Nodachi Cavalry

[rockman4417]

Anyone managed to do this?

I was playing around with the PFE and whipped up a nodachi hero easily enough. Then thought it would be cool to give the Date a unique cavalry unit that used nodachis with the regular sword animations. But the best I could manage was having the nodachis on their backs while the cavalry swung invisible swords!

I know the naginata cavalry use the yari animations, but it's like the game only recognizes certain weapons for use on horseback, so if you try to give them a gun or nodachi, it will sit on their backs.

I would love to see the ability to fire matchlocks from horseback, but I have doubts about the viability of a no-dachi from horseback. In the real world, that is. They let you do it in Mount and Blade Warband, if you're really keen.

I would like to see this done as well, I tried 2 method I can think of, but the game somehow still recognize it as a nodachi somehow

things I tried
changing the weapon to a nodachi results: nodachi stays on back of samurai and uses air katana
changing the skin of the katana to the nodachi results: same as above
