Supernova plasma guns are ultimate killers now.
I have not tried them. Are they good on a recon and ECM?

Haven’t tried them either yet (or even played this patch) but by the numbers you get higher sustained DPS than Shrapnel with them and only little less than non-supernova RFB. And unlike supernova RFB or shrapnel they’re easy to hit on anything and have twice the range. So yeah on paper it’s the best all-purpose weapon for interceptors at the moment.

But for close range dogfighting, Im sure its a pain in the butt to use. As normal plasma guns are hard to use in a dogfight.

Not really. In an ECM you have the supercharger. Same principle with better accuracy for pot shots. Plasmas are better for sustained fire.
For recons is up to you, they are all arounds. I find myself comfortable with pulse lasers.
Concerning covert ops, yeah, supernova plasma guns are awesome, and if you fit them in a Kris A, then they are hilarious. the bonus speed and spread is great, and with fed R2 implant, you can have 4400 m/s speed in a supernova plasma gun. Add orion and laugh out hard.

You have a 550 m/s mosquito with a 4000 m range uber weapon. Why would you dogfight anything?
They have a Good “Poke” and “Hit&Run” potential. (Plasma Guns)
I still prefers the Shrapnel on Recon combined with the “Shield Drain” (Hit&Run Powa), I find the shrapnel pretty good on Covert Ops for doing the “Mosquito” against frigates and harass fighters/ceptors.
Every weapon that can provide you a good range is good for an ECM, you can control the ennemy without commiting to hard. But I still prefer the Kinetic Supercharger on ECM, good dammages, the range is corresponding to the ECM module range ectect.

Coz 4000m arent really that far to fly in a CO :Dwop

Because that is forcing you to strafing, i.e. no adaptives, i.e. paperthin, those are like christmas presents for full charged positrons or Tycheon Disintegrators

And don’t forget Gauss
If plasma gun is uber weapon then why not most of interceptor use it ?
It is actually lowest dps & low RoF interceptor weapon (excluding ecm ks)
low rate of fire on Plasma Gun means RFB fitted inties have an edge on you in close dogfights.

At least in T4 most do.

No. 100% in T1 
oh they have no choice!
T4 is not end tier and T4 PvP mostly empty to my knowledge.

Your knowledge is wrong.
T1 is so imbalanced it’s not even funny. Interceptors outrange everyone, and plasma hits like a truck while they can dodge everything thrown at them.
T4 i see everything. It’s fine.

you have yet to reach Fed T1 tacklers Dzen easily the strongest ship in T1

What happened to LRF one-shotting everything in T1? Did the range nerf affect them that much?

LunxM:
10% passive crit
Target painter
Assault rails
E2 implant with another 10% crit
No resist in the tier (except for implants)
Fast like a xxxx comparing to everything around, superb energy regen
You combine all this offencive stuff together with good aim, everything disappears so damn fast with no cooldowns

Most won’t even have implants. They’re still figuring stuff out. As a result it doesn’t matter much what you fly as an experienced pilot if you want to farm T1. You’d kill them too if you flew an asteroid. 
Absolutely, but it comes down to how many and how fast you can kill. Imho lynx m is da best at it
Hercules Rage / Ghost can rack up massive bodycounts in T1. The main advantage of the Lynx is using the cloak to ambush or disengage from a fight, but there isn’t much that can face a Hercules with purple rails and overdrive active.
