was cav really that overpowered? My low cost equip is inf, so i played quite a bit of inf, i rarely got killed by cav at all.
People proberly call cavalry OP becouse they proberly just don't look around and then gets backstabbed.
Cavalry right now is pretty much a pure flanker/ambusher.
If you attack a infantry when he is prepared so can he easily just block or kill the horse if he got a pike or so.
If you attack a ranged class that is prepared so can he easily 2 shot the horse.
Put yeah, cavalry can easily bring in alot of kills when coming from behind the enemy lines and get several kills in one charge.
But so can infantry also when they ambush a group of archers.
Also a thing;
Most people are still used to the old times were most cavalries had the plated charger.
Then people focused on killing the rider instead of the horse. Since he was usually easier to kill.
But nowadays so is the horse much easier to kill and the same time very easy to reach.
But people still aim against the rider, which usually goes unsuccesful.
