I have never been able to get this weapon to rival packed AV 'nades against vehicles, but the description is correct about sticking to urban areas and tight cover. Out in the open your projectile will most likely be spotted quickly, dodged, and fire will be returned long before that reload is finished.
Would heartily agree that the Std version is the only cost effective version in terms of both SP and ISk.
I have also had many collision detection issues with this weapon's projectile, ie disappearing into walls/floors/dropsuits without exploding. Doesn't seem to have recieved the same kind of love MD's have in that sense.
Then again, as is, it's definitely hard mode... Might just stick with the standard version then and work on the skills only
I would push for this approach. Raise your core stats with meaningful passive % increases (Like nearly everyone should if they haven't already), and focus on building a fit that can handle that hefty CPU requirement , and basically work around the Std PC. Maybe it will receive some projectile physics tweaks down the road and become more viable, but this way in case it's always a red headed step child you haven't sunk too much SP into a lark.
TBQH, the weapon is way too fun for me to ever regret skilling into the PC, regardless of whether it ever sees a buff. |

But I wanna ask anyone that has used the plasma cannon for awhile. What role do you mainly use it for? Plasma canon role is to kill moving infantry at long range, your enemy wont even see you and they will die in one hit.You must compensate for projectile drop and lead your target a lot.Dont even bother shooting vehicules or instalations with it,not worth it because you cant one hit kill those.
but you show them your position after you fired and projectile is slow and can be avoided

Yep, they sure do. Occasionally, and in my experience always on the first round of the magazine, the PC will spool up, appear to fire, and not create a plasma projectile at all. This "dud" shot doesn't seem to consume ammo, and doesn't require a reload after firing. |

The funny thing is that people are using it as an AI weapon but it was intended to be a light AV weapon. So the weapon fails miserably in my book. |

Never leave any urban environments you find- it's worthless out in the open. That being said, just use it to suppress for your team, like a giant mass driver. If there are any vehicles, it should be enough just to scare them away.
Aside from the varied suggestions on how to buff the weapon itself, I think it really needs a better sight, like the mass driver. |
