Due to the penetration it would still damage vehicles no issue but at 350 damage it would only be a fraction of what it is. It would keep the usability vs infantry and the detonate on impact would actually make it a bit better... AKA shifts the focus more to anti infantry than anti vehicle... Currently it does the same damage as the zzap cannon with 5 shots to take out a rhino from behind which makes the zzap kinda useless in comparison... Making it a more anti infantry focused weapon would make the zzap more desirable but also still allow the kannon to at least damage vehicles... 350 damage at the much faster rate of fire would allow it to be used with around 40% effect it currently has. As it stands it stomps all over zzaps toes to the point it's not really worth taking the zzap over the kannon....
Yeah, I see a bunch of people talking about holding the charge but I've not been able to replicate that. Don't know if it can be done on the regular Plasma Gun but not the Cannon, perhaps?
It must have been a very long time. The plasma cannon now only has 1 charge phase now which is 2 seconds flat and you can instantly start charging a 2nd shot so you can get off 2 shots in the time it takes to fire 1 single kannon shot and reload. The cooldown period is 2 seconds but getting off 2 back to back shots is insane. Also the splash area of the plasma cannon is around double that of the kannon... people whine that the aoe is huge for the kannon but actually it's actually kinda small compared to other weapons that are similar.
This 100%. Though the PC is now a bit broken and was a tad bit overnerfed. Actually I think the PC being broken in addition to nerfs is why it's still kinda crappy. Fix the broken aspects of the slow traveling plasma blobs will make the PC more useful again while not making it horribly OP like it used to be. The Kannon needs to be changed vs infantry while retaining lethality vs vehicles. I dont want to see the same fate the PC has suffered for the Kannon.
I'm ok with the Kannon demolishing infantry in one shot. It's a big shell, they're orks, it's top dakka, that seems ok to me. If a Kannon shot didn't kill most people in one hit it'd be too wussy to use over a ZAP gun. It's just there are too many other facets of it which make the Kannon too effective as a OHK weapon. Namely the fact no one knows you're shooting it until after your target is dead.
Oh yeah that's totally not connected to fact that orks got best ranged weapons and most health in the game. That's cause you are so "skilled".
best range weapons... stalker, HB, AC, Plasmacannon yeah sure, most of our weapons spread over 10m, so you barely hit anything. Most health? Yep and the biggest hitboxes. Thats the reason why eldar are glasscannons but very small. <- totally not connected right
That's why I wrote "skilled". You are free to think w/e you want but this not gonna change facts or make you good player.
