Do you guys want to know the best part about all this?
Even if the Plasma cannon did that much damage...

A maxed out SL on a Minmando with Damage mods would still outDPS a maxed PLC on a Galmando with Damage mods.

This is the extend of the PLC being UP. Its so ridiculously UP, that even buffing its damage by nearly 200% wouldn't make it as good at AV as a swarm launcher.

I'm dead serious.

Not be pissed off because they only getting killed by swarms because swarms are the only viable light AV.

1.)Transportation. That's pretty much the main purpose of a vehicle right there.

But I'm sure you are talking about only HAVs when you say "vehicles"...
In that case,

1.) Infantry Suppression, when used in conjunction with infantry. Their presence should cause non-AV infantry to generally take cover. They currently do this pretty well.
Note: when I say suppression, I don't mean killing. HAVs should be able to kill infantry, but their role should not be to farm them.

2.) AV. Large Turrets would remain the best AV options, even with the proposed PLC changes. So they would still have this.

3.) Installation destruction. Sorta like AV, but only HAVs have sufficient ammo reserves to make a viable role out of this.

*4.) Destruction of map assets. Not Installations. I'd like to see stuff like, walls, gates, explosive containers and doors added to the game. Stuff that only an HAV could destroy quickly. Stuff that would take multiple hits from AV, but an HAV would be much more suited for.

Suppression suggests the ability to take more than a couple of shots
