I can't seem to find it but the Developers did -OFFICIALLY- say that the Plasma Cannon was intended to be the Gallente's AV weapon.

Apparently CCP has had more pressing issues to solve for 8 patches.
Such as: - Nerfing the mass driver, and then buffing it back to previous stats. - Adding new weapons, while forgetting to balance PLC and adding new PLC variants.
Drop it like its hat.

From the linked thread:
CCP Logibro wrote:We canGÇÖt see any way to easily improve the Plasma Cannon against vehicles (its intended role) without making it OP against infantry, Game Design will address issues with the Plasma Cannon in the future. Apparently the PLC is supposed to OHKO all infantry dropsuits but the tankiest heavies. Killing the tankiest heavies with one PLC shot would apparently be "OP."

It's fun as hell to use, but it's not viable at all for it's intended role.

Why would you put lvl 5 into the weapon?
It shoots a pretty round, at least the arc is pretty. Past that it is pretty useless.
Decisions have consequences. And sometimes you spend SP on a bad or mediocre weapon.

Agreed w/ the issues. I enjoy the weapon greatly, although for close range combat it's not really ideal. I think of it as an artillery weapon, or a vehicle shield destroyer so my AV nades and remotes or proxies do their intended damage ;). Would be nice if a successful shot on a vehicle kicked off any active modules and reset their cooldown timer.
Give DUST514 some direction.

it needs more splash dammage and radius, it also should hit for 1500 damage at the proto level and get a reload time reduction. the most important thing is the splash and radius, it is highly under powered in thoose areas |

I think the PLC just needs a complete redesign. Save the art assets but the weapon is just so far from good there's no way to just adjust it. It needs to be torn down and rethought from scratch. |

I love my PLC, but I agree that it requires some work to make it useful. At present it's a skill shot annoyance.

CCP should do some numbers on the infantry killed by FGs and PLCs, both 'AV-weapons'. I know one which is accurate as **** . |
