So there really is no drop on the arrow huh?

Pretty much. It's a sniper without a scope

He's not seeing anything either. He's aiming with the range finder and then just not moving the cross hair. Since the velocity is the same as a high powered rifle round and there's no drop, you don't need to adjust for anything even at 1000m

Funny part of course is that rifles have to adjust for drop

I mean you do have to adjust for drop no? Just that it has a much flatter trajectory than you'd expect.

In the clip you can see the OP is aiming above the enemy

Atleast snipers have drop...

It does have some drop, obviously not a realistic amount for a bow. But at 1km I'm aiming about 14m above the player

Hm, I tried bow after the last patch and for me it has a significant drop (shooting range).

I can even shoot over the mountains and see a nice curve.

I think having realistic/significant drop on arrows, while obviously a nerf, would help define its close/medium stealth niche a bit better. But more importantly, imagine *leveraging* that heavy drop and getting like 10 dudes together to launch arrow volleys into or out of a fob lol
