AOE weapons (including Plasma Cannon) have no aim assist. Adding aim assist to them would be ridiculous.

And I've seen more vehicle kills than infantry kills with them so far (Caldari LAVs mostly, but a Gunnlogi and a Sica as well - the Sica was soloed, Gunnlogi was helped by a couple of Flux Grenades).

I've also seen a very impressive skillshot take out a Scout suit.

Pretty sure they're good after the projectile speed buff.

Now we talking single handily,or with teamwork? I can understand teamwork,but taking it out alone would mean it was either poorly module,or saw the opportunity.

If there is a speed buff,I have yet to notice anything truly significant.

The Sica was killed because it was caught in a bad position with its actives on cooldown.

The Gunnlogi, as mentioned, took 2 Flux Grenades as well as Plsma Cannon fire. Those were thrown by an AR guy, I don't know what - if any - grenades the Plasma guy had, because he never threw one. The tank was boxed in - but not damaged - by Swarm Launchers. It moved into a position where they couldn't hit, but they were blocking the only viable escape route, so while they didn't actually hurt it, they contributed to the Plasma Cannon player's kill.

That said, they said that the Flaylock, MD, FG, and PC were not getting Aim Assist, nor so the Swarm launchers... but that last one is kinda self explanatory... I use the advance version,can only take out the smaller lavs and very low module tanks.Anything else it can hardly make a scratch on when it comes to it. Do admit it can take out installations nicely,after half your ammo is used.

Fair enough in some ways. And yes I get it,no aim assist on the plasma cannon,was just curious GAWD. The only thing I would just ask for that's minor,is a slight burning effect on vehicles or infantry. Quoting:"SLIGHT" Everything else does not need to be change,heck even the splash can be agreeable in some ways.
