Right now I have 36 skill points for +75 counterattack... I'm wondering if this is useful at all, I never noticed any help when I was going up to novice carbineer.

Is counter broken? Or is it meant not to do the unblockable normal dmg attack that it should by definition do? Apologies if this question has been asked and answered elsewhere

Mm.. thanks for replying.. I meant - Counterattack by definition is an attack u do when someone attacks you - ie u damage them instead of or as well as them damaging you... at the min it just works like Block or Dodge- i wondered if this was intentional or not

counterattack works, you dont get a counter attack flag over your head like a NPC does, but if you look in your combat chat it shows up every now and then.
Below is a link from a recent hilarious NS encounter. Shown is a counterattack (near bottom of pic)

Again.. I know that's how it works at the minute.. all I'm saying is my definition of Counterattack is someone swings at you, you deflect the attack and strike back instantly, damaging them whilst lessening or negating the damage you recieve.. If it was intended to just be another Block or Dodge - ie. a technique to just "avoid" damage then why is it called counterattack?

It's called counterattack because they had to call it something! There, are you happy? Yes, it makes no sense, but what DOES make sense in this game? Sheesh....

in my oppinion counter attack should happen as often with a swordsman as dodge does with a fencer, but it doesnt, in fact i dont even notice it happen all that often

No its not working right, we have noob devs in this game lol. As with many things in this game they don't work the way the descriptions say they do. If im not mistaken dodge is supposed to completly dodge and attack, block you still get damage but block most of the damage, and counterattack your supposed to get hit but instantly hit back and they can't block it. Instead they all pretty much do the same thing.
