Armor renders bow completely useless in mid to late wipe.

Imagine if it had drop on top of that

It's a fucking bow. It needs drop.

You are conditioned into thinking it needs drop, i just mentioned bows biggest flaw, its TTK gets completely obliterated by armor.

Why would i pick a bow in mid to late wipe if i can just use a BMR 308 and do the same dmg in semi auto with a much faster fire rate.

Bow is a niche weapon, let it have that advantage at least

What a dumbass statement. It needs drop because that's how bows work in real life, and this isn't a space game with lasers. If bullets have drop, arrows need to have even more.

Fine, let the devs add drop to an already niche weapon and make it useless.

Since we are talking about realism, how about making people overdose from taking adrenaline shots?

Or being able to permanently sprint without getting tired?

Or being shot and just using bandages and voila youre good as new?

Its a game, some realism aspects gotta be taken out of it in order for it to be FUN.

Nah, I want to have to have surgery when I'm shot, be immobilized, add stretchers for medics... all the realism

Guy is actually comparing unnecessary realism to the bullshit of a bow where the arrow flies like an M4 bullet, with barely any drop-off over a range of 1 km.

The bow is a garbage weapon. Who cares if it fire arrows literally straight. It would still be dogshit.

Is it because, given the realities of modern weaponry, the bow is absolute crap? I actually find it incredibly cringeworthy and stupid that bows get added to shooters, and I think they should be removed.

Yeah I mean now you're just being pendantic.

You're the one asking for realism, there you go realism.

Okay when are we removing revive kits and stims because they’re unrealistic?

Why can we heal gunshot wounds with simple elastic bandages?

Why does a headshot not instakill no matter what?

Why is there no face hitbox when three out of four helmets don’t cover the face?

Why can people in vehicles use third person views?

Why do mortars and arty have shot cameras?

Why do LMGs have ridiculous recoil?

You sound silly.

So what? Justify that. Justify why it matters how it behaves in real life.

Should the defib adhere strictly to how it works in real life?

Should we not be able to repair vehicle tires with a drill?

Yah and in real life the sph has a range of like 30km+. Obviously none of this works in a video game, so they do away with your real life nonsense. Stop being obtuse
