Let's Discuss Vulcan!

[dfoofnik 341]

I've battled a few M3 Vulcan's now and they do hardly any damage to my Dictator, most of the time I have killed them before they get me. The only time it is a threat is when its on DP, but even and M3 Fire kills you faster.

I think there is a MAJOR problem with Vulcan : the M0 and M1 shots hitting my Viking seemed to be *BUILDING* my health not removing it! I cruised in a Hornet completely around the Monte Carlo battle scene without a lick of damage! There were 3 Vulcans being used and they were like peashooters against a battleship. The railguns were as effective as usual, so it doesn't seem to be a battle glitch.

Well that is unusual, it may be a glitch, it happened to me a few hours back Vulcan was shooting me I suffered no damage. Well those Vulcans shooting you shouldn't of been giving health back, unless it the new long rank Isida.  :lol:

i also saw a vulcan m3 in a Poly CP team and he was doing quite bad .-.

he was in middle,most likely,the players not got used enought to it,but is weird

it seems the most easy to use weapon >_>

it seems that twins in close fight is equal or better than vulcan >_>

vulcan turns so slow

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

and i saw today a wasp vulcan at m3 with afrika -.-

crazy buyer

tanki is selling these stuff like warm bread

I noticed a bug with Vulcan, the Hammer turret seems to be immune to Vulcan shots. The only way to beat a tank with Hammer is to aim for their hull, hope this will be fixed soon.

Vulvan: a mediocre support gun.

 

It doesn't kill things particularly fast. It doesn't have an uber-long range. It's traverse speed is awful. Therefore, it fits quite well into "medium range" guns, as you need time to spot an enemy, charge the gun, and actually deal damage. If you suddenly find yourself face-to-face with an enemy, forget it. Unless you have a heavy hull with drugs, you won't survive long enough to charge up and kill them. Dodging doesn't help, either, as the traverse speed is sickening when firing.

 

So what's great about this gun? Well...it has good gun depression. That's about it.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

is still pretty good

Vulcan is a great threat against twins for CP, especially Polygon CP.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

actually,vulcan is not that strong as i expected

whatever,congratz for rank up xD

[Remaine 4,687]

Invader is enough to make Vulcan feel completely nerfed. To me, Graffiti isn't necessary, given 20% will suffice.

aaa Thanks :) :D

We haven't seen high rank vulcan masters. I don't remember any M2 one

vulcan is not really that damage dealer even if you got 0% vs it

a decent paint vs it and is nerfed quite bad xD

like Afrika will nerf hammer,vulcan,twins and thunder xD

[Real_Uchiha_Sasuke 189]

Lets face it guys twins is better than this

though it builds dmg but it is so easy to hide ...... twins is better 

[r_PHOENlX0 20]

I think the damage needs to be buffed and less delay to start firing. Just saying.

[trombone_ftw 734]

After fighting against a few Vulcans in combat (mostly M1/M0, a few M2 ones here and there), I can say the following:

• It's hilarious to pop back and forth from cover and see Vulcan users struggle to even get a shot off at you. Railguns will have a field day with this. Freezes, Thunders, and Smokies too.
• M2 Vulcan can cut things down pretty quickly at close range. Even my M2 Dictator takes quite a bit of damage from it.
• Damage at range is pretty bad, so it's best used at medium range.
• With the temperature update, overheating is a pretty serious concern now. I've seen several Vulcan users burn out from constant firing.

Regardless, I'm still planning on getting it on the next sale for prolonged combat. Ricochet will run out of ammunition (and has limited range), and M2 Smoky is still pretty far away, so M2 Vulcan is probably the best option for storming bases through the front door. When you're doing that, you definitely want plenty of ammo and lots of damage.

 

Hmph, I'm wondering if I still want M2 Thunder at this point. Thunder does have several advantages over Vulcan (peek-a-boo players will have a harder time, splash damage), but for prolonged combat they basically do the same thing.

Thunder is irreplaceable, just saying...

Thunder is irreplaceable, just saying...

I think he's referring to mid-range pressure, which both are meant to do beautifully

i see vulcan hornets who cant control their own tanks try to shoot at us but ends up getting destroyed

[pahlevoon 9]

railgun-hornet could easily shoot at vulcan-mammoth (twice) and kill it
without letting vulcan to make any damage
but other turrets will have much more problem....especially if an isida is healing the vulcan-mammoth sitting on the flag :|

I just bought Vulcan M2 and can say that it's not good balanced gun. First who disapointed me is such a low damage.. WITHOUT double power u will need to shoot so long for kill something.. Imagine if I stay in a duel with my Vulcan M2/HunterM2/Rustle against IsidaM2/HornetM2 which used shield drug (no paints against Vulcan), I had to shoot him about 7-8 seconds.. Imposible to win if he come closer and start to atack...... thunder or even smoky is much stronger... what can i say... U need to use double damage deal or forget about this weap till it be balanced with normal power... And second bad thing is SO SO SO SLOW START OF SHOOTING... U press space and need to wait few sec for see some bullets... Thats my first impression and opinion.. Maby U like it more :))

But think that guns rank.

The gun is actually very useful; you need to learn to use it right.

vulcan,the machinegun.vulcan are a very good weapon,because it fires much fast.unlimited ammo.firing for a time causes your tank to overheat,destroying it after a few seconds.no recommended hulls for this turret.this turret needs to twist for a few seconds to shoot.while firing,the turret will be at same angle if you move or dont move,but dont worry,using q and e,or other that moves your turret,the turret will move while firing.

[Germanwarrior2 16]

Vulcan is definitely my new favorite gun, it has great range, damage and very fast fire. Can even take out smaller tanks with double armor or invader paint and bigger tanks while only taking a big of overheat damage. Only downsides are the overheat and warm up time before shooting. M0 has very little impact force, but I see it improves a lot at higher ranks. Has anyone tried it at M1, M2 and M3? The stats look great on paper, I'll be upgrading for sure later on. Most people seem to be using it with lighter hulls, but I find it goes best with Viking, can take some hits but has enough speed to move around and take cover under fire. Would love to see some Viking-Vulcan kits for a discount.

omg,i feeled that

when a vulcan was hitting in my turret(hammer) he was doing to me 0 damage o.O

but when he hits hulls,he does damage!!!

interesting bugg ._.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Worst turret for low ranked players.

Noobs can't turn their turrets, can't shoot ANYTHING.

Witnessed first hand.
