I do find it hilarious that a lock on weapon that is really difficult to miss with massively outDPSes a weapon which takes a good deal of skill to aim and is very difficult to use at a quarter of the max range of said lock on weapon.
Sometimes, one just has an overwhelming urge to throw a potato at someone.

The Plasma Cannon Charge time is 0.45 Seconds and 2.2 seconds on the reload...... on a Commando. You should be throwing out PLC rounds every 2.65 seconds if I am not mistaken.
If you have max skills and a proto commando, yes. If you apply that to swarms the gap widens just as happily though, so unless you want to compare maxed out items to base items and draw false conclusions from that it's sort of a pointless exercise.

No they shouldnt. Reason is that PC hits infantry too while Swarms dont. This gives PC an innate advatage in usefulness over Swarms.
Of course, i wouldnt mind the PC getting buffed at all, just saying why the above statement is incorrect.
Wouldnt mind getting dumb fire for swarms either.
The plasma cannon is far, far, far more difficult to use than swarm launchers. Swarm launchers are probably the easiest weapon in the game to use - the plasma cannon is at the opposite end of the spectrum entirely. The advantage of being usable against infantry (although it's certainly not a prime anti-infantry weapon) is very much justified even if the plasma cannon were to be able to compete with swarms on raw DPS because the applied DPS is likely to be vastly lower.

If you buff direct damage on the placon, it only really buffs its AV ability and not its anti-infantry ability, bar cracking the occasional very tough sentinel, but honestly that's nothing to worry about.
