Huge Plasma Accelerator

Finally made the switch from C4 gimballed cannon to C4 Plasma Accelerator, all I can say is the difference in damage is massive. Didn't think it would be that big of a jump. Swapped my old loadout from C4 G cannon, x2 C2 G beams, x2 C2 G cannons to x4 C2 G pulse lasers and C4 PA. Spent literally the same time as I normally do in a CZ and made pretty much double what I normally make. Just over 1m in 35 minutes. Usually I make around 500-600k in that time. My ferdy is a little wrecking ball now, as it should be. I would have made more in less time, but I am still practising lining up the shots with the PA, figured I would have the trigger as secondary fire and C button as primary on my Saitek X52, as lining up the PA shot and using C button isn't practical for me. But I just realised I dont need to swap the control config, just swap it in fire groups lol

Useful weapon, the Huge Plasma Accelerator. If you target a sub component, and then get in close enough, there is a tiny amount of gimball movement to help, but you do have to be very close for it to happen.
 
I only use it on Asp size ships and above and only then when in 1 km or so range. Anything smaller gets ripped apart by the 4 pulse lasers.
 
You know what's better than huge plasma accelerator? TWO huge plasma accelerators! Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
 
It should be noted in my experiences that the Fixed Huge Cannon does significantly more damage than the gimballed one. PA does win overall though.
