I would like either a 2 round mag or a damage increase |

"Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy."
The terribleness of the plasma cannon is one of it's greatest attributes.
The incredibly slow reload.
The single bullet clip size.
The fact that it shoots immediately after charging.
The parabolic arc it has when shot long distances.
It is a terrible weapon which I hold closer to my heart than any other.
Every kill I get with a plasma cannon makes me giggle like a little girl.
Every time I'm killed by a plasma cannon I bless the soul who wields it.
Get a squad of plasma cannoners and it's amazing.
I can see how it could be changed to make it better, but should it?
Yes |

This guy knows whats up  Yes there is many ways it could be improved..... Should it??? NO 2 shots in a clip is ********, the PLC is High-powered.... If you add more shots it becomes OP.... It does need to be as effective as pre 1.7 in AV Too all the guys that expect it to be as effective as a MD/FG/AR It isn't and should not be, it performs a different role HTFU and get good

313*1.15*1.18 = 425 roughly for splash with only the first shot. All that needs to be done is hop around until the next shot can be fired and then it's over for just about any medium suit. This would be way too OP for the small amount of skill it takes to hit someone with splash damage and jump.
It would also be ridiculous for AV. I'm in favor of increasing weapon swap speed but nothing with damage or clip size. It's usable in the right circumstances, even as a logi. Something should be changed but if we've learned anything it's that multiple buffs/nerds simultaneously is a bad idea
That's assuming max proficiency, 2 dmg mods, proto cannon, AND hitting in the center of the explosion.
Even with those stats any non explosive gun would kill faster |

But keep in mind guys that this thing can actually be used on both vehicles and infantry. So it should suck a little. However we are all in agreement the sidearm delay needs to go.
My personal opinion, I'd like to have a decent increase to muzzle velocity and decrease to the arc. Or have a variant that is weaker but with these traits.
Just imagine that: "Killed by Assault Plasma Cannon"
Tell me that doesn't sound awesome.
No, it shouldn't suck
That's like saying the forge gun should suck because it's useful against people and vehicles. |

Would you like the fireable Remote Explosive become more useful and overused? It's gotta have weaknesses due to it's raw power on infantry and vehicles alike. (Especially that fitting cost... *shudder*) Remote Explosives are another discussion, though. The Forge Gun at the moment is a great weapon in skilled hands, but like the Submachine Gun IMO, any more improvements and it's horribly OP.
