Projectile energy is comparable, but you need to train for 10 years to be an effective longbowman, but a couple months with a crossbow will let you achieve the same results.
You will achieve the same killing ability maybe but crossbowmen were deployed differently due to the size of their weapons and the difficulty of utilizing it in the same way. I dont know much about crossbowmen were used tactically though.
