Ouch. As powerful as these things are, they will really, and I mean REALLY, slow down whatever vehicles decide to mount them. However, as base defenses, they're more attractive, since it's not like base defenses can move around anyways.

I wish these things had a longer range because whenever I build one it ends up blowing it's self to pieces every time it fires

It's not range that's the problem - these things have a decent long range, actually, it's the fact that like all straight firing weapons in Warzone 2100 , if it's target is higher than it is, the projectile will most likely hit the hill, causing it to detonate, killing the tank.
And ironically, using tracks and the Python heavy body is the fastest with this turret, unless you use a hovercraft Dragon body... Then you'll have a perfect, super expensive vehicle...

This is beautiful for thinning out Cyborg concentrations. I always include one on a hover mount with my strike groups for this purpose.

I try to have the Plasma Cannon as fast as possible in multiplayers games, because so I can easily hit all the "little" tanks and cyborgs, take the oil emplacements and defend them. It's sure that research the Inferno, the High Velocity Cannon and the Specialised Synaptic Link MK3 is very difficult at the beginning, because you have to spend a lot for that instead of building tanks, but this way you gain a very strong advantage and you can win much easly !

the only bad thing of this turret is the low HP
