Interdictor buff idea. It needs it.
As per title. The new sniper feels amazing, and I am willing to bet my life's savings that the vast majority of players that have used it a lot feel like it is missing something. There are too many trade-offs for the hard hitting sweet spot damage. Most decent snipers don't have time to just sit on a hill at the ideal range and stay there the whole time. We try to capture, shoot at pilots, be aggressive, engage in cqb, and because of that we always aim for the head.
Here is what I suggest:
The extreme-range / anti-materiel sniper
Something like:
Interdictor:
- 120–150 m sweet spot
- 1050–1100 m/s velocity
- very high penetration
- meaningful damage against light vehicles
- maybe increased damage against aircraft
- terrible ADS
- terrible fire rate
- 5-round magazine
- no ADS bolt
Then suddenly the weaknesses make sense.
You're trading:
handling + fire rate + magazine + mobility
for:
range + projectile performance + penetration + anti-materiel capability.
That's a real trade.
Thoughts?
