You do realize the Plasma Cannon is an anti-vehicle weapon?

If it were to be nefed the anti-vehicle capabilities would be gone, & it'll be like launching farts at a tank...

So "no" to nerf...

I believe that the original poster there is actually being sarcastic; the plasma cannon is notoriously ignored as a particularly situational weapon.

That said PC needs ammo/RoF/projectile speed buff, but then maybe a modest damage nerf.

direct damage increase would make it av weapon.

There are fundamentally too many flaws with the PC as an AV weapon right now; you get an immediately released charge, one, slow, arching shot, then a reload. and that's it. If you hit anything intentionally that isn't a turret installation at any kind of distance I'd hail you as a professional at gun game. The PC really only shines right now as close quarters ambush/scout weapon. You CAN kill people with it that way because it can actually hit players AND vehicles (its primary advantage over the SL) but to hit most vehicles you have to be point-blank; meaning if you've gotten that close to a vehicle you're better off dropping remote explosives anyway; so it'd really need RIDICULOUS direct damage to make up for all those failings and even then it'd be so-so at best.

My fear is that the PC needs some love, but that like every other weapon that gets buffed it'll become a nuisance when it just needs a little bit of this, and a little bit of that.

Also, why isn't the Glorious plasma cannon an Amarr weapon? I don't even.

Weird thing with the sica was that the driver got out and started running as soon as the shields went down- probably wouldn't have blown them up if not for that. I killed the driver anyway since I was running a gal commando. I'm from the weird side of the internet
