With the new merge, if I understand correctly, we will have the Italians in Moscow and Stalingrad
What better way to welcome them than with an themed event?
I propose to add an Italian cavalry squad which would create a new vehicle class.
Without considering that August 24th is around the corner and on that date we celebrate the last cavalry charge in history called the Izbushensky charge. Made by the Savoy cavalry

Idk how it will work with gameplay or how it would work at all but yes, cav would be interseting. With early war campaigns is must have anyways. If there will be in future there is a need to test mechanics.
It wasnt last cav charge in history for sure, not even in ww2. I know this couse my countrymen did one in march 45 next to village Borujsk (Schoenfeld in invader language). Or you just speaking about last Italian?

Yes well let’s say that that was more a mixture of attacks by various regiments, for this reason it is debated as a real and proper last cavalry charge and victory achieved by it.
by who xd
does it mean there wasnt cav charge? Because if you looking for last cav battle where there werent other kind regiments at all, just cav it would be probably KomarĂłw 1920 because two horse armies fought each other there. In all other cases cav is part of bigger front/operation/battle that takes time, even days. As well in Izbushensky couse at some point there was attack of dismounted soldiers so you may not name this part cavallery charge. Doest it mean that there wasnt any cav charge at all xd?
And wasnt there also withdrawing 2nd Sforzesca? OMG other kind of unit involved. So now for sure there wasnt cav charge at all ahahah. Brilliant logic.
wtf is proper. In full armor maybe? Does horses need to be also barded hahahahah?
Good, cool idea, its just I hate horses from the bottom of my heart.

I really want to see an event where we get German and Soviet counterpart Cossack squads. Perhaps with saber melee weapons.

…I gotta admit…I loved play Cav in Battlefield 1. Riding around on a horse with armor and giving people the cold steel.
dont see it working here, but the memories

Then you’ll get to shoot them… I see no downside.

While fun we also must consider how light and medium tanks effectively replaced light and heavy cavalry. The only things being faster than light tanks bring some bikes and horse. While cool from a gameplay perspective it doesn’t make sense technology wise.
Also I doubt Gaijin wants PETA on their doorstep so good luck getting this idea in the game (I really do mean that, I do want to see this idea work).
Cavalary used for reconaissance and logistics, rarely saw direct contact with enemy. Cavalry had became obsolete as fighting force 3 decades earlier before the ww2.
What are we going to use them for ?
A) recon: average foktbal sized playable area, you dont need recon
B) logistics: engineers creating ammo boxes, mgs, aa and at gun put of thin air. No limit to vehicle spam and no fuel limitations.
Again, what are we going to use them for ?
Just to see piled up dead horse corpses around the map ?

Horses are cool and some nation use them in actual combat in ww2, that’s it.
To kil the enemy
I don’t think PETA is really a problem, at the end of the day horses where used in ww2 and Enlisted is supposed to be an “historical game” therefore it is not violence against animals as an end in itself
Ok well let’s say that the Izbushensky charge is the last cool cavalry charge of history then
cool for ignorant and hypocrite you, lame for people who know history
can agree with that xd

It was a joke, but there is a fair point to the technology side of it. Nobody really used them in battle for fighting, instead they were used as scouts or as transport for officers who didn’t have any gas. Also used for moving some artillery at the beginning of the war, so horses would make sense for the French in the early invasion of France.
Italian actually use them(rarely) in Russia and in the Africa front too. If we want to be precise, there is also a charge made by Italian and Ascari cavalry against British tanks, which obviously didn’t end well.

I don’t know if horses would fit in enlisted, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a dismounted infantry unit of 3rd Savoia cavalry in the game
