Currently you can swing your weapon through your horses neck and hit what's right in front of you.
Johnny Morphine said:To keep things consistent, you shouldn't be able to swing through your horse's face any more than you can thrust through your teammate's ass.

Johnny Morphine said:Personally, I'm all for reverting every animation back to 1.011. Just about every swing animation in Warband looks more like a Hollywood exaggeration than anything that would have shown up in medieval combat.
Johnny Morphine said:So that's why, for all the five times I've played cavalry in Warband, I've only ever had one successful swing with a sword. That explains it - I was relying on my intuition (or, for that matter, logic - in any event, the system as it stands is wholly illogical)

ares007 said:Maybe we should make a specific suggestion thread to revert to the old animation but still have the 2-handed sideways strikes take a diagonal path (I really like that ).
I wouldn't be partial to the devs taking the old animations and making them look slightly more natural (the thrust animations are fine though).
Johnny Morphine said:Definitely trash the new two-hander animations. I never want to see a greatsword get swung like a baseball bat again in my life. It's ridiculous. On top of that, it can hit someone standing behind it for full damage. See this thread for a better explanation:

Sorry, I didn't look close enough at your quote. Seems you and I are on the same page here after all!

Let me throw my vote in with this.
It seems currently, from a horse, sabres can't hit anything unless it is right in front of them. That kinda ruins the joy of horseback fighting, which is all about swooping in from the side, not head-on. It is terribly unintuitive.
