I think that Cuirassier isn't very useful

[KaiserDoppeladler]

What do you think about it?

When I recruit Cuirassier. I use it for charge my enemy.. Because their skirmish ability is very suck....

If you teach me to how to use Cuirassier Usefully, I'll appreciate you.

you shoid avoid charging head-on because the steel breastplate wont protect very well against bullets. try to charge the side or flank of your enemy. a simple tip to remember is that cuirassier s are made purly to charge into enemys and then hack them to pieces, they are not ambusers or skirmishers and so should be kept back behind some infantry until needed.

Cuirassier is good in fighting with enemy's lancers, and is great in long fight.In my opinion, lancers are btter because of their powerfull charges and speed.

charge cavalry from the front, infantry from behind. Cuirassiers will crush the enemy!

Always avoid straight on collisions with lancers. They will tear your horsemen apart.

They are also good for destroying pesky light caverly(?).

In my case, that's only true if they charge from behind. When my cuirassier charge from the front, they get slaughtered.

Light Cav = Attack
Heavy Cav = Defensive = Counter cav

1 heavy cav can beat 3 light cav guarentee (But not if its being sniped)

its useful for say taking the hill in the Galacia ria or Italian grasslands (where its normally a cav scrum)

Its usful for defending behind your lines when paired with a lancer cav (lancer hits head on while curias flanks around then engages enemy flank and rear... pls don't just charge them into the backs of your own lancer like most people)

Basically Heavy cav is useless for killing infantry since they CA didn't bother to give them extra damage like say cannon horses (which can take 50 bullets each horse or more for some reason)

BTW Historically All Curiass were tested to withstand hits from a musket ball (proved on mythbusters at point blank ranged) however they could not stand up to modern riflled bullets due to stonger cassing and higher muzzel velocity

simple tip: if you think the enemy will be able to fire a volly at you then dont charge. even against riflemen a head- on charge is not a good idea. the breastplate means nothing in a firefight
