Great Swords are considered pretty low-tier weapons, being focused on horde clear almost entirely when many weapons can do that decently. It makes sense from a historical/logical perspective that they have bad anti-armor damage, since you really can’t just cut through armor or pound it with a sword…

ya. imo they should add AP to 2h swords.

[image] Specter: In fact, Greatswords were excelent against plate armor. lol, no “usable” and “excellent” is two completely different things. Moreover Kruber and Victor 2h swords are Longswords, not Greatswords; yes, rather long Longswords, but still not Greatswords, cause because of their …

It really does need a stabbing AP heavy attack instead of the meaty swings. But I agree, they should add AP to the light attacks.

Firstly, to reiterate; you cannot use a sword to cut or bash through armor. Yes, you can thrust for weak points, but that was primarily on longswords - which the two-handed swords in VT definitely are not, and the two in question don’t even have thrusting attacks. On the historical weapons, greats…

You dont knwo because “longsword” is not very precise.

In its developed form, the Zweihänder acquired the cha…

A greatsword only weighs 2-3kg. That’s hardly a “monstrosity”.

[image] BizarreSalp: Firstly, to reiterate; you cannot use a sword to cut or bash through armor. This argument is pointless, since no melee weapon can actually pierce plate far enough to damage the wielder, yet we have armor piercing weapons in game, that can do just that. Anti armor weapons …

That’s the point of my post. This thing does look like a zweihander at the first glance, but it is not it when you take a closer look. Of course they are. They are using the same weappon as the elite of the emperial infantry: [image] They are even called: Bihänder. Also, they are inspired by t…

It should have armor piercing since empire greatswords fight black orcs and black orcs have some of heaviest and toughest armor in the lore. I suggest a re-work of the 2h great sword make it have ap on light attack like what op said and give it a thrusting heavy attack instead of the heavy attack s…

What if Great Swords had Armor Piercing on Light Attacks?
