Would it even be feasible to ride a centaur? I feel that having a human torso right in front of you would make it hard to see or fight.
>>47080422
Think of it like two people riding a motorbike except one of the is the motorbike. It's not the best setup but it works.
Also centaur rider would probably lean towards ranged combat rather than melee.
>>47080422
If the object in front of you was just a lump of whatever then yes it would be hard to fight with it in the way. But that Torso fights as well, so you dont have to worry about that. As long as your not retard and try to make the centaur charge head on into a pike wall, something that it wont have any problems NOT doing unlike horses whom are stupid and panic near enemy soldiers, or attempting to give them lance so that they bend/break their spines, having a second fighters in one mass is actually not that bad of an idea.
>>47080466
So it'd be sort of like how crossbowmen at one point in history had a person to carry a pavise while the reloaded? That could work.
But it would require a serious level of coordination between the centaur and the rider, especially since they'd probably have to do stuff like this while moving.
>>47080522
>But it would require a serious level of coordination between the centaur and the rider, especially since they'd probably have to do stuff like this while moving.
They are both intelligent beings, yes? Im pretty sure that its not THAT hard to train riders to fight/aid in the centaur's fighting from horseback. I mean NO its not gonna be the BESTEST THING EVAR!!!111 but i could see it being a sizeable advantage if say your were a nomadic tribe.
I would guess you could use them as a heavy weapons platform. Then again it all depends on the breed of centaur. A workhorse vs a pony...
If you have a large work horse like in my pic then you can probably put a heavy weapon on him/her. Like a minigun, .50 cal, rocket launcher, recoil less rifle etc.
Question would be why though, would those weapons be better stationary vs mobile?
Also under what setting? Fantasy/Medieval, Modern? Sci-Fi?
As with the bike comment, what weapon would you SERIOUSLY put on a bike and drive into combat? Why not use a bike?
So to answer my own question a centaur in any setting would probably work well for ranged combat in rugged terrain.
In fantasy settings they would work in both ranged and mele in the same way cavalry worked, difference being the centaur could carry a weapon and shield themselves.
>>47080579
What the hell is pic related and why is Saber there?
>>47080579
I admit I'm not a /k/ browser, but common sense seems to dictate that you can be more accurate with ranged weapons while stationary. And often mounted missile troops would move around the enemy to avoid being shot at in return, and to attack from several angles to take advantage of their mobility. If a centaur is functioning as a shield bearer, they'd have to adjust where they're holding the shield, just as their rider would have to turn in the saddle. If they retreat, the rider is suddenly not defended from the rear, and they probably can't swing a weapon in the same direction if they're caught in melee, since they'd want to avoid hitting each other.
Medieval fantasy seems to generally be where most people put centaurs. In a modern or sci-fi setting, traditional cavalry has grown to be more or less obsolete...even with the rough terrain argument, that would probably hamper a centaur, especially in urban or jungle fighting. And besides, how accurately could a centaur aim a rifle or a rocket launcher while running? A minigun or machine gun might work, just because weight of fire over accuracy, they're bound to hit something.
>>47080771
It's /d/ territory, you don't want to know
>>47080771
Here's another of the sfw ones. Really wish Mikoyan would do more of these.
>>47080853
There is also this one.
They seem to be using large calibre recoil less rifles. Then again the setting seems to be WW2 ish judging from the rifle the blond is carrying.
>>47080887
Here is a more modern setting.
Horses can carry allot of weight so I think large caliber rapid fire weapons could work.
Carry the large ammo drum/pack on the back, would need a person to help strap it on etc but a rider wouldn't be needed in combat other than to help with ammo feed malfunctions and such.
>>47080830
Alright, now I'm to curious for my own good. How much furry shit am I in for?
>>47080422
Mongolian horse archery would only have been more devastating if the horse also shoot at people.
>>47080937
Not exactly furry, more like horse chicks with dicks.
Hmm, centaurs count as furry?
>>47080937
I regret everything
>>47080422
Here is a pic from the comic Centaur Worries.
In medieval settings they would work better than regular cavalry due to being smarter and being able to fight as well.
Modern settings they would work for settings where you actually use horses, like in pic for riot control.
Modern military is questionable but I think it would actually work as they could get heavy weapons where you normally couldn't but they'd be pretty useless in urban combat as in house to house fighting.
Oh noes! My one weakness?! STAIRS!!
>>47080927
So just a light machine gun? And if the rider isn't necessary, why bring them along instead of making use of them as infantry?
>>47081054
Because getting a humanoid onto the centaur is the very point of the exercise, the rest is just trying to justify it.
>>47081054
Humans carry light machine guns into combat all the time, afaik every group has at least one person with a SAW, 249 or whatever light machine guns are called nowdays.
A centaur could carry something bigger, I'd guess any weapon you'd put on a LAV (Light Armour Vehicle) such as .50cal, miniguns, automatic grenade launchers and such.
On the other hand I guess you could use the centaur as a mobile cover mover, like carrying a large ballistic shield to cover the rider who'd use a machine gun of some sort. This seems really unpractical though.
First pic I posted has the girl reloading the gun which I would assume to be a recoil less rifle as it looks more like a rifle than a rocket launcher.
Are recoil less rifles even used in modern military? or have they simply been replaced by missile weapons?
>>47080579
>>47081054
Mobile infantry. Dragoons riding with cavalry.
>>47080511
How has it been determined that a centaur with a lance would break their spine? A human with a couched lance takes just as much force and with stirrups and a military saddle most of that force is going to be on the spine. And why assume that a centaur's spine wouldn't be more flexible and robust than a humans? I'd expect the torso to have the same range of motion that a horse's head has and it needs to hold at least as much weight.
And even if for some reason a centaur couldn't take as much force as a human why wouldn't they just use a lighter lance, charge slower or simply not couch it?
>>47080927
Is that a PK or a DShK?
>>47081477
No idea what that even means...
So I assume /d/ is the destination for centaur porn, even when lacking futa?
>>47081477
it looks like m2
>>47081032
I was thinking of Centaur Worries, too, the centaurs were used as mounts but in a slave capacity. I recall one of th ehistory chapters having a page about it where the centaur's upper half was bound in an armor shell so it couldn't move its arms or upper body at all.
>>47081477
Looks like an M2 with a Minimi style ammo box.
I don't think a guy in the back could be of much use in fight, maybe helf hold this spear thing riders use? There's not much space.
>>47081866
In Centaur Worries it is a hate crime to ride a centaur.

Dude. No. Just no.
At least learn the definition of recoilless rifle before you try to drop it like it's hot.
If it was a recoilless rifle it would injure the rider every time.
Javelins?
>>47082704
Then wtf is it?
And how would it injure the rider?
You mean the centaur would rock back so hard as to hit the rider? I would assume a centaur would be allot more steady and sturdy to fire a recoil less rifle.
You have to bend forwards quite allot when firing those things but if you'd have 4 legs that shouldn't be as big a problem?

>>47083246
Look at it this way anon. If you had a choice would you rather have one or two dicks? i'm betting 2. Therefore you in fact want more dick.
How about porn? Do you like porn with a guy with a tiny dick? Or a big one? I'm betting you'd rather get off on watching tiny tammy getting wrecked by beercan dick magnus. Therefore you like big dicks.
again lets use porno for this. Do you want porn where the dick and male is entirely censored or would you actually like to see action take place? I'm gonna guess you wanna see all actors in full action. You now want to see dick.
Ergo you want to see more big dicks.
>>47083173
So you saying it wouldn't be possible for a centaur to use a M18 recoilless rifle without seriously injuring him/herself and a person leaning up against his/her back would be seriously injured and receive 3rd degree burns despite the back of the weapon going past the rider?
I guess the weapon could be a 20-30mm cannon if that makes you happy.

It's an entire genre of porn that can fill up an entire harddrive. People like what they like. On the web no one but you would know that you go to /y/ or /hm/ so there's really no reason not to just go to those boards if you're closeted.
>>47083414
>People like what they like
They do. I don't see why you can't enjoy it and be closeted [insert title] at the same time.
>>47083321
It wouldn't harm the centaur the whole "recoilless" part the issue is back blast. It would fuck up any rider with concussive force alone. you want the tubes ending at least 3 feet away because while most of the force is aimed backwards in a cone beyond the container that is the tube the force can propagate outwards in all directions. At the least it injuries the riding with concussive force and burns and burns the centaurs rump.
Speaking of which they'd have to always aim that bitch at a downward angle or the back blast would take chunks off their hindquarters.
Best bet would be to use 20-30mm rifles for the type shown above where their body seems to be beefy and thicker meaning large joints and bones that could handle that force. Make it a top loaded magazine with a longer priming lever so all reloading could be handled by support rider.
For the most part riders would also almost be support as firing at anything accurately without possibly nicking the mount is damn near impossible especially if evasive manuevers have to happen and why take the time to shout that out. You might be able to get away with riding backwards to avoid shooting your ride but that still suffers from you can't tell where the rides going since its entirely self driven and now can't see whats coming.
All in all either support rider who's gonna be vulnerable since armoring them puts serious weight on the centaurs spine which will hinder movement or wholly autonomous centaur no rider at all freeing that space to either save weight or carry shit.
>>47083397
Cont. Basically if you are past rifle you are fucked in different degrees. Different weapons have different cones of the backblast and in case of centaurs I can imagine it being narrow to prevent burns.
The fella riding the centaur helps a lot in steadying the weapon and reloading it.
>>47083448
Because the closeted homosexual bit implies they really don't like the rest of the futa and are using it as a cover up. To enjoy futa you need to have attraction to the female form (if genitals are the only thing that matters try fapping to Buck Angel a man with a cunt (FTM)) which at worst means you're bisexual.
>>47083512
This.
>>47081454
It's more than that - a centaur is a larger target in hand to hand combat. If a rider's horse is struck by a weapon, the rider is unaffected. Yes, the poor mount might die of the wounds later, but the rider can still fight on unimpaired.
A centaur that gets stuck in combat would feel pain if struck in the hindquarters, and taking wounds on the horse part would impair them. It's not that they couldn't be heavy shock cavalry, it's that they would have distinct comparative disadvantages.
>>47083512
>implies they really don't like the rest of the futa
Not at all
>are using it as a cover up
Right
>>47083693

That doesn't make any sense though. If people want /y/, /cm/, or /hm/ material they go to those boards. If content producers want /y/, /cm/, or /hm/ material they make those instead. The only way this bit in particular makes any sense, and it still doesn't, is if someone can't clear their internet history and has someone looking over their shoulder at all times and if that were the case they wouldn't go to /d/ to cover up.

No, it doesn't. Because that just emphasizes you have no idea what you're talking about. It's a Denel NTW-20, which is a 20x110 round.
This doesn't mean you know what the fuck you're talking about. It just happens to be the rifle that the artist drew.

>>47083397
It would also destroy the whole purpose of mounting weapons on Centaurs as they couldn't fire while moving or even from many positions.
>>47080422
>>47080522
That's because shut up, a mounted fighter doesn't fight the same way as a foot soldier. In fact, fighting on horseback should be easier since you have a meatshieldthat in this case also knows how to fight, presumablyin front of you, there's a horse butt behind you that limits attacks to your own backand is optimally trained to be able to use that end to attack,and you have two hands to handle at least one flank, or in this case both since the centaur probably doesn't need reigns as they have people-ish brains.
Simply put, the downsides of them being someone in front of you are mitigated by the advantage that they're someone in front of and barely behind you, even more assuming you're riding them into a combat situation that they would also know how to fight. And even further still if you yourself are trained to assist the centaur in their own fighting by protecting from attacks to their horse half.
You guys are going to hate this but what would be the take on centaur and human intimate relations. Assume the centaues are human intelligence in all forms.
That basically means they're sentient and therefore can give consent so technically they're not wild animals and therefore its not bestiality. So does it go under interspecies just like sex with an elf would?
And none of that "dur hur horse pussy!" Bullshit i'm talking lets seriously hash this shit out on a moral, mental, and physical level.
>>47095894
Of course it's fine, as long as other bipeds can recognize that "no, it's not a horse they're fucking, it just has horse parts" or on the centaur end "no, it's not an ape-ish offshoot their fucking, it just has ape-ish parts".
This could potentially change depending on how the offspring is handled, which as I figure could range from horse of human intelligence to human or centaur of bestial intelligence, to saytr-thing of any smart to the dreaded mantaur.
>>47096211
True. again weird path here but since humans aren't compatible with other apes and the like, viable offspring or even pregnancywise that is, would that be the same for a centaur and a horse do you think? Is the centaur most likely an odd primate offshoot that happened to parallel another species evolution or is it somehow a perissodactyl that paralleled primate evolution? Hell for that matter would they even have the same type of pregnancies we do? Y'know periods and monstrously parasitic fetus or would they go into estrus?
>>47096288
Sadly, the answer is probably "magic fuck you". What I'd like to think though is that if we're allowed to apply logic to "magic fuck you", that their creation was something along the lines of an ancient tribe of skilled mounted fighterssuch as the Kentauros they are so namedthat instead of being mistaken for a single being, actually magically fused themselves to their mounts through shaman magics, making everything torso-up function humanly, most importantly how the human brain functions with reproductive urges, and everything else function horsely, and however that applies reproductively.
tl;dr, I figure it'd work along the lines of "estrus reproduction with human's 'pretty much whenever' sex drive", "human brain, horse genitals, and all that implies functionally"smarter anons that actually know their shit are welcome to post otherwise
>>47080422

>>47096552
Magic is the cop out i wss hoping to avoid but sometimes its unavoidable. This thread actually got me thinking on civilizations where centaurs and -insert race- have lived together so long culturally there's no difference besides the obvious adaptions for different physical needs but then i hit relationships and my brain died. Mostly wondering if relationships between centaurs and "race" would be as normal as say relationships between an asian and caucasian or would it be considered odd due solely to biological differences. When you stop to think about it both have far reaching consequences that can shape shit differently.
>>47080579
WHERE'S THE DICK, THEY BOTH HAVE DICKS WHERE IS IT
>>47096678
Only one has a dick. And learn biology the penile shaft, head, and sheathe go into the horse's abdominal cavity when not aroused. Think like an overly protective form of foreskin but for everything not just the head.
>>47096638
Again, I think it would fall back to the questions of "what would the kids look like/how would the family work". If inter-species relations consistently cause problems for whatever reason, it stands to reason that said relations would be dissuaded at least. Best-case scenarios, reproduction works fine, makes more perfectly healthy babies of either kind, and big ol' happy families can happen, or reproduction doesn't work at all, inter-species intercourse functions as a consequence-free lay and all the ups and downs that come with it.
