Interdictor buff idea. It needs it.

Yeah. I think the devs mentioned somewhere that it would be a good rifle to deal with pilots or aircrafts or something. If not for the damage to vehicles being increased, then it would need a velocity buff, because it is really hard to snipe pilots. Especially if considering the firing rate, any other sniper is better at this point for dealing with pilots. 

I thought about the potential for many snipers shooting at say an IFV and them not being able to do much about it, but let's say it did 50 dmg vs an IFV, you would need 20 shots to down it. Realistically, that's most of the ammo a sniper carries, and time-wise, that would take like a minute of constant shooting. If the IFV and gunner (and potentially engineers repairing) can't deal with that, I am not sure they'd survive 1 engineer with 3 well placed rockets. I still do not see it as overpowered in that case, but I can see the that there may be more to it. If the damage drops at distance against heavier things like the IFV, it could find a good balance.

And I was thiniking along the same lines with aircrafts. Honestly, that would make for such good gameplay. 6 shots on the interdictor takes a while, actually, so it's not like you would immediately just down a little bird, so I think it makes for an interesting and balanced option other than the usual sniper rifles.
