As an archer I find it somewhat odd that when I fire an arrow at a 80 degree angle it goes flying off about a mile or two away. I really liked the adjustment they did to throwing and think bows should do something similar so that indirect fire is a possibility. This could potentially be used well in strategus battles too.(Rain down arrows on a catapult crew while safely behind your walls, with a shielded spotter up top to help with aim adjustments.)
While I can see the point about indirect fire on catapults, I don't get why you are willing to waste arrows (esp. now after the amount you get was nerfed) by indirect fire during normal play.
Of course, the 1-in-a-thousand headshots across the map are great, but, mostly you just miss, don't you?.
