i read that it is now so:

infantry strong vs cavalry
cavalry strong vs shooters
shooters strong vs infantry

I think this is not right. If you ask me it would be.

infantry strong vs shooters
cavalry strong vs infantry (becouse they overwalk them)
shooters strong vs cavalry (horses don't really have much defence against arrows I think.

I think this is more logical.

Infantry, just imagine some pikeman. Result? Cavalry taken out.

It's ok as it's made

Well its dificult to tackle this;

Infantry > Cavalry, the pikemen versus normal cavalry scenario BUT Cavalry > Infantry if it were simple footmen. Maybe if a spearwielding unit would get bonusses to attack to cavalry.

this is what I mean and there aren't any spearmen in HOMM V as far as I know.

In terms of military history, cavalry used against infantry, shooters versus infantry and to a lesser extent cavalry, infantry vs infantry (and if smashing through to back lines) shooters.

Shooters normally being back up infantry if needed, but weak against specialised infantry.

Jaspertheman's point is also accurate: pikemen standing against cavalry charges.
