CCP !!!
For months now I have specialized with a Plasma Cannon
It is a tough class as you are caught out reloading or out of ammo a lot of the time,
but it deals an overwhelming amount of damage, I find it justifies being so powerful due to the risk of using it
I can take out any class in the game with my PLC and to be fair they can get me when I mess up

but anyway on to my point ............

Over the last while there have been several calls to increase it's capability,
DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It needs a Breach Variant and an Officers Variant, along with bug fixes

If you alter my beloved Plasma Cannon , I will find you and I will hurt you

I once fought a Matari FW against my arch enemies, where I met a Gallente Sex-Slave
We hooked up, I took her back to my Merc Quarters and spent 48 hours making sweet love

2 years later she arrived at my Pad telling me I had fathered this abomination on her and she
could no longer handle it's obscene power and the way it inherited frontline instincts from me,

So I became a full-time father to my lovechild Plasma Cannon

CCP if you try to take my child from me, I will declare war upon you

Keep one round clip and reload speed as is. Then players would maybe start using it in a competitive environment such as planetary conquest. Trolling pub matches with this weapon only proves that the weapon is good vs noobs. Many other games do have balanced RPG weapons. Dust has the worst RPG in any game made. Period.

Galthur CrimeWave Syndicate 165	Posted - 2013.12.04 18:03:00 - [33] - Quote It's currently PERFECT against infantry, but seeing it's a AV weapon also it needs a buff. With low range, drop, and slow projectile speed it you would expect it to have the highest AV damage yet it is the lowest. It's direct damage needs a 50% to 100% buff with either 25% more velocity or decrease in drop. That would not affect infantry engagements much while making it a decent AV in it's intended situation (close range high damage). Level 2 [======== ] Pure Gallente - Preferred Gamemode: PVE
Ivy Zalinto Bobbit's Hangmen 86	Posted - 2013.12.04 18:09:00 - [34] - Quote It could use a slight splash radius increase but other than that I agree. Weapon is fine. Its not meant to be av, it just hits hard enough to be viable against light armor. Dedicated scout. Player bodyguard Pistol supremacy.
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 98	Posted - 2013.12.05 19:32:00 - [35] - Quote You miss the point that the weapon is in no need of fixing, it performs perfectly It will be at a level playing field when AR/SR are brought into line (maybe never) As a suppression/area denial weapon it is ideal and CQC v infantry it's awesome AV is fine as long as you have back-up .......... If you still think it needs buffing then go to those threads and promote it, this thread is against buff also I think an RPG is unnecessary in Dust514

Fizzer94 wrote: How many redline snipers have you killed at 100-200+ m with a Plasma Cannon? I refuse to believe that luck is the main reason I can do that consistently. I won't argue that it isn't a factor, but to write of someone else's skill as just luck, just because you can't do it yourself, is... arrogant. Hitting snipers from 200m is hitting a stationary target. Being able to hit anything else is the direct result of a) incompetence on the part of the target and/or b) a ridiculous amount of luck. Does that mean we have to ignore moving targets? Why should the target be incompetent? If he is looking at at PLC-user maaaaybe, it is funny how many people think they can still shoot you before they get a PLC in the face, I find these the easy kills, then again this can be said about every weapon. Most of the times they shouldn't have seen you firing it. Flank them, hit them from the side (lead your target, drop the 'luck'). Corner-shots,.... This isn't a lets-stand-in-front-of-eachother-and-do-a-standoff-shootout-game. Mobius Kaethis wrote: Some of you seem to have me confused with someone who is doubting the fun of the plasma cannon. That I am not. A weapon can be fun and suck all at the same time. Maybe you should stop seeing it as just fun and come back here again. Believe me, fix the current existing issues first then see how much more kills a person can get. You don't want to post NERF PLCs threads in the forums because everyone is making a killing with them in the future.
Faunher The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 2	Posted - 2013.12.06 01:28:00 - [39] - Quote The only thing I can ask for for the PLC is a slight speed increase to the shot. It's a tad ridiculous that in the time it takes the projectile to travel 50 meters, you can run up to and melee the target to death.
Mobius Kaethis Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 1078	Posted - 2013.12.06 03:21:00 - [40] - Quote And just how many kills can you pull in a game when running primarily with the plasma cannon RKKR? Can you go 20/5 with it in a battle? You can go 20/5 with every other weapon if you have the skills to do so. This is considered an average game for non-scout players. If plasma cannon players can consistently post this kind of success in a match with their weapon of choice then I will retract all my statments about the PLC sucking. From my experience though I rarely see a cannoneer (yep your cannoneers now) go positive in a match let also post up an average game (see above criteria) from a kills point of view. Sure they may do well if they spam grenades or do a great job with the side arm but not because of the plasma cannon and their skill with it. For that matter how about AV? The plasma cannon is an AV weapon (read the weapon's description) but how often are you able to take down a tank with one? Forge vs PLC which is better against tanks or infantry? I am willing to bend that the plasma cannon is good but only if you can demonstrate it in battle, something I have yet to see done. Fun > Realism

RKKR The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 502	Posted - 2013.12.06 09:40:00 - [41] - Quote I'm a logi, I focus on helping my team out in the first place or holding a spot but my PLC-kills are equal to my AR-kills. Before you make a comeback and say I have nothing to say about #kills because I run logi: I even can manage to come out on top in ambush if I focus on killing, but hey I don't want to be called an assault-logo now, do I? No sidearm, grenade spam is gayyy I only use is at a last resort, who the hell equips a PLC if they are going to grenade spam. Oooh it's funny that PLC can't kill with nades but that you don't count grenade kills in your average game for non-scout players. But sure I can get it when people are just using a weapon for FUN that they can't go positive, then again how many people of negative with their ARs? ** guys, the AR is useless! http://wiki.dust514.info wrote:** The plasma cannon is a single-shot, direct-fire weapon developed for use in urban operations and confined space combat. The dense plasma discharge it generates is highly unstable, decaying rapidly and venting sufficient heat and energy to severely damage targets caught within its critical emission radius. Did the description change, because I see nothing about it being an AV weapon. I've taken down several tanks, but are you saying the PLC has to be overpowered so everybody can complain their HAVs get destroyed by one PLC hit? Taking out a tank is no solo-effort. Maybe you have the join the PLC-channel and hop into a game with them because honestly you are not going to believe anything of what we say while making misinformed assumptions.
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 101	Posted - 2013.12.06 18:54:00 - [42] - Quote I regularly finish with games 20/5 or better but regardless of that the PLC is not intended to top killboard, It should be used to hold back enemy advances and assist teammates open terrain can be a problem, or just having a bad game I will do worse but I have took out some really good players, and contributed vitally to my squads winning games consistently and Mobius Kaethis , I will meet you in game I'll send mail later this evening I will show you how the PLC can play a vital role in any squad

Plasma cannon does not have a unique role which it is best of. - Mass driver better at slaying infantry in confined spaces. - Forge gun better at slaying vehicles at all ranges (including confined spaces).. - Swarm launcher (currently in 1.6) better at slaying vehicles at all ranges (including confined spaces). Btw, when do you find a vehicle in a confined space?? Must be a moron driving it then. KDR > ALL ME > KDR ME > ALL
Mobius Kaethis Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 1091	Posted - 2013.12.07 05:38:00 - [44] - Quote Interesting...I think they did change the description. It used to include something about anti-material in urban operations (or at least I thought it did...) Now my whole world has been called into question. Fun > Realism
Arx Ardashir Imperium Aeternum 271	Posted - 2013.12.07 10:48:00 - [45] - Quote 20/5 is the "average player's" end-of-game score in what game mode? Certainly not Ambush, or else it'd only take 4 of them on a team to win. Unless the other team has a good number of "average players." There must be some poor SOB on the other team going 0/45 for 20/5 to be the "average player's" score.
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 108	Posted - 2013.12.08 11:59:00 - [46] - Quote I'll just leave this post on a friendly note of ... If you still need convincing, mail me in game and I will try put in a few good games
