Someone said block down  for lancers, but they do have couched..

The reduced manouverability + crappy range of the couch makes it easy to outrange with a bayonet.

If you cant deal with cav in NW you arnt a very good player, just saying.
The Musket is a polearm(Or is coded as one) and the polearm is made/designed to kill cav.
If you are going against a lancer just block down or if he is using couch lance just avoid him but if you cant to that whta i do is jump and spin, even if you still die by him you will laugh because of the ragdoll (Atleast i do)
I never said i can't deal with them. Their just really annoying.

Yes, cav are annoying. Annoyingly underpowered, that is...  :roll:

You know what else is annoying? Getting shot, stabbed by those insanely fast bayonets, getting hit by artillery and getting teamkilled. Why don't we just take all of them things out too?

Exactly.
and who's the humorless jackass that keeps on reporting my screenshots as spam?
the instructions on the first page says post screenshots that you particularly like, find humorous or want to brag about.
my high score and stat page screenshots fits all the criteria.

*face palm, face palm and more facepalm ... with a hint of facepalm*

Lancers ... I bloody eat lancers, why? cause I practised against them. FK would back me up when I say we were scared of one another in line battles, because we knew what would happen to both regiments ... totally obliterated ... why? because we practised against one another ... a lot.

Your going to loose against cav, your going to loose against infantry just as much ... there are experianced players for both so blaming that as a cause is just ludicrus.

Having problems against lancers:

Block down.
Couched lance = Jump button or side step (into the horse or away from it) or better yet both
or if your actually good in melee, chamber the couched lance (Yes that is possible).

The thing that calvary lacks is ranged weaponry, apart from the dragoons, which I have to admit I hate totally but dosn't mean I should whine or complain about them because they were perfectly balanced, they have to stop totally to reload and have the wrost horse and sword to go along with a lack of running speed so once dismounted are usually dead.

The problems that people have with fighting cavalry is not that they are OP ... the reason is lack of experiance fighting them and because of that then shy away from them instead of fighting, and because they are always running it just makes it easier for a cav to kill them, then obviously don't like them and don't fight them and the circle begins again.

The key is to ... oddly enough fight cavlary ... you can only get better as you learn more.

Just try to be cavalry and have positive k/d ratio for a week and not play infantry. Then come back and try to everyone that.

Cavalry is alright its not that difficult to use. Just stay away from charging into a bayonet. It is really easy to run over people and help teammates. And also easy to kill anyone who doesn't have a bayonet.

Some people would Agree, Me amongst them.

Then Again, some people could say that Infantry is the ones Overpowered.

I suggest rebinding the "view outfit key"  from "~" to something closer like the "CAPSLOCK" key.

Wow I didn't even know this existed, that explains why people see me sneaking up on them.
