think it was a good addition because it feels super different compared to the other weapons. I've been having lots of fun with it - one of the hardest weapons to use but can be deadly if used properly (https://youtu.be/DZxLlAz5_WE)
It's fairly functional once you get use to it. Had the best luck with the bolt rack at mid-long range as a faster GVT headshot machine. If you don't miss and it's not a crowd then standard for close. Explosive for catching folks dancing in/out of cover. G57 for close crowds and some luck to survive.
Pretty much dead vs anything with HoF unless you catch them off guard or they're secretly Stormtroopers.

Not gonna lie, that had me dying over here.
Was the Phantom Bow a gimmick? Or indeed getting roadkills with the SUAV? Gas mask kills, Limpeting buildings full of enemies, dropping a vaj (bf5 call in bomb, sorry, we call it that), laying mines on the enemies runway.........
I respectfully disagree. These make the game fun.

Crossbow Feedback for Dice:
1. Increase the hit box size, as there is absolutely no aim assist with controller and the hit box size is tiny which makes a slow arrow difficult to stick at medium to long range.
2. Increase the arrow velocity as it is very difficult to hit moving targets. Real life crossbows have more velocity than the BF game...
3. Increase the damage reduction over distance, as two shots are not going to happen against a player that is not asleep while playing...
4. Decrease the arrow reload time as second shots attempts take way too long due to extreme reload times...
5. Increase explosive tip damage to vehicles, as it is meaningless damage per arrow at this point.
One trick to take down players with one shot at distance is to switch to explosive arrows, yet you have to stick as the blast radius is tiny. Also it takes a very long time to switch between arrow types due to the long reload animation...which makes it a very risky tactic in the battlefield
In summary Dice, there are logical reasons that players hardly see anyone use the "Ghostmaker R10 Crossbow"...check your stats, the "Ghostmaker" is anything but as it stands...
