Lol, the most of the arrows are mine. And you have a lot of archers, sometimes i´m really cofused how you can shoot so exactly in the head! I was on the battle, you stay as an archer, and you have to avoid 10 arrows in one time!
In the same time i wonder how you saw the catapult behind the hill, our guys couldn´t see that!
In some point you say, ok, the archer is good, he know what he doing, but sometimes you see a noob on EU1/2 and after 1 Week in the Battle and he can only shoot you in your head. I dont know its a cheat or hack, i cant say it, but still something is going wrong!
then i will help and explain
1. catapults: on hurs siege everyone could see it from the top of the keep. It wasn't very far down the hill. 2nd one we seen from gatehouse. On Tibaut siege we could see them all until u moved last one under the hill. I had to put ladded up on the keep to see last one, but then at some point we lost sight of it since u moved it further. Keeps are high and very good view.
2. Archers can have teamplay too, when u trying to shoot one archer, another archer shoots u. If you think no one see u - u dead.
3. Alts. Sometimes good archers make skip the fun or 2nd characters to check different builds and test them on EU1/2 for a while, because they need to get use to it and see if it really better or not. So its same good player just with new character.
But yes with new mechanics even nubs hit the target very often. I'm also a bit surprised how some nubs with shitty aim and top bow headshoot me sometimes. I guess its random.
I personally focus on heads and short/medium distances. Only in mele i shoot in the body if targets move too fast and too close to each other. I know some of our archers that focus on body 90% of the time.
So its for u to decide what u want to focus on. Usually those who focus on the head provide more kills even if they miss a lot more.
I guess cheaters would headshoot all the time and never shoot a body at all. Or when u dueling archer and he always guess where u going like 100% of the time, then he is probably cheater. Because archer dueling is mostly guess work and knowing ur enemy but its never that accurate.
Defending castle when u have healing tent and a good bow is ever archers dream
