Horses and Mules

[Tiger2]

Can we please have transport animals that carry equipment for larger maps? Perhaps a rideable horse for scouting on Barashka?

 

[StmRtn]

Am I supposed to laugh ?.

 

[Tiger2]

Great officers professionally rode on horseback. The horse was more reliable and faster than mechanized vehicles in adverse conditions! But the most important role was in supplying the frontline so the the men could stay engaged in battle around the clock. These animals, on whom lives depended- They were even known to ferociously charge into the fiend's rank, breathing fire through their nostrils and to frighten the life out of them.

The question is not why to add the horses.. the question is why they haven't been in the game from the start.

Only if we can eat them.

new acheivment - destroy tank while riding on the horse.

 

[Tiger2]

But I can get help from programmers and have this feature in the Ro2 beta. IOM add all sorts of minor changes that require a lot of work.

 

[Mr Headshot95]

What do you mean, they're already in the game. They were just shot on Spartanovka

Does this mean Russians get the Deuce and a Half and simply drive through the capzones?

 

[Tiger2]

russians have farmsteads.. on Spartanovka. It is only natural that there should farm animals, which the officers can commission and appropriate for their use when necessary.

 

[Twrecks]

I'd rather have a TigerII

Only if they are roles that have to be played by a live player like any other vehicle. So, you could choose the jackass or horse "vehicle role" and choose to allow/not allow another player to jump on your back. Jackasses and horses would also have 2 melee weapons, teeth and poop.

Your King Tiger is no match for a Panzerfaust Donkey:


But seriously, I don't think living animals could be represented in a realistic way in RO2. Those were mainly used for moving equipment and people behind the frontline. I bet some brainiacs would use horse-drawn carts for frontline attacking, which wouldn't be very realistic. That's the same reason I'm a bit hesitant of trucks and other cars too, those weren't much used in the immediate frontline.

 

[nymets1104]

Wasnt there a cow in DH that just stood there frozen and mooing?

IT'S MY HORSE AND I'LL EAT IT IF I WANT TO. Lol

 

[Beskar Mando]

Yup, if I'm a hungry russian or german, that's the only reason I'd want it in game.

 

[aaz777]

Horses will replace medics. Wounded soilders can eat horse to restore health.
