Which outcome occurred when Roman torsion siege engines like the ballista exceeded wooden frame constraints?

💡 Explanation

Projectile accuracy suffered because exceeding wood capability led to frame warping; torsion spring *asymmetry* compromised launch trajectory. Therefore targeting became imprecise rather than extending range because the whole engine suffered fatigue, rather reducing weight or making it easier to deploy.
