After doing a bit more research I have found that wpf does effect the release flaw but not greatly, it seems that if you get past a certain number of wpf, 130-140 (I am not Walt or whoever the cRPG Scientist is) the flaw is reduced although it is still present, increase in the speed to 50, as found before does have roughly the same effect of losing the flaw but with roughly 100 wpf (Please, as I said, don't hold me to figures! I just bodged together some tests but unlike testing programms, I can't just automate it
).
The thing with crossbows is that they take a horrendous amount of strength to pull the string back due to the amount of energy it uses to launch the bolt, while with a bow, the string is longer thus as someone said before, the energy put into drawing back a bow string to a crossbow in turn becomes more and fires the arrow at a greater speed and thus a greater distance, which is not reflected in cRPG. (I am not calling realism! Just physics, which could be completely wrong
So please correct me! ^^)
I am constantly asked why do I use the longbow and I reply "it's relaxing, the long draw times means I can be completely aware of whats around me and the long range means that 90% of the time, there is NOTHING around me!" But thats just me, and i'm a cowardly archer who can't melee to even save his life, so I like to run away and be a pain in the arse instead!
