Can't use Long Bow on horseback

[Jeeboon]

I have skill "Mounted Archer (can use any bow on horseback) "
but why i cant use Noble Long Bow on horseback

[Dudeskio]

Yep... made a thread about it myself already. I'm assuming it's a bug. A bug that cost me 140k. It's cool, I'm not bitter. I just bought the other 140k bow to use in the meantime... *vomit*

A lot of perks do not work currently

It haves the "Cant use on horse" symbol if i remember well. If it is the most powerful one, then it is ok not to be used on horse, that thing can one shoot almost anyone.

@Gab well apparently there is a perk that removes that.

The idea of using a 6 foot bow on horseback makes me chuckle.

There is a perk that allows you to use any crossbow / bow while on horseback. You have to pick btwn them though.

[SeanMungo]

oh mb, didn't fully read OP.
Wow, sounds like a bug?

Daikyu are well over two meters, and the asymmetry reportedly makes them quite manageable on a horse, able to be taken from side to side and so on. Fascinating stuff.

Other cultures have used the equivalent of longbows on horseback, look at my samurai post. Also the perk states quite literally.... ANY BOW, it doesn't say "Oh any bow except Longbows" It says literally "ANY BOW" There is no point in having this perk otherwise cause you can already use "Any bow that isn't a longbow" on horseback already lol.

a lot of the perk just straight out don't work
such as the starting/culture perk don't even work as well

[Winterwolf]

Yep, not to mention that this particular perk is under both Archery and Horsemanship. It's literally doubled so you have two chances to get the perk lol.

Weirdly enough it was a thing. There are medieval paintings that show fully armored man at arm carrying a English bow into battle on horse back...
