the only solution is reverting to old lance angle .. but that wont gonna happen ;] anyway what i think the the lance angle changed in the gameplay
old lance angle :
- more skilled cav vs cav, you attack 5 lancers alone and if you are truly better than them you will get 5 kills
- less cav in servers, as they had really hard time vs good ones
- cav more eager to do cav vs cav fights, as its so much more fun in it
- 1h cav having more problems vs lancers
- K:D ratio, same as with new lance angle
- killing aware inf (2h), a little bit easier, due to side thrust, with proper movement you could avoid horse damage better, other inf classes not affected
- killing aware archers, a little bit more easier, as if you miss them first time, you can slow down and work on them intterupting their attack with lance until they are dead
new lance angle :
- less skilled cav vs cav, you attack 5 lancers alone you get 1-2 kills and if you are not dehorsed by now you are probably fleeing from the rest on your back
- more cav in servers, as their chances vs cav are bigger, and its easier to avoid other cav
- cav less eager to do cav vs cav fights, as they will get dehorsed most of the time (due to frontal attack only) and more focused on killing infantry/avoiding other cav
- 1h cav having less problems vs lancers
- K:D ratio, same as with the old lance angle
- killing aware inf (2h), a little bit harder, due to only frontal attack with good inf players you are going for a trade off, 2h hits horse you hit him
- killing aware archers, a little bit more harder, they are very fast on foot, if you miss you dont slow down and work on them from close distance as you will get dehorsed
anyway ;p ever since bluegreen bashed me for dehorsing him, we talked for a bit and now im aiming strictly for him as he is aiming for me ;) maybe a list of some sort with lancers that are aiming for lancers not horses would be a good idea ;]
