Disagree. It will not impact 1+ AS which is currently a big problem for the army. Bow of Loren, spells etc could help out there but the -3AS arrows look very tempting.
The thing about Witch Elves is there are more pressing targets to shoot (Warlocks, peg Heroes, DR's, Shades) in the DE army. So you can decimate them but then the fast stuff takes the board over. The question is whether WE's can muster the same overall threat.
Yes, this one is a clear win for the -3 AP arrows:
Empire Knights, T3, 1+ AS
S3 AP - 20 hits, 10 wounds, 1.66 unsaved wounds.
S3 AP with +1 to wound - 20 hits, 13.333 wounds, 2.22 unsaved wounds.
S3 AP with Poison - 20 hits - 5 poison, 7.5 wounds, 2.075 unsaved wounds.
S3 -3 AP - 20 hits, 10 wounds, 5 unsaved wounds.
However, this is where I would use Waywatchers instead!
