I used percentage because that's what the TSK manual uses.

Anyway, I wasn't really comparing bowmen and crossbowmen to other troops. I was stating how crossbowmen are about 3 times stronger than bowmen, while swordfighters are only almost twice as good a axefighters.

No Bence you're wrong, I used google.
Attack rate = Cooldown between each attack.
Attack strentch = Damage inflicted each attack.
So the values you mentioned are actually attack strentch.

Damage inflictsd? Don't be kidding Bo. All successful attacks inflict 1 damage, no matter what soldier is attacking Anyway ask Lewin and Krom, they surely know the values. But I'm sure there is no difference between inflicted damages.

So for a knight with 55 attack strength against a axefighter with 2 defence, 55/2 = 27.5% change to inflict damage with each strike.

Units do not have an attack rate/frequency in KaM. All melee soldiers attack at the same rate (there is a certain number of frames in their animation and pauses at certain points, which is the same for all melee soldiers).

There are bonuses for attacking from directions other than the front, that's why flanking and surrounding your enemy is important.

Are those bonuses known Lewin? And if yes, are they bonuses like x%, or like +x attack strength?

Are the bonusses also here for arrows/bolts?

Are the bonusses also here for arrows/bolts?

If I'm not mistaken Lewin mentioned some time ago that such bonuses would make ranged attacks overpowered, so no.
