I’ve seen plenty of players use bikes. I use them myself at times. They’re great for getting to a point quicker than any other ground unit.
I’d like to see more diversity with ground troops, but that’s just me. Each to their own.

And what? You get shot and you wasted a horse. Peak game development yes something people will use
You mean the three guys that get shot dead instantly? You mean something an APC can do far better than a bike?
Why am I arguing about this it’s ridiculous
I’ll use it. That sounds funny as shit.

Yeah but that’s gonna be you no one else will
Ive lost countless games due to people using snipers that are arguably the most useless class of the game, especiatly when deployed in en masse.
Finally, could actually consider doing the “kill 5 with melee” daily.

In mass? Aka never? Again you got horses in the game it’s a mod that the devs promoted no one uses it bc it’s pointless if you wanted horses you’d find a prefab custom server by a player with it. Yet you don’t and that speaks volumes than anything else
I think it makes much more sense to give them the Cossack Mosin
Sure its not much different than every other Mosin but this one is theirs!

The cossack Mosin have a different sight but couldn’t take bayonets or something that or that’s the dragoon
Ether way I have thought of it but ultimately decided against it due to the fact it’s no different than to the dragoon rifle
Like it’s really hard to tell the two
Its all fun and games until Seabiscuit gets nailed by a Pak38

I wish the guys at Enlisted would treat us with some good cavalry gameplay one day, even as a silly event. But from knowing their soldier animations, I know it’s gonna be awful to watch their interpretation of a what a galloping horse looks like. Seriously, they need to work better on those animations. I mean for everything.

Polish I was told by Poles the cavalry never actually attacked German tanks with horses, they were mechanised cavalry like the United States or Australian Light Horse.
(my great uncles were in the Light Horse in WWII, apparently we did use horses here in Australia for training and logistics but in terms of a combat unit they wouldve had trucks, maybe Universal Carriers, that sort of thing).
The Poles wouldve been using AT rifle.
However I do definitely agree with your argument that if we are adding Soviet cavalry then other factions deserve horses as well.
A Romanian or Hungarian cavalry squad for Germany would be great, we need more Minor Axis Nation representation.
I do seem to recall as well the very famous footage of German soldiers lifting the boom gate between Polish-German border; some were on horseback.
Japan I would agree unless we gave them bicycles instead? Japan was famous for its use of bicycles in Asia and in terms of power and armour a horse and a bicycle are basically the same. (they could make it one or two shots renders a bicycle immobile while the horse obviously gets shot like a human)
Not sure about the Allies. I dont dispute the 26th Cavalry, but I dont like the idea of Yanks on horses riding around Normandy and Tunisia and so forth. Perhaps British soldiers with bicycles as I believe they used bikes too?
(From AI, havent found any information to support this so far unless it was refering to general transport/logistics)
Australian Light Horse units, while largely converted to motorized or armored units during the war, did use captured horses in the Syrian campaign.
Here’s some info from Wikipedia:
*The French Army of 1939–1940 blended horse regiments into their mobile divisions, and the Soviet Army of 1941 had thirteen cavalry divisions. *
The Italian, Iranian, Japanese, Italian, Polish and Romanian armies employed substantial cavalry formations.
*British Empire troops, notably the Transjordan Frontier Force and the Arab Legion ), remained horse-mounted. *
The last British mounted cavalry charge occurred on March 21, 1942, when a patrol of sowars of the Burma Frontier Force encountered Japanese infantry – initially mistaking them for Chinese troops – at Toungoo in central Burma. Led by Captain Arthur Sandeman of The Central India Horse (21st King George V’s Own Horse), the BFF detachment charged and most were killed.[105]
The only significant engagement of American horsemen in World War II was the defensive action of the Philippine Scouts (26th Cavalry Regiment).[118] The Scouts challenged the Japanese invaders of Luzon, holding off two armoured and two infantry regiments during the invasion of the Philippines. They repelled a unit of tanks in Binalonan and successfully held ground for the Allied armies’ retreat to Bataan.[119] What would become, at that time, the very last combat horse cavalry charge in U.S. Army history occurred at Morong on the west side of Bataan, on January 16, 1942, when mostly Filipino troopers of ‘G’ Troop, 26th Cavalry (PS), led by Southern Illinois native 1st Lt. Edwin Ramsey, successfully charged their mounts at a far superior Japanese force of armor-supported infantry, surprising and scattering them. This lightly armed, 27-man force of U.S. Horse Cavalry, under heavy fire, held off the Japanese for several crucial hours. Ramsey earned a Silver Star and Purple Heart for this action, and the 26th was immortalized in U.S. Cavalry history.
Yeah thing is tho… they’re not gonna have horses like I stated they’re a Rifleman Squad no more no less
