright. It would go a long way towards Hampton's first point.
-
Falling from your horse? realisticly, you won't be able to walk anymore. Would you want that?

That's bullshit Riddlez. You can fall of your horse and be perfectly fine.
-
Yeah, I was just reading that at Gettysburg one Union commander had his horse shot out from under him 3 times during the course of one of the days of the battle -- it's certainly possible to be completely okay from such an event.
-
I like the precedent, set by NW, that a single stab from infantry can dehorse a rider at speed. It levels the playing field though I could see some changes to cav overall. There are three things I would like to see, a mounted thrust would do more damage the slash do less and you can couch your sword forward vs. enemy cav.

Cav is powerful. But easy to take down if you know how.

Only cavs will probably be commanders

Calvary= The hill outside of Jerusalem where Jesus died.
Cavalry= Mounted soldiers.
SPELLING MATTERS!

It's spelled "C-a-v-a-l-r-y" not "C-a-l-v-a-r-y" :P
