fablefreak1;34231 said:Thinking in a historical way bows, crossbows, and muskets (along w/ arquebusiers, and hand cannons) all fought side by side between the 1300's and late 1500's and even later than that. See, bows have long range accuracy over early muskets, crossbows have power and range over longbows, but muskets have stopping power and long range over both sinew powered weapons. So here is an easy guide:
Longbows/Bows:
Good:
Long range accuacy
Awesome fire rate
Bad:
Weak stopping power
Bad at close range
Crossbows:
Good:
Good stopping power
Good at close range
Good at long range
Bad:
Difficult to load
Slow fire rate
Muskets:
Good:
Incredible stopping power
Good range
Awesome "carnage" effect
Mildly effective at close range
Bad:
Terrible fire rate
Hard to reload in a fight
