− | The recurve bow is a jack-of-all-trades neolithic weapon. | + | The recurve bow is a jack-of-all-trades neolithic weapon. Of neolithic weapons, it has the highest armor penetration (even beating the [[greatbow]]), a good projectile velocity (matching pistols). It's overall range and accuracy are great for its class, and stopping power is high enough to stagger [[human]]s. Overall damage and range are still worse than a [[greatbow]], even against armor. However, Recurve bows are easier to acquire due to their lower technology requirement and resource cost, and they are the cheapest weapons that can stagger humans. [[Shortbow]]s should be replaced with these whenever possible. |
− | + | Despite being good for a neolithic weapon, bows in general are raidly outclassed by early guns of the same quality. Basic firearms such as [[autopistol]]s and [[revolver]]s are a threat to fight, despite recurve bows having better accuracy and comparable damage from medium range. Even Tribal starts will quickly loot firearms to replace them, making researching it largely a waste of time. Should you find or craft a particularly high quality bow, it might remain competitive in the early game. | |
− | + | Against an unarmored human, a recurve bow can kill with 3 hits to the torso, 2-3 hits to the head, 2 hits to the neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple limbs in 2 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 5 hits (~21.5 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. | |

Overall, the recurve bow is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 11, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | Overall, the recurve bow is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 11, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | ||

The graphs assume a normal quality recurve bow against an adult human that's out in the open in clear weather. For DPS, projectile speed has also been factored into the equation, with the weighting based on the base amount of attacks that it'll take to put the aforementioned target into pain shock. | The graphs assume a normal quality recurve bow against an adult human that's out in the open in clear weather.
