I am thinking about using 4 gimbaled MC and the huge plasma. Has anyone tried this for bounty hunting pve? I am getting tires of all pulses. I am currently using 4 med gimbaled pulse and a large gimbaled pulse on the underbelly.
Ships Anyone tried this?

I haven't tried it but the only thing i can think is that in this circumstance you're "wasting" the huge slot on a large weapon.
Have you tried something like... Huge Cannon, 2 med Pulse and 2 med MC's? The pulses can be on one fire group, and then when shields drop you can switch to a 2nd fire group that has e.g. Mc's on primary and Cannon on secondary. Alternatively you could use a Plasma accelerator since its the single highest damage weapon you've got out there BUT of course its fixed not gimballed.... (and a HELL of a lot more expensive!)
Saying that, I don't think you'd struggle with the above set up. My vulture had no issue stripping shields off Anacondas in CZ's on my vulture and i was running 1 Pulse 1 Cannon set ups. Saying that If you have a good enough power distributor i think you'd be able to strip those shields just as easily with 2 constantly firing med pulses.

Yeah. It's a fairly common loadout for those that can get good aiming with the huge Plasma accelerator. It's easier on NPCS. With some practice it'll rip through large ships. Against smaller ships, you'll have to rely on the 4 multi-cannons mostly. It'll be hard to shoot down anything small that has chaff with the HPA/4GMC loadout.
Personally I'm not sold on the Huge cannon/PA myself, but that loadout you have in mind DOES work.
