Add War Bow!

They have replaced the War Bow with a "yumi," a Japanese bow. I would really like to see the War Bow back with its original skin. I think it would be a good idea to add the original War Bow (and keep the yumi), and it can have the same stats as the yumi.

Not everyone wants a Japanese style bow. I and many others really would like the War Bow back to its original skin.

I fully support this!
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I have to say, I'm a bit surprised the yumi replaced the warbow. Yumi was quite popular on horseback, and many people believe the unusual curve of the bow was designed for ease when firing from horse. The warbow, however, cannot be used on horseback.

And before someone jumps in as says "but Yumi's were used before the introduction of horse-archery in Japan!" I'm aware. The fact remains though, they were commonly used from horseback once horse-archery became wide-spread.

If anything, why wasn't the strong-bow replaced with the yumi? I haven't ever heard of a historical bow referred to as a "strongbow." There are bows referred to as a "war bow."
So with PT >10 stones become simple too effective

Well Japanese people aren't mongol.....

If they add the Yumi bow I think it should be able to be used on horseback.

I don't see a reason why replace the War Bow with this skin instead of just adding a new Yumi bow, with the same or different stats.
