I pushed that button a lot this morning!
If lightly tanked, I would strip their shields with smg and blap with the plasma cannon.
If cal-logi, blap shields with plasma cannon, then blap armor with smg.
I was fighting in the orbital artillery outpost on spine crescent, where the stairs lead up to the bridge towards A, smg dueling with a guy there when another guy runs up into my 1v1, I swap to plasma cannon and direct body shot him right back into the spawn que and continue with the smg fight with the other fellow. Finally end up killing him before running back outside. Met alladin and his gang, and popped a few with it, although they thwarted many of my attempts to collect their trophies.
Was fun, fun. |

Was fun, fun. Logis can only have one weapon :o
If the enemy was a cal-logi. I wasn't clear in the post about that. I was running a gallente G-1 series x2 basic shield extenders, 2x basic armor plates, complex repair, adv smg, basic plasma cannon, and some sort of grenade. I had a bout a 3 kdr with it |

Was fun, fun. You lost every time though... Sure you got some kills and killed me earlier but let's not lie and make it sound like you beasted....
Yup, it was a blast. I wish I could que up against the real power-houses more often, I love the challenge and I always like to see their tactics. |

It wasn't very fair. I was using MD (I WIN button) on you. I normally don't use that gun.
MD is a good 1v1 cqc weapon with the current build as it is a hard counter to strafe, bunny hopping combat. Good infantry counters that I've found is putting plenty of obstacles between the md and yourself, dashing past the md user instead of stopping right in front of him, plasma cannon to the feet or face (since the splash is about 4x that of a md), getting higher ground, like behind a hill or up stairs. strafing at about 45-50 meters out, the rounds travel slow enough to easily dodge, and wait for his long reload to empty your favorite hit-scan weapon into him. |

I know, and I use it to break 600+ shield tank calogies. But for people with less tank, I prefer using it for the 'surprise' factor. |

I have gotta say, I was playing with it again tonight and I feel it is a very satisfying weapon. I have almost all weapon at 3 or 4, and two at V, and I think I'm going to spec plasma cannons. The Klo is superb, I'm having a blast with them. I want to see what they can truly do when a fully specced user rolls around with one. |

Day two with the plasma cannon has shown me some of its strengths and many of its weaknesses. I was fighting against nyan san in the orbital artillery outpost on the supply depot side in ambush. They kept keeping them selves mostly behind the short hills, making it impossible to land splash damage on them. They also kept moving, and at mid-cqc range, giving them time to react to my shots due to the slow projectile speed and small splash radius. I finished the match 0/5 after nyan brought in an aur madrugar and held the gate with it to wipe up the remaining clones.
I went into another match and pulled 15/4 with it by sticking close to my squad as they pushed around, managing around 3 body shots on heavies. It was super satisfying that match. Still trying it out and tinkering with the fits I use. |
