As for Uber armies with dragoons, Late Louis with 15-16 possible, is one.
Some of my thoughts
For dragoons, if they move (other than a simple advance of 3MU or less) fire as LF, otherwise as MF, if their moving they won't have as much time to set up to shoot so less effective. Which also to a large extent would make them more effective if taking and holding terrain as they should do than running around sniping.
M/H guns to be deployed in first deployment group and not able to fire in flanks, -1 to hit over 8" except against other artillery, when captured can be removed.
In some battles, units where fired at almost all day with minimum casualties at long range. Also will make it much harder to get that one casualty on an Average horse unit at long range that then makes then ineffective for the rest of the battle.
Also all H/M artillery where usually first on the battlefield due to how cumbersome they are too move.
Points for Det Horse/ Horse/ Cavalry do need to be looked at although I am not an expert on these I can see the problems from other peoples discussions.
All commanded shot should be Muskets, no Swedish Salvo Commanded Shot, remove regimental guns from Swedish Commanded shot, the number of guns each unit had was very small, and by allowing them to be Muskets then they shoot as two MF at short range rather than 1.
Allow commanded shot to charge if in edge contact with Horse that is also charging
