Speed bonus for horse archery?

[EnDSchultz]

I have no idea if this has been discussed before. If it has, then this thread should be closed pretty quickly...

In any case, I was wondering if it is at all possible to implement a speed bonus system for ranged weapons. Specifically, whilst I grant that a horse at full speed shouldn't have a huge impact on the speed of an arrow, would it not make sense for ranged weapons used on horseback to have just a bit more punch when I fire them whilst charging at full canter into my opponent and releasing at point blank?

This is already in the game and IMO, it works very well. Both when you're firing from a charging horse and when you're firing at a horse, which is charging at you.

I don't know what's made you think that this isn't the current situation.

Ah, okay. I just didn't observe any apparent speed bonus in the damage readouts when firing from horseback.

Nevermind then.

I think its already in, but if someone could confirm that would be great.

I can confirm.  In singleplayer when you shoot someone on a horse moving away from you he takes much less damage than if you shoot a guy and you are charging at each other.
