Plasma Cannon is most evidently plagued with the same problems it has always had:
- False Shots
- Hit Detection
- Slow projectile travel (a tank can literally outrun your shot)
Adjustment to Damage was nice but unnecessary - it was good to have tiers scale up in a meaningful way but does not address core deficiencies.
So here is my questions: why would you guys not fix PLC? There are plently of ppl who still use it because it is a unique weapon and fun to use; but it's downright depressing to be penalized for pursuing diversity and not playing 'Automatic Rifle 514' that everyone else is playing.
As a matter of suggestion - it would be very easy to increase the velocity of projective travel 2 x without making the weapon OP. And if you guys were to make more serious efforts, ideally try to fix problmes with dud/false shots and hit detection.
Please, if you could, comment on this matter. Thanks!
PLC, NK, Scout - before 1.8.
That's right, I stack that OP Sh!t.

Direct shots can hit infantry, this already makes it more useful than the Swarm Launcher.
Making splash damage a focus is a terrible, terrible idea.
I get upwards of 20 kills in a match using the PLC vs Infantry. Those kills are from Minmatar Scouts or direct hits. It's a skill based weapon.
I just hope the PLC gets a higher fall rate when the speed gets increased.
OK cool... except it never can kill a tank. and both D's and lavs are 3 x the velocity of plc shot

I am not saying it's impossible to use - it's just worse than every primary weapon in the game and most secondaries.
