Petition to remove rain *effect* (if possible) on crossbows

[Nemeth]

There seems to be a random occurrence of a crossbow losing precision during the battle. The reticule becomes wider for no apparent reason and stays that way until battle is over (I think). Then it's fine again.

Ye, noticed this as well. Once in a while, for one round the reticule is wider then it should be. Next round, everything is fine again. I thought it's a bug, but couldn't have been bothered to write it in bug section, and maybe it's just another "perk" of crossbows (like malfunctioning).

Crossbow in itself is fine, but these things (rain, malfunction, random wider reticule) make it worse than anything else. Imagine a Strategus battle - your team is themed and has crossbowmen, for fun. The battle begins and.. there's a rain. You lose 2x more tickets and gg. That's BS.

I seriously don't understand why crossbows have all this realistic things, while other weapons have nothing? Why there is no string snapping on bows, no sword shattering when blocking significantly heavier weapon, no polearm breaking when blocking axes etc.? Or, since it would be ridiculous to have those things, why are there so many things that can happen to xbows?

sign! nerf rain effect! it's give unbalance

All the realistic effects are nice for singleplayer but for multiplayer you want as few random factors effecting you as possible, so yeah remove the rain effect.

I thinl we should remove the sun glare effect as IRL i would wear sun glasses.

Nail on the head.  Crossbows are penalised by this piece of selective realism.  Remove it, or increase equipment realism across the board.

There are lots of unrealistic things happening in the game (beginning with no wound consequences and ending with throwing weapons always hitting with the sharp end), and as a random factor it should be removed. It makes no sense to specialize in this weapon if you are gonna suck with it sometimes (and that times, all the battle) regardless of your skill or tactics.
