I honestly think 1erPLG should be on the NA hall of fame regiment list.
Its been a long time, but I believe several other cavalry regiments over time challenged them to 1v1 back in the days when the PLG was still kind of young and after the embarrassing defeats they all ended up disbanding, because it was so one sided.
I'd like to think we made cavalry feared within the NA community to the point rule changes had to be made against us.
What is anti cav?
anyways, it was sad for years the plg could/did charge into the entire enemy team every 3rd map/last round of the lb and kill half(or more. i got 20+ kills a few times doing this) of the enemy team. The fact that was successful pretty much every time is a sign to both how good the plg was and the enemy team wasn't.(generally PA and rddts)
for a long time the plg was easily the best na cav around. tho you also have to consider there was not much competition when it came to cav regiments. There were a handful at most and some "detachments"(lol) but generally they weren't that good. Of the 1v1 i seen the plg do back in 2013, only the first one was a challenge.(almost lost the first map. truth be told, i carried a lot of the plg that day. plg at that time were still not at their peak and most of the people in the regiment were ok.) that was against the 1stRGJ with their new detachment in feb of 2013 i believe. all of the other 1v1 i seen or heard about were clear victories.(for 2013 anyways)
the only other reg that was "decent"(keep in mind being decent is basically a tad better than being a noob at cav. for whatever reason, people believe being average as cav makes you really good. perhaps if you compare it to someone who has never played cav) was hyperlites/cops. they never did a 1v1 but did face off in events.(cop would assign us the crappier team and including making us brits before they had hussars) tho they only beat the plg one round(half of the plg was killed by cannons throughout the entire round. there was no cover so people got picked off one at a time. ) this was April or so of 2013.
anyways i would say their peak was the first half of 2013. some of their veteran players went inactive or quit later in the year and while in later years they got back to being great, i still don't think they are as good as they were in 2013. all of the above i have said is from the days i trained/trained with or played at events with the plg.(mainly 2013/2014) the 1lh came later and down the road(year +?) some plg left and joined them. idk which one of them would be better now a days? idk if there is any clear cut best cav regiment anymore. but in 2013 and i would say 2014 plg were best na cav for many of the reasons i listed above.
