Sorry, i didnt find a special theme on forums for my post but anyway ...
Smth about arrows... Well, i am an active member of historical club and every time i watch when some archer is kiting from a tincan with gothic plate i laugh too much...
1st of all, arrows have never dealed any damage for plates, it was a bussines of x-bows. Check this video, there are some series in russian, where archer is shooting bodkin in Churburg cuirras -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCywaYlQxWE2nd, shooting in a millanes salet for example is absolutly unreallistic, medieval armors were made to give a maximum protection to their owners, thats why they costed so much IRL and they are not cheap enough in game. Helmets were 1.5-2, sometimes 3 mms in thickness, so shooting in it even with bodkin arrows is the same as shooting with a rifle in a tank. For example the first english tank Mark I had 8-12 mms armor and it was enought to stop a bullet.
In rare cases when arrow penetrated throw a plate it could not do any damage to a body, cause a knight was wearing mail or a padded armor under main cuirass. U can also check it on Utube.
So in my opinion arrows should be nerfed or devs need to add some stuff like advanced hit boxes in uncovered places like eyes, armpit, back of the knee or neck if it is not covered with bevor and has only mail armor.
