Horses and Mules
- Thread starter Tiger2
- Start date
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.

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?

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