That is purely your opinion, and seems pretty contrived at that, I might add. I could make the exact same argument and just swap that it takes no skill to just swing a sword and get close/bunch up and sword spam away.
I was going to say inb4 "well, hussar is underpowered to lancer", but obviously I'm not inb4, although I'll still make my point, something new in this thread, for a change. Perhaps the only solid, somewhat objective argument, in my mind, of lancer being overpowered vs another class is the lancer vs hussar outside of skill set. Both classes have a "light sabre", my anti lancer friends have argued strongly that, barring some skill differences, this is proof of an undisputable lancer advantage. Upon further examination, I think not. Below is an image of two dead TADERS, with the Prussian lancer's light sabre on the left, and the Russian hussar's light sabre on the right. Please examine.
Clearly, there are discernable differences in the appearance of these items. Whether or not these differences are purely aesthetic, I can only speculate on. I dont claim to be an expert on game mechanics or pretend to understand the coding of weapons, but I think its very possible these two weapons have different attributes. The two weapons share the name, much like the lance which shares the name among 3 faction versions with differences in range and speed. I have always thought dragoons using sabres were were more dangerous than other cavalry, it could be purely psychological or due to stats alone, but I doubt it. Perhaps one of the benevolent developers could further enlighten us on this.
Regarding other cavalry, I would certainly say the ranged capability of dragoons, roughly equal for all purposes to that of musketeers, counts much for this class's abilities. This is a fact I feel you are far too quick to overlook and dismiss. Using your carbine to effect depends, like any weapon, on skill and a personal playing style/choice. Similarly, heavy swords can be quite effectively applied to destroy lancer or any enemy face. The great range and damage are even more effective with a tactful use in combination with a strategy to use favourable ground and close range/horse blocking. Heavy swords and even sabres can outrange lances at many angles and combat situations, and are far more effect at close range and in stationary/slow combat.
I wouldn't get too hung up on the fact that its hard to face a lancer on open ground in a head on charge, using only your sabre. Lets not forget the other options you can explore to beat them. I present my evidence as a simple image, for all to see and speculate on, not hearsay about some supposed situation involving specific players in a specific situation setting out to prove a point that simply cannot be applied with proper reasoning to the general condition.
