It's hard to hit with. It only has one shot. Has a long reload.

And then does the second least damage of any AV weapon despite having no lock mechanic PLUS slow travel time. Makes ZERO ******* sense.

Make it do double to triple damage (2,750 at std, 3,000 at adv, 3,250 at proto) on direct hit since it already oneshots every suit. Keep splash the same.



Reasons to do this:
1. A billion drawbacks, it needs at least one reward
2. Hard to hit targets at range
3. Gallente is close range and 1,000 damage is enough just to tickle an LAV.
4. Hard to hit targets IN GENERAL unlike draw-a-dot-in-the-center-of-your-screen-have-100%-accuracy Forge Guns
5. Dropships would be near impossible to hit and could survive (barely)
6. HAVs would not die from the burst, they could get out before a second shot is fired
7. Teams of PLCers could dunk people with alpha strike damage FROM ONLY CLOSE RANGE.

8. Why the **** does it make sense that switching from a LONG RANGE forge gun to a CLOSE RANGE PLC make you do lower damage?

Edited to your values, I agree with you.

The description of the Plasma Cannon doesn't say it's an AV weapon, only it's designed for "urban operations and confined space combat." Doesn't that make it more of an AI (Anti Infantry) or general purpose weapon?

But yeah, weapon needs fixing regardless.

Try using it then telling me that it's meant for anti-infantry lol

It does work best as anti-infantry if you actually use it in said confined spaces. Camp a busy doorway with it. Hell of a lot more effective than trying to hit the average vehicle.

Good. It legitimately boggles my mind why an *AV* weapon with such *short range* does such worthless damage to vehicles. This is why Dust turned into World of Tanks. Driving straight up to AV with no infantry support should mean 3 PLCs to the face and a very dead tank.

We canGÇÖt see any way to easily improve the Plasma Cannon against vehicles (its intended role) without making it OP against infantry
