I wouldn't really call this a buff for Vulcan. The turret turns so slow you can't do any quick maneuvers with it if you're driving around or someone's dancing around you. It'll be even harder to capture flags with it now. I would say put the turret turning speed back like it was. To compensate, put the time-until-burn back as well. Vulcan was never supposed to be used with light hulls. Remember when it first came out? The recoil made it impossible to use with Wasp. I've always loved Vulcan, and I love Wasp too, but Vulcan has always been too much gun for Wasp, and I've always been fine with that. I agree with the longer spinup time... the way it used to be. That's a proper nerf.

I hope you are guys right, I'll keep my fingers crossed for the return of Madness. It's a shame that cheaters could have such an effect on the game.

Just my little way of protesting the criminal destruction of this amazing map. What I don't see the point of is taking it away, and replacing it with a map that no one ever plays. Clearly, that was a huge mistake. I don't mind if you guys delete my post, but you can't delete my passion for Madness.

I haven't been playing this account (my vulcan account) much, but if I had to guess I would say maybe it happens once per two hours of play. I don't think it's ever happened twice in the same battle.

It just needs a good name. How about, umm... Madness. Yeah. I like that.

Vulcan just spontaneously overheats sometimes. Usually happens in first fifteen seconds of a battle. Tank just turns red, even if I haven't fired a shot yet. Damage bar goes down.

Because the old system wasn't working fine any more. I was logging in to find maybe, if I was lucky, five battles to choose from, two of them are parkour, one is Polygon CP and the rest only have one or two players. No thanks. And Russian players and I have used Google to translate conversations between us, it's not great but it can facilitate communication. So why not build it into the game so we don't have to go back and forth between the game and Google? It shouldn't be a complex solution, it should be easy to implement.

I totally agree that it is now frustrating because so few players can chat in English. But what I hate to see is someone in chat telling a Russian "speak english". It's rude and selfish to me. This game was created by Russians, we're lucky we're allowed to chat in English at all, in fact we're lucky to even be playing the game. But the lack of chatting is a bummer. Perhaps Tanki could license some translation software or service from Google, Microsoft, or someone. Not sure if the technology is up to the task yet but it may be. Of course, game chat tends to be full of slang and bad spelling and grammar which would make translation difficult, but if the translation were handled by learning AI, it might get pretty good at it. And half the stuff said in chat doesn't make much sense anyway, so how much worse could the translation be? Now please bring back Madness.

I would buy at least three of those 1500 supply kits this weekend if Madness were still available. Also I would buy probably two hundred dollars worth of crystals because two of my accounts badly need new gear. But until Madness returns, I'm not giving you another dime.

Sorry I am posting too much, but I have to respond to these... Yes. Please. Dear god. I would give anything for this.

Last year I remember Tanki had a survey asking "would you like to be able to customize your tank more?" If I'd known how perverted Tanki's idea of customization is, I never would have answered "yes".

Yes, uniqueness has certainly gone down across the board. At this rate, I can only be worried about future updates...

I won't hold sounding reasonable against you. :) Yeah the change here is so dramatic, I'm not sure even the most skilled Vulcan player would be able to make up for it. I would suspect in a month or two Vulcan will get a buff of some kind. I hear you about the sale, if I were you I would probably still go for it. :)

Agree, rocking the tank to get the vertical is great for Rail, useless for Vulcan. I hadn't had a chance to experience the issues with instability (I just logged in, saw the death spin was gone, logged out), but just played now to see. Definitely makes Vulcan harder to use, I didn't realize how much I was taking for granted before. But maybe it's a good thing, maybe we can overcome that difficulty by developing skill in that area.

Yes. I forgot to mention the vertical auto-aim, I totally agree with you, they shouldn't have messed with it.
