@SW-User Yep, crossbows were really only a thing when they started to see plate armor and needed something with more kick to penetrate it reliably. A few crossbows to help take out plate armor knights with a barrage of Longbows for volume on the the larger horde of soldiers in mail and gambeson.
Only wrong on the most heavily armored knights part. Those were the main reason for crossbows.

where are the stats?
Technically you can make a bow and a crossbow equally strong. In general, crossbows aren't bows

Crossbow can be more accurate but the long bow has better range. Idk depends on fighting conditions I guess

Whichever I get in whatever game I'm playing.

Longbow?

Neither really but a regular bow is simpler and faster.

@Fangirlsarah1996 Not really, being able to out the most projectiles downrange is really where the power lies. With the amount of energy in a projectile you reach a point of.diminishing returns. If it hits the vitals, it hits the vitals. With something like an arrow how hard it hits them is of little difference.
The main advantage of the crossbow is added range from having the added draw weight and also not having to hold the draw weight yourself. Owning both the crossbow just shoots farther with less arc. It's a little flatter shooting is all. But a battle scenario having a flat shooting quick first shot is nothing compaired to being able to send more arrows down range faster.
