It is recommended to use Light Combat Mod Collection which includes the functionality and offers much more, and the "Consistant Arrow Speed" part in RealisticBallistics has much better compatibility with other mod.
Ever wonder why firing the exactly same arrow, noble bow does 80 damage with 90 speed, while noble longbow does 95 damage with only 85 speed? Physics tells us when the arrow is the same, its damage should only depend on its speed.
This mod changes the arrow speed of every bow (and crossbow) to match its damage. This means the arrow speed of bows receive a 10~30% nerf, while corssbows remains almost the same (around 1% buff). Noble bow now does 77 damage (reduced from 80) and noble longbow does 82 (reduced from 95) to make the damage level progression more consistant with bows.
This makes aiming bows harder for both the player and AI, especially against fast moving cavalry, which reduces the accuracy and combat effectiveness of "too OP" archers in current version. This also has the side effect of giving archers more curved ballistics, allowing them to fire over the head of infantry standing before them.
Compatibility
Not compatible with other mods changing bow's characteristics (like changing damage type to cut).
