Which problem was most reduced when Roman catapults incorporated leaf springs?

💡 Explanation

Variability in shot trajectory was reduced with leaf springs in catapults because elastic deformation enabled reproducible energy storage and force application, therefore more shots followed consistent paths, rather than inconsistent trajectories due to rope tension variations.
