English longbow or yumi?

[Govedo13]

The Mongol reflex bow then Turkey-Ottoman improved bow were the best. Turkey-Ottoman one is proved to be the most powerful bow ever made by man. The reflex bows are a way superior then longbow or yumi because they were smaller, easier to use and packed even more punch.They have also double range compared to Longbow or yumi. All kind of iranic/turk horse archers used small fast horses and reflex bows hence they were a way superior then the heavy armoured knights or infantry especially if they used parthian shot tactic. This tactic worked for more then 1500 years. First known defeated with it were the romans.

The truth is that the winners write the history books, western mediaeval military power is highly exaggerated in all kind of media just because financially western countries are able to produce more content like movies books etc.They also have a lot bigger research budgets.
The truth is that western feudal armies were really small in numbers and lacked diversity and tactics compared with the eastern/Asia feudal armies.
Here some examples:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Acheloos
Note the numbers- unknown to the world Bulgarian-Byzantine Battle with 120 000 participants compared with well known Hastings with 20-30 000 participants.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
