I was just recently killed by a plc user the big ball of plasma clearly missed me as it flew right by me but far enough to not be in splash damage and much less direct damage range (I was also moving around a fair bit so as not to get hit by snipers) yet I was killed in a scout suit by an advanced ammar suit with an advanced plc from 80 meters away and the damage delt was a bit over one thousand

If it would have been legit I wouldn't be complaining but I've used the plc myself and there's no way this guy could have gotten the kills he got

I saw two others die from the same person although they were behind cover or more then 5 meters away from the explosion

there was a bit of lag which made me suspicious from the vary start so there's that, and leads me to believe that this guy is somehow cheating, I have gotten a kill from over 40 meters away by using a plc but that was because I was aiming at an objective on a skirmish and I got lucky that someone was dumb enough to just be standing there

Dude. Put his name in here or expect people to just dismiss it because the PLC is not seen as OP or even very effective. Just my thoughts. If he is cheating they need more info.

G Felix Terminus Defense Force 616	Posted - 2015.03.03 01:56:00 - [6] - Quote Sounds like lag affecting hit detection. It may have registered as a direct hit on his end and was delayed registering as such on yours, glitching the explosion visual effect. And, as pointed out earlier, it is possible to get PLC kills at tremendous range with a healthy amount of luck. Dust can be frustrating. (Gò»°Gûí°)Gò»n+¦ Gö+GöüGö+)

Racro 01 arifistan ( allotek plasma cannon) unlucky cherry. Bravo is still blue and not being hacked. at the end of match screen your longest kill then ends up being 401m...... awesome. *Elite Gallenten Soldier*

Its hard.

Before the plasma got a projectile speed boost it used to be even more glorious getting ranged kills. I've shot gunners out of dropships and maybe once or twice out of pythons. The plasmas arc is relatively small and it has a range of like 250 meters. Crazy **** can happen. Ridiculous luck or mad skill, either way I assure you it is possible. While slow to anger and occasionally indecisive, they are also capable of harnessing enormous resolve when truly tested.

This is most likely the case. I've noted the same thing described by the OP. I see the shot coming, I appear to avoid it, and BOOM I'm dead with a direct hit. Seems to happen when I'm lagging a bit.
