Plasma cannons also kill infantry, and are better at it then FGs. Should we look for ways to nerf the plasma cannon? Roll

If I ever see a "nerf plasma cannon" thread I will LOL and forever troll them.

If people want to balance the FGs they would have to balance across the board. For every nerf there would have to be a buff. Nerf the assaults range and you'd have to buff it's splash and splash damage. Afterwards you'd tone the damage down abit on the regular FG. If the Breach is touched in any way,shape, or form you'd have to get rid of those stupid penalties.

The breach is fine it's a purely AV FG.
The assault you could nerf but it'd need a buff to make it an AI weapon as well as AV weapon.
The regular is fine.

Which FGs is the OP complaining about? The PRO lvl or MLT lvl what?

Can't just go nerfing the PRO FGs without ******* the current AV balance.

EhhhH, Plasma Cannons aren't AV, they suck at AV. It's ok to use them at killing infantry. Otherwise it's a completely useless weapon.

Let's say the Assault is the most OP one and it's the one specifically being used for killing infantry.

It's not a dedicated AV weapon, see assault variant which by name alone is a hint . You want to bring the splash down? fine increase the splash damage. After all how does a weapon that deals over 1K DD deal only 200 in splash? If you bring the range down you have to bring the DD up. Why do people keep ASSuming that the all the FGs are the ones killing infantry. If they bothered to look at the kill feed it'd look something like this in terms FG kills -insert PRO assault FG-, Gastun, and sometimes VERY rarely you'll see a MLT FG kill. The assault FG is neigh useless against tanks, high DPS but low overall DMG. The breach is a dedicated AV FG and it completely sucks balls against infantry. That's another problem. Why the hell are all the FGs being grouped together for? It's not like the breach FG kills infantry, and if you died to a BFG you suck and should feel bad.

It's not meant to be going 15/0 at Manus Peak ambush. It's an AV weapon ffs. -XOXO I have to agree. The forge gun is for AV only, just like the Swarm Launcher. Imagine being able to kill infantry with the swarm launcher. SLs could kill infantry in closed beta. From what i hear it was pure hell.

The MD,FG,SL,and PC are all AV weapons. They represent the 4 racial AV variants in the game. The MD is the weakest in the AV department. But it's the best Vs infantry. It also has 3 different variations 1 which is better at AV than the others. FG is the ultimate infantry weapon, needs lvl5 and a heavy suit to actually use. It's GREAT in AV but only decent vs infantry. However it has an assault variant that switches the balance to where it's better against infantry than AV. The breach ver. is used only for AV but can kill infantry. But the splash is so **** no one in their right mind would use the BFG for AV. SL are pure AV enough said. However if your stupid enough to stand in front of swarms before they hit their target. Guess what? IT WILL KILL YOU! The PC is sort of like a mix between the MD and FG. It has a charge up time and has amazing splash range/DMG. However it only has one shot, WTF CCP you on crack?, and it can reach pretty far. There are no variants, another wtf, and hopefully it'll get some because it sucks at AV even though it's an AV weapon.
