@TheXclusiveAce Ever wondered how exactly the long range rounds work for the sniper rifles in BF6? Here's a ballistic calculator I made after hours of hand testing. Please feel free to utilize as you see fit-- please just credit me. LMK if any questions docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

Hello sir-- any insight as to what this might mean? @temporyal

Following up on @iEdyy's point: the Interdictor is clearly intended to be BF6’s definitive long-range sniper. It should fully embrace that role with an ultra-low-drag ammo option (<.001), allowing it to surpass even the pre-patch M2010 at extreme range. @T0TALfps @DRUNKKZ3

Hey, @temporyal I appreciate your past responses and don't want to bug you too much, however, are you able to confirm the gravity value for projectiles? Is it 9.8m/s? Does it accelerate (i.e. 9.8m/s^2)?

FYI, the VSSM seems to use different drag coefficients from the other guns in the game. With standard ammo, its projectile lifetime is also 7 seconds instead of the usual 6. This could potentially bode well for the upcoming HTI if it's intended to be "extreme long range" @iEdyy
