Heavy Cannon projectiles should be "hitscan"

[Frost Spectre]

There's not much use for it now as the projectiles are slow, sure it fills the space for picking out zombies (imps are abit more mobile, leading some shots likely to miss) at close range, but you can do better with Chaingun or Plasmagun when you get them.
Most things I've seen about Heavy Cannon, is that people just use it for the weapon mods only, shooting with it normally is not very high on the list.

You can use it with all the Cannon fodder enemies (zombies,imps, gargoyles) and even some other enemies to leave them in the Glory kill state, as the plasma rifle and chaingun are usually easier to overshoot. But yeah, just for killing the mods and the other weapons are a better idea.

Yeah, i hate it. I'd don't really mind leading shots and all of those type of mechanics but in a game where the demons are constantly prancing from ledge to ledge, it's hard to "lead" your shots especially when they're also slow. I hate the heavy cannon in this game. Feels weak as hell.

I own both doom remakes and the heavy cannon in 2016 feels more powerful due to hitscan bullets, so I wouldn’t mind the change

Nice necro.

Precision bolt is hitscan. That's all you need.

You should not be wasting ammo on primary fire for HC unless you're using Micro Missiles or trying to prime fodder for glory kills.

This applies to both games and the primary fire doesn't matter if it's hitscan or not, because it sucks in both games.

It deals way more damage per shot that 2016’s rifle. The trade off is that it isn’t hitscan.

I feel like we’re spoiled, the gun only works as a glory kill primer in the game’s “meta”, but if you actually pay attention it feels really good, those big fat slow bullets have real impact, they stop fodder in their tracks and punch big chunks of meat out of demons. You just have way better options.

if it were changed to hitscan, enjoy the slayer being even more OP in battlemode
