Please look into the risk v reward factor of AV grenades. These things are way too powerful for the versatility of not having to use a primary weapon slot. |

Well aren't you so lucky? Even the Vehicle players feel this weapon is pathetic, so if you're alright with it now, imagine when you get a buff :) |

I don't want it to be buffed. It's perfect as it is. It has a... touch of magic to it to use. Forge Gun is similar in that perspective, in my opinion. The difference between the Potato Gun and Zeus's Squirt Gun is that one has a dropping arc, has a sliiiightly larger blast radius, and isn't as effective against most vehicles. I say "most" because I can still destroy LAVs with it. It can also startle tanks that use shields.
Then again, this is from someone that uses both regularly. I don't think either needs a buff or nerf. |

It also makes use of the aim button, though that's pretty much unused by me when using Zeus's Squirt Gun.
From a Vehicle perspective, a Plasma Cannon doesn't worry me, ever. I mean, I get hit from a Forge Gun, **** I'm in trouble, or swarms, amagad run, AV grenades, movemovemovemovemovedead.
Plasma Cannon? I'm more likely to die from laughter :/ |

The vehicle work was always in 1.5 (other than the collision changes.)

Seriously, dont de-rail this thread.
This thread is about the plasma cannon, not your whine about if something is 1.4 or 1.5. |

I actually think the splash damage is bugged similarly to how the mass driver was bugged before. Or it is just too small.
CCP: Please keep the plasma cannon as a skillshot weapon/group supression weapon. Please do not make it a noob weapon that will be the next FoTM after flaylocks and ARs. |

Pff right. Next thing you know people will cry op once you "fix it" than you're going to make it worst than it is now. Of course this community will troll me for saying this but so far you've turned a OP weapon into a really Up weapon. I'm done spending money on this game. |

What it needs is much better direct damage, less arc, and more flight speed. |

Exactly. No more splash damage. 2x direct dmg approximately. The splash radius should be tested to see if it really is 3.5m. Feels like its not.
Arc feels very strange, almost like it is a logarithmic or inverted exponential curve. Maybe some coefficient has to be changed for it to be more effective at tqking out turrets far away (for example).
Another strange thing is how a merc can throw a grenade faster than the plasma cannon projectile travels. This does not make sense. |

I enjoy the Plasma Cannon how it is currently. I have been playing with it for nearly a month along with the Tactical Assault Rifle and always enjoy using the Plasma Canon. First impressions suck, but sticking with it goes a long way. Why do all weapons have to be ruthless killers in every situation out of the box?
I don't see why it needs to be better, it just works different to other weapons. Usually with Rocket Launcher type weapons, it fires instantly but has a travel time. With the PLC, you have a delay to fire time, as well as flight to target time, so right off the bat it is difficult to grasp. But the more you play with it, the more you adjust and learn to use it properly. You can't just go toe to toe with an enemy, it's more of a hit and run weapon, so playing tactically is more rewarding. And is a lot of fun killing a heavy with it, really satisfying.
Doesn't need to be a tank killer either. Why have another powerful AV weapon in a light slot? It currently can kill a LAV without too much trouble, it tickles tanks, but I use it more of a deterrent than a tank killer. Tanks often run after a few shots at them, combine it with a proper anti tank weapon in the squad and you can quite quickly bring a tank down.
I wouldn't mind knowing if the splash damage is a bit bugged, or just me. Sometimes it appears I have hit close enough and the enemy doesn't get a scratch on them, but aside from that, I like it the way it is. |
