In ww1 cavalry mostly fought on foot, using their horses for transportation to get to areas needing reinforcements or to flank. However sometimes under ideal conditions they would charge. In game I expect it to be similar. ---

Good God I can’t wait for horses in the BF setting. It’s going to be hilarious charging around the map on Mr Ed. You know they’ll be some truly epic "only in Battlefield " clips with the horses. ---

If BF1’s physics are anything like BF4’s, then expect to see a few horses launched into a low-altitude orbit. ---

> [@person2245](#): > > In ww1 cavalry mostly fought on foot, using their horses for transportation to get to areas needing reinforcements or to flank. However sometimes under ideal conditions they would charge. In game I expect it to be similar. That would depend on the type at the start. Cavalry used swords. Hussar/Dragoon/Lancer used lances. Mounted infantry used rifles, which required them to dismount to use. Some lancers and cavalry units got guns while still keeping their primary weapons. Western front trench warfare meant less use for all cavalry types in that theatre, but in the Eastern Front and Middle East they where used until the end. ---

The chick in the trailer is wielding a sabre on horseback so I consider it basically confirmed. ---

My guess is as good as yours but I’d assume with the greater focus on melee combat we’ll be able to use ccq weapons on horseback. ---
