When is c-rpg realistic? I mean come on... arrows are freaking wet noodles. People survive headshots and pikeman fight in close combat. What part of that is realistic when an archer in tribal warrior armor survives from a crossbow bolt or when heavy armor two hands can catch and kill archers....
Its totally possible to survive a headshot with a descent helmet, not all arrows were armorpiercing. Pikemen did fight in pretty close combat. The longer distance the bolt flies the less damage it does, thus surviving a bolt with tribal armor is possible. Depends on heavy armor and chainmail under it, and archers arrowbags are pretty damn heavy when they are full.
But yea...the game aint exactly realistic. But fun isnt stuck in realism.
