Make the angle for HA smaller

[Battlepriest]

when he said aim point he meant shooting angle, not crosshair

Actually he meant crosshair, shooting angle has nothing to do with this.

[Battlepriest]

i mean make the aim area smaller not the crosshair, just so they have to have horse head towards their target

fuck is this

[Doom_Carrot]

fuck is this

He means that the arrows are supposed to come out of the horses head.

Read the whole thread.
He says he means the angle, not the accuracy.

OP's request paraphrased:

Please decrease the angle of firing of HAs a bit more narrow so they cannot shoot behind or to the sides.
They should only be able to shoot where the horse is facing.

Also increase their damage back to pre-nerf.

Are you guys really trying to buff HA?

If HA gets a buff niluk will make c-rpg explode.

Not sure if it is possible, but maybe widen the angle with each point of Horse Archery up to a max of 5 or so, which would resemble the current angle?

That way people with no Horse Archery would basically only be allowed to shoot with a lancer's angle of attack, while someone proficient at Horse Archery can shoot 180° back

So this talent is in cRPG?

The maneuver required superb equestrian skills, since the rider's hands were occupied by his bow. As the stirrup had not been invented at the time of the Parthians, the rider relied solely on pressure from his legs to guide his horse. The tactic could also be used during feigned retreat, with devastating effect.

Noone in the crpg community has this superb equestrian skills

All HA focus on slow moving away and galloping when infantry gets Close, which is a shit, since the amount of maneuvering their doing is too much in comparison to being historicly accurate.

And noone is doing a feigned retreat anymore.

Yup, modern day horse archers shoot backwards too, though not usually in competitions. Have a look at a chap called Kassai on youtube. 

Here is a riht hnded horse archer in Sweden shooting to the right, too. https://youtu.be/rdiJExsTES8?t=48s

HA is quite balanced as it is. It was OP and almost impossible to counter before.

That's an intereting idea. But the base angle should be at about 80° or 90° to the left, the natural position when using a bow on horseback.

That is a joke; So max 15 damage is "balanced" you can achieve higher damage than that with stones on horse back or punching people with low tier hand armor. It was definitely not OP before this last patch. Hopefully damage cap will be removed and that will put it back to where it was balanced.

It will be, at least the patch notes say so.
