The sight on the Plasma Cannon is great... if you are standing I the blast radius when you fire it, other than that this weapopn is freaking useless. (Yes I exaggerated a little for effect there.)

So my idea, is to make the sight so thst when you look through it, it has a moving graduated range scale that goes out to the maximum range of the weapon.

Basically, there will be a floating gauge to the left of the cross hair, the cross hair will have multiple point dots and stadia lines, this floating gague will move up and down in reference to the angle in which you tilt the cannon. You tilt it up at a 45 degree angle, and the gague will show you the maximum range and will fire the round at that angle. This will aloow you to take a moderately long ranged shot and actually hit something, instead of pointing upnsome and guessing with every round you lob.

So much like the sight on the mass driver, it will have graduated range lines and point dots going down the cross hair window, as well as a tilt gauge to tell you just how far that round is going to fly.

Amen to that, the neat thing about them though, if you point one straight up, the round doesn't have a self-destruct like alot of others do. It will continue to fly until it hits something... whether that is the ground or your face depends on you.

It really needs more direct damage by tiers such as base/adv/proto of 1000/1500/2000 and cut the reload in half and it would be much more useful.

You really don't need this floating gauge you speak of just know your shoot is going to drop so aim HIGH first shoot is a test shoot sec shoot is what your shooting at! my only wish with the Plasma Cannon is the reload animation needs to stop getting in the way of your first shoot, may not hurt to add two shoots per shell!
