I've seen people fire this thing at me from range. And after I step out of the way, I cant help but admire how beautiful the projectile is. It makes me wonder if the plasma cannon was made at a Gallente entertainment factory instead of a weapons factory.

If I recall correctly, the plasma cannon is an AV weapon meant for close range targets in urban environments. But I've never used it so what do I know. meh.

The PC is fun and difficult to use. I carry one as a fun DPS weapon. They work well in HAVs and LAVs if you can land a direct hit. Two PC rounds and a couple of av grenades will heavily damage or pop a HAV.

They work great on installations because they are not moving and trajectories can be worked out easily and deal good damage at good range. I carry an advanced with double complex damage mods and it is fun.

OSK to heavies and they work great on infantry. Just watch a door and wait. The area denial aspects are pretty good. With high ground the only problem is the speed of the projectile and the path it follows. The speed is way too slow and the arc that it takes is very difficult to work with. It seems to fly straight for a certain distance and the drop off sharply. The PC would perform better if the shot traveled twice as fast and moved straight or in a predicable arc like the MD.

I don't understand why are you using this weapon with a logistics suit. One missed shot and you're dead unless you spam contact grenades. But lol why even use this weapon when you have core flaylock.

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.

Nahhhh increase the clip size to three and BOOM a feasible gun is born. 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......

The best thing about the plasma cannon is that it instantly gibs any clone so no revives.

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 an 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.

Its not even good at killing LAV's..... it three shots onikumas. at the standard level. Last i checked, AV nades two shot onikumas.....
