Let's Discuss Vulcan!

[dardayy 493]

I wonder if MUing vulcan to 60 damage would bring a signifnicant difference, now mine is 55.2 damage but still is not good at all ..

[Amagi 1,728]

Does anyone have experience with M2 and M3 Vulcan? Right now I'm doing okay with M1 Vulcan and M1 Viking and I wanted to know if Vulcan is really good at higher ranks. I just hope they don't reduce it's power anymore. I think that the last nerf went too far, especially the overheat damage and reduction of long-range damage, the whole point of Vulcan was to be a long-range gun that could compete with shaft, thunder and railgun. I think that the minimum long-range damage should be raised back up to 50%, 25% is too low. Shaft, rail and thunder all do heavy damage at long range so why did they have to reduce Vulcan's long-range damage so much? The impact force is also pretty weak.

I have bought M2 Vulcan and M2 Dictator in my alt during the sales. You have to MU the damage a bit before you can start feeling any difference, but the fact that you can shoot for 1 second longer without overheating is awesome. Turning speed and impace force also gets a significant boost, but needs some MUs when facing later ranks. Edited June 10, 2015 by Stinger911

I really want to get Vulcan; I hope a kit other than Ejgkhandjsamki will come up

The kit that nobody can remember the name of. (Myself included  :wacko:)

 

Maybe the Hunter/Vulcan kit will return in different modification.

 I'd like to see some Viking/Vulcan kits, it's my favorite combo, would like to save some crystals when I get to the higher ranks.

I'd love that, I'm planning to already get both Hunter and Vulcan M3 when I get to Field Marshal..

It'd be cool, but people would start rioting if ANOTHER Viking kit came out. We were just breached with three in a row not too long ago...

I am starting to hate this weapon. It's shooting through walls lol!

[Shedinja 1,488]

It's kinda depressing to think that if I want to buy M2 Vulcan, I have to buy Loam, too. ._.

No you don't. Vulcans can take out most hulls in one charge before heating up. It's the heavier ones you need the paint for really. And DO NOT use Vulcan like Twins; do not fire indefinately unless there is a Freeze and/or Isida on your team. If there isn't, and you need to take out multiple enemies, then you need the paint as well. I personally would go for a better paint than Loam; like Inferno, Taiga, Zeus or Lumberjack.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Zeus and Lumberjack are only available at Generalissimo.

NO LOAM PLS

Loam is quite lame with only the fire prots being noticable :/

Buy Inferno :p

[deadmanrising 715]

This thing is powerful again at m3, especially in polygon

I tried the vulcan/hunter m4 combo, it wasn't good as using smoky with hunter or rail or isida or rico .. vulcan proved to be good with only titan, mammoth, and some medium or big maps with dictator and viking as it needs some stability and good armor because of its delayed initiation

Not me. :P

It's called Eyjaffjalajokull. B)

I think it's called Efjajokull kit. Not sure though :l. How about we call it the Elephant  kit? It 's biog like an Elephant, and the word resembles Elephant.

I'd rather call it the ejkadsjidsfnjsdf kit (aka gibberish kit) :P

Lol

[uqusas 2]

First time Vulcan became available in test server :D  :D  Vulcan is very very fun to use and oh so powerful :o  :wub:

 

 when i first saw vulcan i did parkour match note: don't do parkour match with it because it became useless but i agree with you since i tried it in my hello_im_bob account :excl:

[Chameleos 157]

Buy Inferno :P

buying and muing Muing loam to 50% fire is less expensive than buying zeus,same with inferno, more expensive to 50% than loam.

 Lately I'm usually the only one using Vulcan in most battles. The developers will have to tweak the stats a little bit if they want people to start using it again. I would suggest an increase to long range damage, turret rotation and impact force, impact force is so weak you can't even right your tank when you fall on your side. Lowering the overheat damage a bit would make sense too. Vulcan is good but the last rebalance nearly killed it's popularity, even hammer is more popular now and not many people use it. M2 stats are pretty unimpressive when you consider the late unlock for M3, especially with so many paints that give high protection against Vulcan.

Yes even Hammer unlocks earlier, but now is turning quiet popular specially when u speed up its reload and damage .. Vulcan nearly RIP. some may argue that yet its a strong gun, but don't forget that still not so many people are having the anti vulcan paint, once more than half people will have it, then its going to be of very unbalanced place anywhere

If they just restored the long range to 50% , it would be the long range weapon it was made to be. They seem to want to keep the long range battle to only shaft and rail, and none of them guys want any competition.

[Germanwarrior2 16]

 Exactly, the wiki clearly says that Vulcan is suited for mid to long range, so reducing the long range damage to 25% was just plain stupid and unfair. Railgun and Shaft do max damage at any range and even Thunder long range damage is 60% so why ruin Vulcan's long range damage just like that, seems pretty arbitrary to me. With all the Vulcan paints at higher ranks, it will make the turret nearly useless unless they restore the long range damage to at least 50% if not more.
