the wpf in arhcery is the main factor to determine your accuracy. So yes, you do get reduced accuracy for wearing armour. This used to not apply to crossbows but they do now too. Still, crossbows have a very high native accuracy rating
Actually a lot of people run around with a crossbow and only 1 wpf. This works very well (and the whine will probably make the devs change this next patch)
Also cRPG was MUCH worse (balance wise) when this wasn't the case. You should have seen the full plate archers with 170-ish wpf a longbow with I think it was 30 pierce damage, native draw speed and dead eye aiming reticule, a flamberge on the back and 2 quivers. Some of them was even on a horse (yes, with longbow). Those were not good times to start playing cRPG as a new guy.Yeah this should have been far too powerful... All of the moves were very well placed... but for the wpf I am just wondering if there could be a funnier balanced way to allow accuracy with higher armor... anyhow maybe a 85-90 points in crossbow (filling the 3 points slots) would be a relative compromise with Rus Lamellar Cuirass or Vaegir Elite armor or Churburg Cuirass (Damn the Churburg Cuirass would have been nice...)
I'm sorry I'm not sure to understand.. do you mean they are gonna make the crossbow with 1 wpf less powerful next patch?Well i dunno what they are gonna do, but they are gonna make it so using a crossbow with no skills in it will not be very good at all. At least I think so, you may never be certain what they are gonna do. Maybe they are gonna make it so you need certain amount of wpf to us it, maybe they gonna make it REALLY inaccurate without any wpf or maybe they will reduce the damage of xbows in general and make wpf give them more damage. Again I don't know what they are gonna do or if they are gonna do anything at all. But if I had to guess I would say they are gonna do something about.

Still, the wpf loss isn't that much and your not gonna be that inaccurate with a xbow and heavy armour. Just don't expect to be sniping and your fine. I don't have the formula or any numbers but I guess the wpf loss while wearing heavy armor is about 20-30 wpf. Not that much, only bad for archers really. The main problem is if you have your wpf too spread out and crossbows will lose their accuracy a bit. But hey. Do what you said. Make a normal 2h build, agility so you can get 7 weapons master, and then when you get 140 or so 2h skill you can put the rest in crossbow. If you don't like it, drop the crossbow when you retire and make your next build or make some changes to it. That's the thing with cRPG, you can make whatever you want :D. This is how you should do it anyway tough, always max out one before the other.
