i mean you dont need training as much as practice if you want to hit something
They did used spears to
that and other flaming stuff
maybe not extensively
but they didnt extensively use heated shot either
and yet it still has its niche
And when they did it was to set off a secondary (ie tar/pitch) but even that is not that much
Fire arrows make some sense but like against wooden buildings obviously or other super flammables
flame arrows counterract wooden structures
siege engines being one such
Have heard about them being nowhere near as effective as hollywood would have you think
the fuck do you think they covered them in wet furs for
do i have to pull up the Lindybeige?
Well the thing is everyone thinks that "fire arrows> Wooden structure) do you think the dudes with the wooden structures were that stupid....
well an arrow on fire isnt gonna make you any deader than a regular arrow
because i'll do it
and its not gonna catch on your armour
they didn't coat it or had something on standby to snuff out your pathetic little arrow <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
multiple dozen arrows on a wooden structure will very much burn it
This is making me feel like watching Lindybeige regardless
Oh look a shitty volley fire in that still
I hope he tears that apart too
i wouldnt know
volley fire works on guns
i see no reason it wouldnt on arrows tbh
oh my god...
now im going to go archer anectdotal on you- volley fire on arrows is retarded
is volley fire on guns retarded?
the weight of fire is the intended goal not accuracy
the only reason for volley fire would be so that untrained archers could know how high to arc their shot by looking at the trained guy and doing what he was doing.
Pointing it into the air and releasing means losing some of the power from the arrow and the flight- volleying arrows into a target is an outright lie by holly wood
Bows like guns are aimed directly at the target
likewise it helps for maintaining a constant rythm of fire
Arrows you fire in an arc in the air rifles you point at people
considering how much even bullets dip
You adjust for distance sure, but the point is you want the arrow going forwards
Not upwards and downwards
i dont think arrows are gonna be aimed direcly at a target unless theyre like 20 meters away
yeah im just saying that if you had to arc arrows you would want to volley fire
