Flaming Arrows, should they be removed?

Thats fine as long as ordinary arrows can set fire to seige towers and rams.

I find that fire arrows don't actually set fire to siege weapons such as towers. Usually the flaming arrows shot from the wall towers will set fire to things.

They do in my game. its a standard tactic of mine. Whether they should is a question of historical reference and I don't actually know enough about the period to comment.
