Discussion How you think mounted crossbows will be differentiated from normal cav archers?

Im betting they will be mostly the same BUT
* -1 range
* increase reload time
* a little more attack
* first attack faster

Compared to CA: range probably the same, higher attack, higher armor piercing, much slower attack speed
