Which risk increases when late medieval trebuchet rope properties degrade?

💡 Explanation

Decreased rope stiffness causes greater projectile release angle variation because elastic deformation changes trajectories; therefore accuracy decreases rather than speed changing, and the frame experiences the same force rather than collapsing.
