disfunctional attack direction on horse with swing weapons

[Yair Hunter]

melee weapons that aren't poles cannot be thrusted when on horse, but the thrust attack still shows(the arrow pointing from below)- as long as it does the player can't attack, and changing it is tricky and often takes too long when being hit... my suggestion is of course to make all looking-directions work.

Actually, one-handed swords can be thrust on horseback, but it's a bit tricky. I agree with you, though: For weapons without thrusting attacks it's a bit annoying.

When that thrust arrow does appear, it's a bug. It should be fixed in the next version.

can you actually chop from horseback?
i never managed it to get the arrow for chop attacks, only swings and the (useless) thrust.
maybe the thrust arrow should be replaced by the chop if you are mounted and have a weapon suitable for chopping (scimitar).
if i wanted to raise the camera to get the chop arrow, like i would do on foot, i barely could see my target anymore, at least, when it's a foot soldier.

or maybe we can have extra keys for specific, left swing, right swing, thrust and chop attacks... this imho would be thebest thing, cause i actually want to look down when chopping from horse, to see the unarmored heads of the insolent rabble...

I think when you stand still, or ride slow, you should be able to make an overhead blow.
