although I would say they have to contend with range penalties as well and aren't getting accuracy bonuses without taking time to aim. But yes I absolutely agree with both you points about realism and balance. |

Re: We're (not) gonna have to adjust Bow ROFs
Amazingly there is a *reason* low TL battles are settled by melee weapons (and not by bows, or catapults, or some other ranged or heavy weapons) but modern ones are not. Missiles don't reliably win battles until the 16th century and even then you can screw up enough to lose to a pike or cavalry saber charge for the next couple centuries.
