Custom battle set to VH, grassy plain, AI controlling a unit of Gaelic Archers (missile attack 7). Recorded below are the number of kills after archers fired 10 arrows.
The test was done first a Night to force the AI to use flaming arrow.
Then it was repeated at Midday for normal arrows
Noble Pikemen - Unit size 76, Armour 7(upgraded), Defence 7, Shield 0
Night attack 15, 12, 25, 22, 20, 19, 21, 17, 23, 14 = Avg 18.8
Midday attack 33, 25, 26, 31, 26, 25, 27, 32, 32, 24 = Avg 28.1
Highland Pikemen - Unit size 76, Armour 0, Defence 6, Shield 0.
Night attack 39, 37, 45, 53, 43, 35, 43, 39, 50, 47 = Avg 43.1
Midday attack 44, 57. 62, 67, 59, 55, 61, 64, 54, 52 = Avg 57.5
The number of kills per 10 arrows is higher for normal arrows, than for flaming arrows, on targets with or without armour.
In addition the rate of fire for normal arrows is about twice that of flaming arrows.
