More Hitpoints or armor for horse.

Did you test leg shots? I'm curious.

Have you tested that?

ye vs tincan horses i can kill a champ plated charger in 3-4 hits and on the head it takes ages

[Ptolemy]

I meant with arrows/bolts, not with a sword. I know legs shots are more effective with swords.

It could be a missunderstand if archers should aim horse legs to kill them. It's normal to aim head, if you miss you can hit rider.

In battle, when I used my rouncey... he's dead 20 seconds after because 3 arrows hurt him.It's very unbalanced and not fair for cavman because we can't charge enemy with light horse. So i suggest to add more hitpoints or armor for the horses like rouncey, steppe horse, desert horse, palfrey, courser and arabian horse.

Stop riding at enemy spawn trying to get the jump on the enemy team.

Stop trying to engage aware groups of archers.

Ride in when your infantry is about to engage and the enemy is not watching their flanks.

Those horses are meant for skirmishing.

I'm using MW tatars and MW long bow. It's really nice for killing horses. Non plated horses die mostly in 3 shots (sometimes 2) in body, 6 pd 40 cut dmg. If hoseman is charging me I can deliver him or his hors huge dmg.
Arbelasts should be able to one-shot a horse. I was playing an x-bow long time ago and I know how it was those days. single cav only sometimes was trying to charge me. MW arbelast and MW steel bolts were horse killers

Well, it's a rouncey. A lovely horse, really, if used correctly as a light one. You need to hang back a bit and only engage when there are distractions, and learn how to become an unpredictable horse.
Speed bonus mainly to blame coupled with bodkins and an unusually small headshot box for the light horses. Shooting at one standing still, or riding away, and it is rather survivable.
