2 years late lol, but here it is:

Brits don't have the thumb ring tech, which means they fire even slower than the 5% the base stats imply. Accuracy also comes into play here. Plumes will typically outdamage the Longbowmen given both a ~15% accuracy  and ~25% fire rate advantage. I suppose the exception would be against targets with the right amount of pierce armour, which of the top of my head would be a non-infantry unit with 7, 8 or 9 total pierce armour. I may have fudged all the numbers a bit but you get the point.
