Interceptors

Are currently complete garbage.
The Codex states that their Psycannons deal explosive damage as of 2.8.1, but looking back through the changelogs, it seems like the psycannon damage type was changed from Explosive to Anti-Vehicle in 2.8.0, and they haven't been touched since. Can we get clarification on that, and updated codex files for interceptors and purgation?
If that is the case, then currently interceptor psycannons deal 16.3 antivehicle dps. That is terrible dps on a terrible damage type.
To put this in perspective, a 3-man squad of interceptors shooting at an infantry squad is dealing 7.3 dps total.
A 3-man squad of artillery spotters shooting at the same infantry squad would be dealing 18.54 dps total.
Why was this change implemented? Can we please get a better damage type against infantry units?
Their melee weapons aren't any better. Currently they deal less damage than SS squad with nemesis focus, but cost more power to reinforce.
Please give them some love - right now they feel very useless and incredibly overpriced. Even their antivehicle damage is decent at best.
