Wasting ammo isn't good but the fix is weird.
Or is it a misunderstanding on my part?

The problem was that crossbowmen had the tendency to to "aim high" if they didn't have a clear line of sight. This dramatically reduced the power of the bolts and it wasn't realistic either. So, from now on, crossbowmen will only shoot in a direct line.

How this affects sieges and crossbows remains to be seen.
