Hello!
The plasma cannon today is not a unique weapon. It has features from both the forge gun and mass driver, but it is worse than both of these in every aspect. I am wondering if someone is working or this, or is this issue of low priority to fix?
If it is not a priority, the weapon might as well be removed, skill points returned for those who speced into it, and the weapon revamped from scratch. It does not have a unique role currently.
Best regards,

CCP said they will fix scouts. They also said plasma cannon scaling is working as intended. I say its broken and has to be tweaked. |

I hope not.
But it has to be tweaked to have a clear role in the game. I have been using it in every game since the optional respec. Usually get more kills with my locus grenades. Have only managed to kill one or two tanks since I speced into it. If
I had a proto swarm launcher, all tanks would have been dead.

Why you will use the Plasma Cannon with the Caldari suit ? I have the impression that the Plasma Cannon was design to work as a secondary weapon for the Commando, its just not working very well right now... |

Yes and no.
As it stands now the Plasma Cannon is a lower priority weapon that can well.... "safely" lament in anguish a bit longer more. Its general perceived uselessness is not going to make the masses quit in droves. What the PCan brings to the field versus what other items are causing havoc in the field the development team would rather address older and more pressing issues first that are causing the most complaints. There may be an opportunity to squeeze something in but CCP Remnant, CCP Wolfman and their team is only so many people and they're getting tasked with non-item related jobs as well (Controls and Bonus system.)
At least with the faster development cycle there will be an opportunity to revisit the PCan real soon again hopefully. |

I wa using caldari assault since it had a reload bonus to hybrid weapons. This bonus increasd the DPS of the plasma cannon greatly since it only has one round in the magazine.

Right now it is more like having grenades. It is not a anti vehicle weapon.
It is however a fun secondary weapon, if you main a SMG.

The Plasma Cannon works.. is just very "situational", and hard to excuse a light weapon slot for it. If the splash area was a bit wider it will make a perfect tactical weapon for the Commando, "Area Suppression" type of weapon. |

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. |

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.

I actually think the splash damage is bugged similarly to how the mass driver was bugged before. Or it is just too small.

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. |

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. |

dude you r wrong the plasma cannon is suposed to ba a light infantry weapon that has AV and anti infantry capabilities i think thst it is a quite well balanced weapon because it takes a degree of skill to use and it is fairly devastating when you get a hit with it and if you are haveing such a problem with it its probly because you ar a n00b

Yes, dont touch his forge. It is not OP at all. Maybe he'd like a buff to facilitate easy killing a bit more. |

I have been playing with the plasma cannon since uprising was released.
The weapon can barely scratch a LLAV if it hits (IF it hits this fast going vehicle with its slow projectile). Even the most skilled players could not hit a LLAV going at medium-full speed.

Just technically speaking, it needs two big fixes. First, the collision detection on the plasma projectile is glitched on a number of surfaces (Walls, ceilings, barriers, dropsuits, etc). Second, the dud first shot with the pseudo reload is fairly regularly problematic.
I personally hope it isn't "Scaling as intended.". :/ |

The scaling of splash damage is OK. Not overpowered I think at least.
The scaling of the direct damage however is quite poor. |

I like your direct damage scaling, and agree with you on the numbers when it comes to splash; but something isn't working right in practice. Could be issues similar to those that plagued the MD not long ago. I think these technical issues are really what's holding the weapon back. |

I also think the reticule for the plasma cannon has to be changed if the trajectory is kept as is. It does not make sense to have such a "short" vertical reticule on a mortar-like trajectory.
Something like this would make sense. |

The plasma cannon today is not a unique weapon. It has features from both the forge gun and mass driver, but it is worse than both of these in every aspect. I am wondering if someone is working or this, or is this issue of low priority to fix?
If it is not a priority, the weapon might as well be removed, skill points returned for those who speced into it, and the weapon revamped from scratch. It does not have a unique role currently.
Best regards,
Spectral
hmmm, Plasma Cannon, name sorta rings a bell a bit...
I know! I think I died once and the name came up on the kill feed, I was like - what the f....  |
