While the recent buff to plasma Rifles was needed something still feels off about the Plasma Rifle, especially when comparing it against the other rifles and especially since you do not want to use that rifle in PC matches.
What's the problem with it though? I feel that it wrecks shields and is heavily slowed down when you get into armor, which is the way it should be. Problem is when you compare it to the other rifles they deal high enough damage to where it doesn't really matter which tank they are against since they wreck both shields and armor mercilessly (Scrambler Rifle, Rail Rifle, RR).
Plasma Rifle is literally the only the only rifle I know of that makes you consider how much armor they have to shields.
So what needs to happen? You cannot say that the Plasma Rifle isn't the least desirable frontline rifle in the game because it is. Yes, I do fairly well with it but the fact is I, we, can do so much better using any of the other rifles than the Plasma Rifle (which is why you do not see this rifle in PC much at all)
So, to bring the Plasma Rifle up to Par even though I feel that it's actually exactly where it needs to be...we have two options:
Option 1: Buff Plasma Rifle damage to where it doesn't matter if it's against shields or armor like all other rifles
Option 2: Tweak other rifles to where they completely wreck their intended tank but are slightly slowed down by the opposite tank. [i]The way it should be[/i]
Now begin the waves of people saying the Plasma Rifle is completely fine

one question...have you calculated the DPS for plasma rifles between shield and armor and compare it to the other rifles?

Yeah Cat I'm not sure what it is either but it's just poor compared to the others. Maybe the falloff range is too much.
Maybe it should have more Optimal Range but disappears at a certain point like the Ion Pistol. I'd sacrifice falloff range for more optimal for sure.

When CCP says something is balanced you can ignore that.
It's when the community says its balanced.
