In the middle ages the people advanced this weapon into a gretaer and powerful weapon. This was a great achievement for mankind. A little back history about bows and arrows, The first bow and arrow was created about 64,000 years ago. There are three main bows : compound,recurve, and traditional. Yu would have to wind it up ( it took a lot of power to wind up) but it could cause a lot of damage. A cross bow was another typ of strong bow. It was about six feet tall and about 5/8 inch wide. Long bows, known as welsh bows were a very strong type of bow. The butt is an area where targets are located. Knights would train at an area known as the butt. Also yes, very nice looking mod.This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:ĭuring the middle ages archery was the main resort for defense. I like that this didn't turn into a pissing match about swords. That's a good point, realism always should stand aside to gameplay mechanics/balance. so i guess some extra DPS for katana makes sense, maybe i should also put a higher deterioration rate to katana as balance. PS: after some youtube research i will say katana is sharper but more fragile, longsword is more durable. However almost double the workamount for 0,55 more DPS seems balanced to me. Good point, i guess i got wrong impression from R. To sum things up the katana wasn't a super amazing sword, it had its strengths and weaknesses like many other melee combat weapons. Of course, the European longsword was also fully capable of piercing attacks and typically at a greater length. Despite common belief, a katana was perfectly capable of effective stabs hell, I've seen modern videos of it punching through steel plate. A straight blade also allows for more controlled parries than a curved blade, and this is evident in medieval swordplay tactics. The curvature of the blade allowed for a better cut with a swing, but the longsword's sheer length and weight largely made up for the lack of a curved cutting edge. The reason weapons in feudal Japan took so much effort to make was largely due to poor ore quality that required a lot of purification, and also its scarcity (hence wooden armour). Historically speaking, the katana was not functionally 'better' than a European longsword. Personally I'm not really for the whole "folded a gorillion times katana", though.
