Is the damage of a hit dependant on the type of attack?

Question

In Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, there are 3 different types of attack - a swipe, a stab and an overhead.

I already know that different weapons do different amounts of damage, have different reach and different speed - but do the types of attack? So, for example, will a stab ever do more damage than a swipe with the same weapon?

Short answer : yes.

Each attack of each weapon does different damage.

Each class has specific resistance to the type of attack, and there is also a modifier for the body part, see the wiki for numbers.

Wikia gives no answer to the question, doesn't mention the three types of attacks (swipe, stab, overhead) in the question common to all melee weapons. – user598527 Apr 01 '17 at 14:23
What? Of course it does, I don't understand. – Ealhad Apr 01 '17 at 14:26
