Last 6 days I play with practice longsword, gen before that I used pitchfork, I use whatever I can find on the battlefield regardless do I have wpf for it or not. I'm not the right man to answer your question
Good for you
but sadly, cav rely on their horse
I know this will probably tweaked to reasonable values, but nevertheless this change doesn't go in the right direction.
Horses should be more even in terms of maneuver. Reducing maneuver across the board means buffing high maneuver horses.
2h shouldn't outrange lances.
I'd like to see a complete revamp of the pike : 3 slots unsheathable, 350 or more length, slower (~60), more damage than now (26 or The rider's armor weight should decrease the horse maneuver or the effective rider's riding skill.
Footmen shouldn't be able to "block" horses by standing in front of it when the horse tries to start. That makes 0 sense.
Fix the weird horseback block effect that sometimes protects the horse when the rider blocks an attack that should hit the horse.
Couched lances at ~35 speed should oneshot. Everyone. Being that unaware should come with a proper punishment. You only need one guy with a pike around to be 100% safe.
