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

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.
