These threads happen because the PLG changes the tide of battle during NA events.
Seems fair enough. I mean Lancers are pretty much the end all cavalry in NW, unless you shoot them off the horse before they get close to you you're a dead man.
Everytime some experts are spaming again and again about downblocking. Did anyone of those ppl has ever thought that lancer can aim for the horse, which unfortunately isn't allowed to block?
Lancers aren't OP, they have weaknesses just like any other type of troop.
But please don't think you're skilled at melee or good in general because you backstab people with a spear twice as long as a man, on a horse, with a heavy cavalry sabre.

Let it be noted that no lancer unit has a heavy cav sword in the game as a default.
Absolutely! Thank you for the correction, lancers have light cavalry sabres. Even worse because they're faster.
A single lancer, for sure is easy to kill. You just have to be careful with your horse, and keep it alive. Then, a cool block, and you throw yourself on him to slash his face with your sword, he just can't escape.
If you're a cuirassier, then, act like it ! Tank as much as possible, and get your giant sword into the ennemy.
If you're on foot, block and wait for some help :D
But if a cav (hussars for example) regiment face a lancer regiment, which is organized etc, there's way more challenge, and I personnally find this attractive. I'm a cavalry man for 2 years now, and I don't think lancers ruin the game, that's just another way to fight, and it's always good to know how to face a lancer or many.
Anyway, the last time the 7e faced a entire lancer regiment was on MMRussia, against the FK if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, doesn't really matter ;)
I swear if these threads about lancers pop up again im going to cry, anyway a very good lancer is I dont want to say it but near impossible to beat. Why? The reach, yes people may tell you to let them thrust and then attack or block down and block there horse. No this doesnt work against the best lancers, I know from experience of playing both, a good lancer when missing there thrust just increases the gap. Sure you have the slightly faster hussar horse but you cannot guess where the enemy is going to move thus making it very easy for a lancer to dodge you and prepare his next attack. Also a smart lancer and cavalry play in general knows to target the horse ^^
you can, hussar sword is nice and short a good infantry can beat a good hussar due to the range ;) a good hussar or any cavalryman will always get a good score but the smaller sword makes a massive difference
No I'm not a noob -_-
For God's sake I'm a noob because I have a different opinion than you? WTF is that?
My preferred method is to just pointblank them, if they were a cavalry, they deserved it.
Lancers die with a good stabby stabby. :)
Lancers are usually easy to kill for me. You just taunt then into stabbing you by slowly riding the when they commit you go fast as f get in front of their horse while down blocking get their horse to buck while blocking the thrust then go in for the kill.

This is about lancers against other Calvary types.
Outmaneuver the lancer, and attack him in such a way that he cannot respond. I find that from behind generally works. As a hussar, you are both faster and more maneuverable, and you have a skill advantage if the lancer draws his sabre.
Heavy cavalry has to just take the hits they will get, not just from lancers, but from hussars and dragoons, as they all are faster.
Dragoons.. well dragoons are dragoons. If you can't figure out which end of the carbine to point at the lancer, I pity you.
And in the end, you need to remember that lancers are equipped specifically to fight other cavalry, so you will, quite often, die. It is quite simple. When fighting against lancers without a significant skill difference, you will die. Death awaits those who engage lancers without being properly prepared. You. Will. Die.
Did I explain that simply enough?

Yeap, the problem is that they are more effective against infantry than any other cav units (especially after this fucktarded patch)
I think talking about both would be lovely.This is about lancers against other Calvary types.Yeap, the problem is that they are more effective against infantry than any other cav units (especially after this fucktarded patch)
Can you two get together and decide which aspect of lancers you wish to complain about?
The problem, though (from my point of view), is that lancers are a lot easier to get in to. A whack-ass lancer can kill a decent hussar or cuirassier, and a decent lancer has an easier job at killing good cavalry than a decent hussar would have
I can live with the way lancers are now, but I'd like to see them downscaled a bit more.
Yea, that's the problem, I can't think of a way to downgrade em a bit more without making them completely underpowered.
Also, it's almost impossible to make them the worst possible choice, as long as British Light Dragoons are around. :P
It should be quite useless in CQB.
Yea, that's the problem, I can't think of a way to downgrade em a bit more without making them completely underpowered.Maroon, everyone knows British Light Dragoons are the best cav in NW, y u heff to be med at them?
