Yeah, its not really the fact that bracing is underpowered its more of the fact that if you even flinch and move your mouse the braces is nulled and wont work. My solution to this is to maybe make a button lock for bracing.
But think about it, lancers could get around this so it isnt completely overpowered.
Yea,I like this.
I don't know why you'd do it since I'd think that a stab has a greater reach
This.
Getting the time right is very difficult. Fighting cavalry one on one, sure stab the dude, but when you have 16 cavalry, engaging them individually will lead to infantry Tk's, back stabs, mistakes, and general defeat of the infantry. That's why I think that if infantry have formed in an anti cavalry formation, they should be given an advantage.
Yeah I have seen players do it sometimes. I don't know why you'd do it since I'd think that a stab has a greater reach, at least to my knowledge, is it a 1 hit kill too right?
When you are a closed anti-cav formation, there are almost always Tk's when stabbing, that's why we brace instead. Generally it's a one hit kill, but if a horse runs directly into you, then it won't be killed, that's another thing that I find incredibly silly.

This is why our most used anticav formation is a loose order formation where we spread out an stab any horse we can. (But not spreading too far out)
We generally brace if we have time, or fight them in loose order if it's lancers.
