I don't really see why the plasma cannon doesn't have breach forge gun levels of alpha damage.
The breach forge gun has huge range and perfect accuracy.
As a penalty, you need to remain stationary whilst using it.
The plasma cannon is much, much more difficult to aim with.
It is, however, more mobile.
They have similar refire times and they both have their own set of disadvantages so I don't really see why not.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I understand and we where close to taking this into consideration when writing the proposal but we also have to take into account that the Plasma Cannon is a light weapon, therefore if you notice the Proto Breach Plasma Cannon ends where the basic Breach forge gun begins.
We also have to understand that CCP wants the FG to have the best overall power so we kept it this way
Why does a weapon being 'heavy' mean that it has to be vastly more powerful than its rivals?
Even if the plasma cannon had the same level of damage as the breach forge gun, it would still have a myriad of disadvantages compared to it.

Jesus Christ dude your still going on about this?
There a three downsides to having a breach forge gun, your in a fat suit so your slow, you have to wait 6 seconds to charge it and you can't move while charging.
There are downsides to the plasma cannon.
Your reload time is as long as a skilled breach forge takes to charge.
Your projectile is so painfully slow vehicles can actually actively evade it if you try to shoot them at range.
The projectile has arc, so it's very slow.
The non-hold charge time makes it even more difficult to aim.
Meanwhile, the breach forge gun hits almost instantly and can fire across the map with perfect accuracy.
A weapon being on a heavy suit is not a disadvantage.
