I decided to get commando gallente at lvl 5 to use the plasma cannon but i found the plasma cannon is not really a realible weapon for AVing. I have proficency 4 and galmando at lvl 5 and i cant kill tanks (gunnlogi or madrugar) or dropships, i can get the first shot but then they run (or they just laugh at me from their Madrugar) or dodge my shots (thats right, tanks dodging plasma shots), im pretty sure the plasma was intended for galmandos so there is no myofribil option for them.
Ive tried a lot of things, predicting Vehiches movement, high places and even running stright to them but nothing seems to help my team on an effective way to deal with vehicles, especially dropships.
Is there a possibility for an increase of projectile speed, a sticking plasma damage effect even homing, i dont know, i just started to use swarms so i can useful on this kind of situations. |

You probably aren't going to solo a decent tank with a PLC and a Galmando. It's just not mobile enough. |

I do agree, they aren't great for av, most important skill to spec in is reload and amo. Using av nades with plc is good. |

I don't use the plc on commandos for av cause there is no grenade. I usually have my allotek on my scout with lai dai packed av grenades. You can solo pretty much every tank other than proto ones cuz the damage is dealt so fast they don't have time to activate hardeners and run away. |

Tough for AV on Galmando, too slow and easy to see coming, prefer it on a scout + AV grenades + remotes/proxies if I can fit them. I use it on commando for bombing crowded spaces and taking out installations.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

If you have an Assault suit with at least 3 high slots and access to Myofibril Stims, it's best you slap your PLC on that. |

This. I usually get assists due to someone using any tier Swarm for the last hit. First hit shields down and you catch the operator off guard. Second hit, he's backing off and he's down to half armor if you're lucky. Third hit will not happen unless A) you have an extreme height advantage and aim, or B) the operator is an idiot. |

I actually find the plasma cannon in a galmando to be a beauty. I can take care of tanks, some bad and some others that seem to be decent and good tankers. Of course, I need to take them by surprise and planned where and how to attack to avoid letting them escape. Also, if they get cocky its pretty easy to take them out.
If you find difficult to use it, practice shooting to the infantry. If you can take them, then you can shoot tanks even when they try to escape.
Also, play in squads to coordinate attacks agains the tanks. If they try to escape when they get one shot from a plasma cannon, they will panick with three shots from different angles. If they survive. |

On high tiers even with strategy my galmando doesnt make a real difference, i think the plasma wasnt made for them so im gonna try a shotgunner galmando n see what happens. |

GKO with 1 light weapon damage mod, 2 spint mods, 1 stamina mod, nano hive, and of course either 1 or 2 plasma cannons. As soon as you fire the first shot you can swap weapons and fire the second. |

Its all worth it when a Saga stops just long enough for you to lob plasma at it and annihilate it. Or, The plc is also fun for one-shotting people. It takes some practice and its not always guaranteed to hit the target though, but it can at least take out some if the target's shields if you're accurate enough.
Seriously though, a commando, regardless of the description or the deceptive name, is not the best assault kind of suit. Think of it more like what it is, a heavy frame with two light weapons. If I'm ever tempted to use a Sentinel with light weapons instead of the typical HMG, i just run Commando instead. Some do well with light weapons on the sentinel, but I prefer the commando. Its just fun, regardless of how slow or clunky it is compared to its assault cousins.

That is one of the dumbest fits I've heard of. Where's your damn reps? You're really trying to tell me you're going to wait >100 seconds for your armor to come back if you're even moderately wounded?
Two complex reps, 1 stamina mod.

Use a nano hive that reps armor and gives ammo, this fit helps you actually stay in the battle instead of lagging behind everything, helps you hunt down running tanks and get to better posistions. Besides, most of the time if you are losing a fight with two plasma cannons, you are going to die and wont need armor repaired anyways. |
