This thread isn't about buffing cav but fixing issues with it. For the only thing that could be considered a buff (more consistent couch lance damage) I offered two ideas on how to balance it.I’m very conflicted about whether or not cav needs a nerf.
What I can say with absolute confidence is that it doesn’t need a buff.
When infantry cannot rear you from behind anymore inf will be weaker compared to cav than before. Thats what a buff is.This thread isn't about buffing cav but fixing issues with it.

How it is right now is what I would consider a bug. Fixing bugs != buffs to what was affected by it.When infantry cannot rear you from behind anymore inf will be weaker compared to cav than before. Thats what a buff is.
So they could reduce that rear angle to +-80° but in return reduce horse armor by 3 for example.
Fixing bugs can have a huge impact to the class balance. You always have to analyze what will happen after the bug is fixed and if further balance is needed.How it is right now is what I would consider a bug.
Yeah instant couch lances weren't intended. That's why they were removed with 1.5. By your logic, TaleWorlds should give them back.Or the instant couch lance feature which is probably not intended
When bugs like these are in the game for half a year they are part of the gameplay. If you remove them you change up the balance.
We are not discussing wether bugs should be removed or not. Ofcourse they should.Yeah instant couch lances weren't intended. That's why they were removed with 1.5. By your logic, TaleWorlds should give them back.
