Cavalry units discrepancy

Have you noticed, Ratha does not keep its sword-shield or bow-arrow anywhere on his chariot when it switches weapons. The weapons just appear out of Nowhere. On the other hand Magyar Huszar, Qizilbash, Keshik have bow and quiver on their horseback yet they cannot shoot arrows.

Also I feel like their should be a regional skin for camel line that Mongol, Tatar, Cuman, Chinese get. They should all get the Bactrian Camel:

Every unit doesn’t need an official regional skinpack

If the bactrian camel wasn’t already used for the Mameluke I might be more amenable to this suggestion, but I think visually it’d be confusing, or at least unnecessarily sub-optimally clear.

We use dromedary camels for multiple different units, some part of the same line (Hell, the Camel Rider line has 4 potential stages).

I think having more than one unit on a Bactrian Camel isn’t gonig to be that confusing.

Just the camel rider and camel archer right? Unless I’m forgetting something.

The bow clearly differentiates between a camel rider and a camel archer both of which use dromedaries, and the mameluke uses a bactrian camel.

I agree it’s probably not wildly confusing, but I do think it’s strictly speaking less clear.

We have like 20 units on a horse, are those not clear?

Simply different armour and weapons for the rider should be sufficient. And also knowing that you’re not playing against Saracens.

Less clear is not the same as unclear.

We have three horse units with wings and named similarly I doubt people will get confused with some camel units riding a different camels.
