I also noticed that individual shooters will not start their reload animation UNTIL their missile has finished it's flight, so it is possibbile to increase Arrow Fire rates somewhat by increasing projectile velocities. Intrestinglly enough, it also lowers the arc of the projectile, this increases the power of long range archary as flat trajectories are best.
Interesting find. However, I don´t suppose it would fix the Crossbows arching their fire (who ever heard of that, by the way?), or would it?
