Let archers and turrets shoot only once their body points near enough at the target

If a unit fires the moment it is told to, arrows leave while the body still faces somewhere else, and it looks like cheating. If it demands a perfect aim, it never shoots at all. Here is a tolerance that depends on how big the target looks from where the shooter stands.

Why this works

What counts as hitting depends on how big the target looks from where you stand. A near target fills a wide slice of view, a far one a thin slice. Letting that slice set the allowed aiming error makes shots fair at every distance.

When not to use it

Wrong for weapons that do not need a precise line: area blasts, mortars, flame throwers or anything that always hits the spot. There, fire as soon as the target is in range and skip the aiming wait.
