Longbows are no good

[dopp]

But looking historically Kraxis my friend, this 3 seconds IS what the Longbowmen were expected to do, but that's all expected. Looking at historical accounts of Agincourt et al, you find quotes of 'Clouds of Arrows' cutting down Knights every 6-12 seconds.

Erm unless graphics lag affects real-life battles, 3 seconds between volleys should not stretch to 6-12 seconds between casualties falling over.

All troops take significantly more hits to kill in M2TW. Peasants can take several musket balls through the chest before dying. So don't be surprised if your longbows are not mowing people down in droves. Unless of course you contend that bodkin arrows are more powerful than heavy caliber musket balls fired at point-blank range.
