I think 3 is doable but very rock/paper/scissors. There will be dome games you just lose no matter what (yes DE I'm looking at you, but not just you) whilst others are auto wins. In particular the big death stars would all struggle against 3 Knights.

I never tried to make it seem like it is a close combat beast, I would never throw mine into a powerfist. just troops.

It depends on who's holding the power fist!

Maybe it's just my meta, but we are MC heavy so I run 20 man kroot sniper squads. Now I've only gone against 4 wraith knights since I started running my 60 kroot snipers, twice they were singles and one match was a pair of them. I've never seen a knight survive a volley.
Just as a note I burn 3 marker tokens when I fire for BS 6, giving me 16-18 hits. Then 4+ to wound because sniper ammo rules, and rending on top of that.
Don't the kraken rounds have a similar to wound profile? And poison?
Anyway point being if your opponent is ready for MC's, he's going to poop in your cereal. But my kroot are a hard counter to something in my meta.

Yeah Wraithknight have some bad match ups. Kroot, Death marks, Sternguard (the later 2 wounding on 2+), Dark Eldar, Toxin gaunts heck even Gene stealers do well against them. However a lot of that stuff is fairly rare on the Tournament scene. But running tripleknight against builds containing a lot of that stuff will pound you. With Bids coming on Saturday the issue may just get worse (though it looks toxin save have gone up in points so that may not be the case).

I never stated that they would be good against CC troops like nid monsters and DP's, did I?
I Really think that they should be explicitly used against shooting squads or things like tactical squads and such.
