@AceXSilver143 Triple Take does 69 body shot damage.
The Longbow is only 10 off because they recently nerfed it; it has the highest fire rate out of any sniper. The damage being close to the Wingman is offset by the fact that you can’t put a 3x on a Wingman and hit for 45 a bunch of times reliably from 100+ meters on a moving target. The advantage of the Longbow is being able to be further away. Same thing with the Charge Rifle you are simply not going to hit for 90 every time on a moving target unless they are barely moving, but you are also probably never going to hit Wingman headshots from the range that the Charge Rifle can deal damage consistently with scopes up to 8x.
At the Wingman’s optimal range you really need to be able to hit your shots or you will lose to a shotgun or other good CQ weapon. You are looking only at damage not at engagement range. The wingman is a high skill weapon because it can get more accurate damage at longer ranges (not sniper ranges) but in CQ you have to be able to hit your shots on strafing/jumping/sliding targets with R99/PK etc…it just isn’t fully comparable to a sniper.
People who choose sniper do so because they want long range options usually behind cover and/or at height, Wingman is a far more aggressive choice but riskier due to the fire rate and low mag size. Just my 2 cents having used the Wingman pretty well for several seasons.

I know the triple take does 69 dmg but if u read what i said i mentioned it not fully charged on purpose. My point with the longbow was its basically a longbow in pistol damage alone in damage nerfs or not. Personally i have hit 90s on moving targets with charge rifle for me i can track targets decently well but yes u wont hit headshots constantly from range unless your a cheater but my point was why does it do more damage then most snipers i know some have been nerfed but snipers supposed to be the strongest imo. You say high skill but majority of wingman users i die to then spectate pretty spam shoot no flicking or tracking which is pretty frustrsting that i basically died to lucky bullets. Just feel it needs to have more skill so spam shooters dont get away with random kills.
