Flaming Arrows, or not?

I know that flaming arrows were used to lower morale in the Rome1, has anyone heard anything about flaming arrows in Rome2? What are the pros and cons of using them?

There was a video of naval warfare where some archers were firing flame arrows towards an enemy ship, so yeah, they'll be back.
Effects will probably be less accurate, but more damage and lowering morale. Against ships it can also set them on fire.

I think fire arrows will be annoying this time around. If you looked at the Teutoberg gameplay, you saw the Romans defend successfully against regular arrows but drop like flies from fire arrows. In reality, fire arrows are really unreliable and all that stuff that is flammable at the front of the arrow will limit it's penetration drastically. Also, it's a bigger weight at the end of the arrow which means it'll be less accurate and not travel as far as well. However, fire arrows have a purpose in this game and will be in. I personally wouldn't want them in.

Then don't use them. On the plus side, it looks as if they are a general tactic as opposed to timer abilities.
