Honestly, I think they can get rid of the arch altogether.
Well, yes, that was precisely my request from the beginning. Projectiles should fly in a straight line (and FASTER), especially on the short distances allowed currently by the game.
BOTH because that's how projectiles work in reality AND because that's what the D&D ruleset suggests.
As an added bonus (and not a trivial one) there's also the fact that it would just look a lot more cool if playing as a marksman would have at least a vague feedback of "power" behind shots.
