Let's Discuss Vulcan!

Don't like how it heats up you're tank and you BLOW UP!

I know, it took me some time to get used to it, but once you get the hang of it, you'll automatically stop before it overheats unless you have Isida backup, in a do or die situation, or you know you are close to killing an enemy.

[frenchomar 3]

I agree that it's good to have isida around. Good technique!

[frenchomar 3]

But if you have a mammoth m1 or m2 or m3 it will be hard to be destroyed with Vulcan m1 or m2 and possibly even m3?

[Gigalink 116]

I have M3 Mammoth and M3 Vulcan and that combo is ridiculously powerful! Many Isidas like to follow you and you don't even need to ask. It is like driving a huge mobile fortress of death with support vehicles covering your flanks. You're the spearhead! This combo is also the most forgiving since you have a large health pool in the event of an overheat, giving you more time to shoot and get healed. I haven't experimented with lighter hulls much, but it takes more skill since you have to manage the recoil and you can't use peek-a-boo tactics as effectively unlike smoky, thunder, and railgun. Also, you have less health to stay in firing position.

Interesting point

[Amagi 1,728]

Now that I got Red Suit, Vulcan isn't as annoying anymore. 

 

Still can't drive while under fire tho, I wish recoil was also reduced, maybe it'd get worked out in the future Paint update.

.-.

Even if the impact force was nerfed, you're still taking a shower of lead. Are you really sure it's the Vulcan that's the issue?

[frenchomar 3]

In my opinion Vulcan needs beter improvement because if you're attacking some tank with Vulcan and he shoots back, you have to dodge it but you can't because Vulcan does not let you move when firing, it only let's you move in circles.

[TheUpstartRonin 8]

That's a pretty vague statement. "Vulcan needs beter improvement" and "Vulcan does not let you move when firing" aren't very descriptive. I know what you meant by the second statement, and yes, that's kind of annoying. The really effective Vulcan users have learned to deal with this and place themselves in situations where they don't have to worry about return fire ( i.e. behind good cover, or on one end of a long lane where they can fire straight towards a far-away enemy)

Vulcan M2 worth to MU? M3 long way ahead.

Check out my video related to vulcan, for a better review before you buy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWhOuU6B6vs  :)

Not really. I had M2 a while ago and I'm telling you it just sucks. Don't spend thousands on it rather get Twins/Smoky/Fire M2 later on.

Firebird is the bane of Vulcan.  :D With my Firewall Kit tanks with Vulcan are just about my easiest prey.

Tanki created a monster and they don't care. I defy any team to beat two Vulcans with two isidas attached to each. It is hard to do. They have nerfed everything else why not Vulcan? If they would give me back the power they robbed from me that I bought and paid for on my thunder it would be different.

This has pretty much been proven in the Spring Showdown battle. Russian defense on flag: a heavy hulled Vulcan assisted by

two Isida 's...good luck capturing... <_<

Tanki has a tendency to make certain turrets OP for awhile so people will buy, then make a different turret OP so ppl will have to switch.

Does someone use wasp? :3

As you can clearly see from his account, he mainly uses Viking and Mammoth M3 ._.

 

This turret is indeed too OP at M3/M4 stages. The developers should nerf it by increasing its burning damage even further.

[Papaya14 481]

Even with protection paints (30+%) this gun is a nightmare, and not only because of the huge impact at long distances. With groups of 2 or 3 drugged M3 Vulcans it can be hard to do anything at all when you get mowed down in seconds!

[Steerpike 3]

Why is it that any player with a vulcan, any rank, is more powerful than me? Impact force is too great even full length of any map, takes only a few hits to eradicate my full M2 Hornet - this is not balanced, when I play against Vulcan I have to leave because I cannot compete even against the lowest ranks. Really really infuriating to work so hard to get rank up and good gear to be made to look like a new player by any noob with Vulcan.

[Steerpike 3]

Vulcan is not balanced, because it is a new intro developers want us to get it, so they make it the most powerful

[The-Operator219 1,929]

:3 Someone uses Hornet.

[Amagi 1,728]

:3 Someone uses Hornet.

Let's say you use a Mammoth, try moving around with 3  M3 Vulcans shooting your fat butt. Let's see how you do ._.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

The next time you use Vulcan (M1-3), have the camera at a top-down perspective and watch closely to what happens when you fire.

I personally don't like it for the impact force, but I can't speak for those M3 Vulcans.
