Alternative Animation for 2h-cav

[Fips]

Today i accidently found out that you can use the animation on foot also on the horse. You just have to hold your attack and then mount your horse while doing so. (I dunno if anyone else noticed that, but tbh i am too lazy to search the forum right now)

Made some screens:

How about adding this as the alternative mode on horse? I mean, the polearme-ani on horse for the swords is just stupid. No reason to use it. But those animations on the screens could actually come in handy while fighting other cav in a close fight. And no, it won't make 2h-cav OP. The Overhead and the thrust only goes only straight forward, so can't hit anything else than other cav with those (And you have to facehug them with your horse to actually hit them). Same with the right- and left-swing i think, no possibility to hit the infantry or archers, they have to jump into that swing to get hit...need to test that, though... maybe it is possible to cut off the heads, mohahaha.

What do you guys think?

It works the other way around too.  I used to use a long hafted blade on duel just so I could dismount with a held sideswing and show off my crazy baton twirling skills with my first attack.  Looked really silly as infantry

Hahahah fantastic, I'm gonna try this out

Does it also go off as fast as it would on foot?

[Vibe]

I say do it!

btw. do morningstar, longsword and so on use 2h or 1h wpf when used on horseback without a shield?

2h

Yep. Exactly like this.

By the way, i tested those animations with lepintoi some days ago. Overheads/Thrusts only hit the enemy when u can manage to bump them while they jump straight infront of you (And that barely happens) or you stand still and sneak in from behind to make your horse kiss the enemies neck and then they can hit him xD
Right- and Leftswing don't hit the infantry unless they jump, too.

So, those animation are really useful to look awesome on your horsie and to kill other cavalry.

works with all weapons.
You can overhead with heavy lances or double thrust with them same way that if you are holding your attack and dismount you still have the horseback animation. looks great 1h lance no shield

The most fun is running around with the mounted 2h right swing on foot
