Sure it’s a bit complicated for a horse and for Gaijin. It’s likely just going to be like enlisted where you have something very basic. In enlisted you can usually tank 2 bullets unless you have body armour. Or if you received a head shot then it’s one.
Keeping things simple is likely how Gaijin will go sadly but respectable. The whole thing with mounts is because it could have some utility and it’s historical.
Thanks!
I would compare horses to L3 and wiezel by volume, yet infantry having guts themselves would really be great :D

Pack animals would be useful in infantry even if they don’t have a MG strapped to them. Extra ammo would be a good nice to have especially if you can call them to you for an extra rocket.

Not sure if it should be added but it would be funny. Australian light horse regiment ww1. In ww1 they did one of the last successful cavalry charges in history, at Beersheba 1917. (Photo of the 3 regiment unsure if they participated, though the uniforms are cool.)

They got the swords but if I remember right they requested that as in that era only true cavalry could have them and a light horse regiment was mounted infantry not a true cavalry unit. Apparently the swords was what made there charges work as mounted infantry could easily get bogged down in infantry without the sword.
I would just like to have horses in infantry as a ridable unit as they are useful to this day mainly as a patrol unit then again the whole Afghanistan “Thee first American cavalry charge of the 21st century” where they called down airstrikes. Horses where sort of needed as fuel for resupply would be a issue Afghanistan did not have a million gas stations to fall back on like other countries.
Horses are also used by other security organizations like police, boarder police, and the USA air force has some for airstrip security as they can go where vehicle cannot. UK also has more horses then tanks in the army which is funny. But I think people will enjoy then if added to the game running around trying to destroy tanks on horseback.
In real life horses are great in bad terrain or when logistics for gas are not available so ideal for special forces. They also are harder to spot, make less noise, might not trigger some weapons, and produce less heat though the vet bill is a real issue which was one reason USA stopped using them in Afghanistan for major patrol duty as fixing a armored car is cheaper / swapping it out. Also people get attached to animals not vehicles so not great for moral if something happens. A armored car will also save you from IEDs and gun fire a horse cannot.

lol I can see why there would be support for cavalry in the community concerning infantry mode.
Though cavalry was considered a failure in trench warfare of WW1 they where useful even in frontal charges because you gave the enemy gunners so little reaction time they could not reliably hit the cavalry with machine gun fire or artillery. Horse can also jump over trenches. Still it would be something in game being charged by a squad of horseman with assault rifles and swords in there kit. Youtubers would get a kick out of it for a while.
Lol
I know one of the fan theories is the with the uma with there military style costumes is there schools use to be military collages (military, police, special letter delivery, etc.) as they are kind of born super soldiers even the bad ones. That over the years with them being less useful or not needed as much (atom bomb, cars, tanks) in these sectors they transitioned and the costumes are kind of what’s left of that era slowly mutating into ornate dressings. The whole pop song thing comes from the old military marching band stuff that’s kind of the fan theory apparently. (no I do not play pretty derby I just know about it and thought it would be a funny joke for this discussion)
FYI this fan theory is based off of the fact that horse racing and Polo did originate from the military (polo is basically classic cavalry 101 training)
Would still be funny if they did a past history manga of the uma during the Edo period in there samurai orders going through the paces of samurai military training and daily paper work. Capable of doing a lot with nothing to do.
