IS not all bad... lol. .. well most of it.. but not all. The direct damage is huge, it kills heavies instantly, the shield damage is very useful against pesty tanks, and is an excellent suppression weapon. The biggest problem is the projectile speed, and the splash damage, which is ridiculous compare to the Flaylock pistol..
Actually is more a case of the Flaylock pistol been to OP, and not the Plasma Cannon been to UP.
Fix the projectile velocity, and increase the splash damage a LITTLE BIT, and the Plasma Cannon will be ok. |

The charge time between shots should keep it from being too much like the FP.... idk. The biggest problem with this gun in my opinion is that there are just too many alternatives that do better at what its supposed to do, and then some. 1000 damage? really? At the proto level its barely enough to three shot a SICA...... Proto level forge guns can practically one shot them, (exaggeration they actually 2 shot sicas), as can proto swarm launchers (which do 1800 damage unmodded compared to the 1100 damage of a proto PC). Basically they need either MORE UPFRONT DAMAGE!!!! or..... more dps. The DPS idea is dangerous though, because it could become just like the flaylock pistol......
Honestly, now i got use to it, i'm no doing to badly.. but i using the Plasma Cannon with a commando suit, and having and AR as a secondary weapon helps alot. Drop the shields with the PC and finish off people with the AR, it is literately a "Heavy Killer". My only problem is the PC as an AV, its near useless against vehicles because the projectile velocity is so slow, AKA ( Potato Thrower ). Fix the speed of the projectiles, and the PC will be a completely different weapon. |

Last i checked, AV nades two shot onikumas.....
If the Plasma trajectory was more like a RPG ( Rocket Propelled Grenade ) it will be much easier to hit LAV's.. Right now it feels like one of those T-shirts launchers that you get in football matches, and music festivals... |
