i do miss the longbow in strat, but as it is slower, heavier, more expensive and about the same damage as a Rus bow, whats the point of spending the extra money for a worser bow.
The horn bow is still a viable bow as its versatile and is also better in strat.
Played as a crossbower just recently, and with round 55 body armor I never took more than 50% from a MW Rus Bow and MW Bodkins. That's why I'm so suprised that Horn Bow does that amount of damage
as for this bagge, i currently run with 70b and 5 IF and i get 2 hit from that damn rus bow
