Let's Discuss Vulcan!

Hey, I'm a Tanki player that specialises in Vulcan, and I'm wondering which hull should I upgrade and use:

 

Titan

 

Mammoth

 

Or both

Thanks!

Start with Titan, then switch to Mammoth. Titan is faster and has pretty much the same HP as the Mammoth for some stupid reason (a 4 HP difference), except at M3 in which Mammoth gets better.

There's no reason to get both, since they're quite similar. If you like to move around a little bit, use Titan, since it's noticeably faster. Otherwise, use Mammoth.

It is just a pile of poop! :D

It has too much autoaim and it is for noobs only.

Vulcans great for strafing against Rico, i was M2 hornet M1 Vulc and some Rico was trying to kill my healer and i didn't like that so i actually put myself in the line of fire for my healer so he wouldn't die. I mean one more hit would of finished him. Me and the guy are great friends in the game. I mean honestly I bet he was happy I was shielding him. I don't know a lot of other tankers who try to protect their healers but,,, -actually has a tear in his eye right now as he types this- No one should kill healers. They sacrifice way too much only to be killed. Someone needs to protect these defenseless Isidas! ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR HEALERS, HAVE THEIR BACK AND THEY HAVE YOURS. Maybe soon they will begin to enter your team almost every match you battle in, as my friend does.  A bond exists between healer and healee, and if you can forge it, you gain an invaluable ally.

Nothing to do with lag.

 

With other weapons you would completely be in the safe zone, Railgun as an exception:

same kind of "through-the-corner-shooter" as Vulcan is.

 

With Rail it 's one shot, with Vulcan it keeps coming...

 

And certain smaller obstacles which provide perfect cover for other weapons

are once again completely worthless when being under Vulcan fire.

Dat autoguide just loves em!

Vulcan is just great for noise for the red team.I mean I had my Titan-Vullc combo on and like three other team mates of mine got the exact same thing lol and we were side by side the four of us, The blues were getting pissed and they started to drug, but let me tell you, they never stood a chance against the four of us. And we weren't even drugging! That battle is probably my favorite I was in so far. ;)

The high impact force of vulcan is not in keeping with physics.  To have a high impact force you need to have high mass.  Vulcan fires bullets (admittedly at high speed), but bullets would not have the mass to have the impact they do in tanki.  Perhaps this needs to be addressed. 

Force = mass times acceleration, so tell me this: how come specks of paint in space destroy satelites? Because these things are going 17000 miles an hour over our heads. Perhaps vulcan just accelerates the bullets to a unimaginable speed.

 

 

You can have a low mass, and have a high impact force, you just need insane speed.

For Me and for many

the Vulcan was created this way for cowards. those who without vulcan not manage to kill even half, of those who kill when they use vulcan.

[projectkronos 24]

If the Vulcan is for cowards, then why does it require one to expose themselves to fire for prolonged periods of time? If you ask me Railgun is the coward gun, always hiding.

How much I may dislike Vulcan also: I won 't blame the driver or think that he 's a coward.

He 's just a player who got himself OP power because simply: it 's been made available.

 

Tanki Online is the one should be blamed for allowing this unbalanced turret to destroy

as many battles as it does today. 

It 's not the first turret to do this though: Freeze was once (it 's now soon renamed Cooler I guess)

a true battle destroyer, Rico had a short go at it during the "Ricopocalypse" and too many

Shafts in one battle before the laser scope also meant a battle that just wasn 't worth it anymore.

 

Certainly a M3/M4 Vulcan with heavy hull, a Firebird paint and supply usage is a complete gamechanger.

Not even talking about two of those which translates into: better get the hell out of here!

And you don 't have to be a genius to make a Vulcan a weapon of mass-destruction...

Like Vulcan is the only weapon that has to do this.

All three close range turrets and Twins simply won 't work without exposing themselves.

Same with Vulcan, you have to spin-up and go out of cover to make (many...) kills.

 

Railgun a coward gun because they often hide? It 's again simply how this turret works the best.

And if you are getting fed up with one, just pay it a visit and "thank" it for shooting at you. ;)

The vulcan does not load, since the railgun has to load.

The culprit is the developers.

I like the vulcan, only that she did not need to load is that this bad in the game.

luckily still has many who do not play with Vulcan!

I do not know what they (developers) they had in mind when they created the Vulcan without the need to load

 

strange!!?

[ChingChow 0]

I kinda wanna buy its M1 when I can, but its pretty underpowered when compared to a lot of other turrets.

[lzhang2 0]

It should be called Lightning, ressembling the lightning fast shooting of the gun.

 

I like the infinite ammo, even if you get overheated, a friendly freeze could just unburn you :)

I never knew that, but I have it and it's firing wait time is too long. :o  :(  :mellow: .

Sorry, but I really hate vulcan.

I have been using vulcan for a very long time  and i use it with dictator. In my opinion this combo is great. I have learnt to kill using vulcan even at short range when enemies circle u.

 

Also, since dictator is tall, it could shoot enemies at a height too (try it in sandbox as an example)

Is Vulcan good in Poly CP with Titan
