Missiles uneffective?

[Supota]

I downloaded 1.1 patch and as in description they reduced the damage made by arrows, but imo they are now almost worthless.

Was doing a real-time and had a regular group of 150 gondor archers marcing against me. Was waiting whit my 600 orc scouts to nuke those gondorians. I fired my first arrow volley.... none of them died... In second arrow volley i got 1... In third i got 3 more.

I know orc scouts are lame at firing missiles, but still i find it very frustrating when they are so uneffective i really liked it the way it was before this patch anyone else feeling bad bout this?

I have to say, my Snaga Archers with Isengard are doing normal damage to targets, normally resulting in 10 somewhere kills per volley.

I just fough a battle at which the enemy (bandits) sallied forth but stood still in my firing range. They had 2 town guads, 2 axemen and 2 heavy axemen. My battalion of Eriador Scouts with the help of some Eridaor hunters took out 68% of the enemy army. (Rushed in my grey company -> mass rout -> slaughter with only 20 dead on my side and 1100 on the enemy´s side.)
I think that archers are still strong. Don´t forget that Scouts are very lame and Gondor Archers are almost the best human archers in the game.)

Aye, your right. Maybe i´ll just have to live whit it then =D have been testing other archers and they seems to be ok. But is there a easy way to make them a bit more effective? would balance the game a bit imo

Yeah, it's the fact that Gondor Archers have the plate armor. Oh, and snaga's missile attack is very low. Just get some Uruk Crossbowmen and watch them tear through the Gondorian wimps.

On a similar sort of note I'm playing as the Silvan elves and no matter what I do, my archers seem to be firing out of sync with each other so I'm getting small groups of volleys rather than the effective arrow shower...any ideas whats going on?
