sher said:Actually you don't have to train for years to shoot bow in army. In unit archers are not sharpshooters - they shoot at certain distances they were ordered to shoot, not exact targets. There is even a british documentary film where they trained ordinary people to shoot famous english longbows in a week - you just need strong men. So this whole system is very artificial to begin with and shouldn't be judged from realistic point of view. In fact overall best shooters in this mod are crossbowmen, it's just too many people are blinded by DPS of archers and repeat same things over and over. The way of shooters to aim without anticipation allows player to act not in formation instead of being instantly killed in one volley. It's a game, and it should be played.
You are correctly, except noldors, Xbowmen are better than bowman in same tier for some reason.
Perhaps thanks to the rebalance of 3.7? Which nerfed many shields, and buffed the damage of bolt a lot.
