Quote:Plasma Cannons should do more DPS than Swarms.
I am fine with this, and here is why.
1) As a Sentinel I get one-shotted by a direct hit from a plasma cannon, so direct damage is irrelevant to infantry players. A buff to direct damage will not effect infantry.
2) The Plasma Cannon has a slower fire rate, travel time, and has to be aimed as a dumb-fire weapon. The DPS of the Plasma Cannon should be slightly greater than the Swarm Launcher. (Not too much greater though, or it could make Swarms irrelevant.)
Splash damage/radius should be left were it is now though, as adding to the splash too much could make it OP against infantry.
Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

That would make it OP against Infantry.

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 PLC one hits almost every suit, except sentinels. It should one hit sentinels. **** sentinels.
It one hits my Sentinels, but I don't brick tank. I see no issue with it one hitting a brick tanked Sentinel, as the reload time is enough of a balance in a HMG vs Plasma Cannon fight.
It does seem like a fairly good counter to Sentinels, at least from the perspective of a Sentinel who has gotten a fair amount of plasma in the face recently.
I had a funny moment a while back were a Squad mate (medium frame suit) in front of me sidestepped to avoid a ball of Plasma and I got it right in the face. The guy with the Plasma Cannon was not even shooting at me. Talk about a lucky/unlucky shot!
