The squad: it would be a Rifleman squad with a Engineer and AT soldier and the rest of the 7 soldiers would be rifleman soldiers
Reason I have chosen riflemen was due to the rifle they will be armed with
Unit
1st Guards Cavalry Corps
History/description: The 1st Guards Cavalry Corps was first formed in late 1941, in response to Operation Barbarossa which was formed from several other Calvary Divisions into the 1st Guards Calvary Corps, later was reformed into the 2nd Guards Calvary Corps.
Saw combat in Moscow, Rezhev,
Note: do note this focuses on the Don Cossacks different soldiers was given different clothing Items in representative to their ethnic group
Example Kuban Cossack is given that hat shown in the example, while a Terek Cossack is given a taller head piece, or a Turkic Cossack is given a more furry head piece, which opens more options for customization for the cavalry unit or for future customization.

Weapon
Vetterli 1869/71
Description
Old swiss rifle that was formerly used by the swiss military, which uses black powder to which gives it a noticeably low velocity than other rifle, with an older form of loading.
Why?
Back in 1907 there was a Finnish group that was planning to arm for a revolution that was thought to come, which never came and the plan to get the weapon went really poorly, where the tzarist government captured 5,000 of these rifles.

Not completely accurate. Several mayjor players used cavalry units in WW2, mostly as reconaissance, but Japan and Hungary, even the USSR, among other nations, used large cavalry formations in battle. The US even used cavalry units in the Phillipines too, for a while.
Germany mainly used them for logistics and some recon, as did the British in Burma.
The USSR used large cavalry formations in battle in their early fight against Germany. Romania and Hungary extensively used cavalry divisions throughout their participation in the war. Japan used cavalry units in China and Burma as mobile shock troops. And the US 26th Cavalry Regiment fought in the early fight for the Phillipines.
There were plenty of players in WW2 that used cavalry in combat roles.
Well, if there is consideration for introducing a Russian cavalry squad, then I see no reason why other nations can’t receive one, because of the reasons I’ve already listed.
Yeah but mainly get near a place and mount off never charges like the Polish did that one time which btw the Polish did the same thing with horses as I said they charged not bc of of doctrine btw
And again how can you even implement cavalry into the game? You cannot
Germany - Romanian/Hungarian Regiments, or German Recon Battaltion
USSR - Cavalry division
Japan - Cavalry/Recon regiment.
Seems quite straightforward to me. It’d be not much different to the Biker/APC/Truck squads we already have. Most people use them to get to the front then dismount anyway.
