The formula for ranged damage is based upon the quality of the weapon (and ammo for bows). The min damage is based on the perc:agi ratio, in which case you need 2x perc as the opponents agi for it to not matter. The only factor MM has in any of the archery equations is in how fast you aim.
Depending on the type of armor, you need a significantly better Ranger's Bow to penetrate armor. It also depends on how much armor the target is wearing. Just a breastplate with a couple other minor pieces? Doesn't need much. Wearing a full set of steel plate (bp, guantlets, helm, etc), I don't think it matters how good your rbow is, you're not going to penetrate armor. You will keep doing armor damage, though, and that's the point of having archers in a battle group.
Archers are also very useful on defense. They can keep plugging away at anyone manning rams.
