Let's Discuss Vulcan!

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

Here is some Wasp Vulcan gameplay I decided to record with a potato. Sorry for the video quality and fluidity, but that shouldn't be too important there (the quality).

 

 

 

 

 

This video also gives insight as to how I play Tanki. My FPS is usually 40-60 but with the recorder, it dipped. 

 

This is one of the good games but others can result in me coming almost last, in the middle of the board, or first place.

 

 

 

I actually watched it from here and it's worse than how it was when I was viewing it on the application. Really sorry.

It was really to show that I got all those kills and hadn't died during the entire battle. I came close to dying twice and had to hide underneath their base (which is also a spawn point for their team). I'm sure I have a Dictator + Vulcan picture with higher score than that. I just have to look deep in all those screenshots I have.

The incendiary Vulcan are making a comeback it seems.

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Completely powerless.

Completely powerless.

 

 

These are the type of moments you just need to breathe and wait to respawn and take some revenge from a distance with the extra range you have. Or if you cannot beat them join them and buy shock freeze in the next sale. :p

Remember when that unlimited supplies pass came out? One description of it says it "was hard to find a player ... without full supplies."

Did someone enable unlimited supplies pass for everyone for the past 6 months?

Anyone who does not try to complete all the Tiers of the Challenges will basically have "unlimited" supplies.  I don't think I could use all of mine even if I made a concerted effort to do so.

Finally got the first M2 I ever purchased upgraded to M3. Took me, like, 2-3 years?

i have m4 vulcan,its op on the right maps where they don't have a lot of hiding spots the dps is insane over 300per sec and right off the bat i've seen 454dps if they arn't using DA but even so it'll eat through them for kill easily.

 

I have the incendiary alt it was op till they nerfed it like x2 still effective but not like standard settings just control your burning and you will maintain full damage. It is a turret for the more experienced players as far as self control and camp/hold base is concerned. for a attacker point vulcan goes best with hornet for its speed and overdrive. 

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

for a attacker point vulcan goes best with hornet for its speed and overdrive. 

I'd say an offensive hull for Vulcan is Dictator. It has good stability when turning for easier tracking of the enemy with your train o0f bullets. Because of its stability, it doesn't slide when turning so the gyroscopic feature is able to be used more efficiently. You'd want to be giving cover fire for your allies that storm the enemy base. You'd even have an Overdrive that gives you supplies and freezes enemies so you can circle them to maximise damage, and giving it to your allies means more opportunities to storm the enemy base.

 

Vulcan has the best "tagging" ability, where if it doesn't get much kills, it can get many assists quickly if your team is wiping the other. Just spray it in the enemies' general direction. All you need is one damage number to be eligible for an assist. Tagging multiple people in a visible group is easy if your spray. Each assist will net you 5% Overdrive charge fi you're using Wasp, Dictator or Mammoth. 

 

Hornet has little HP. And Hornet also has a terrible time keeping balance when a Smoky, Ricochet, Twins, Hammer, Gauss, or Sledgehammer Thunder is shooting it. That's why I prefer to use it with Wasp with Vulcan. Wasp has more stability on the ground so you can move erratically and circle your enemies easily. You can't do that with Hornet because you'll start drifting out of your intended circle's radius quarterway through. What Hornet does have though is having more weight and being able to not be flipped as easily as Wasp. All of this considered, Wasp is better for an attacking Vulcan. Your Hornet's Overdrive isn't going to be utilised properly if you're being shot at while you have it.

Played M4 Vulcan/M4 Dictator/Defender on the Test Server a while back, when TJR was in open testing. Racked in the kills with 2 deaths at the end of the match, so I'll save my crystals and buy Stormbringer kit when I reach Lieutenant General.

I assume you were using a 20/20 Defender Drone? if so, then don't think that you'd be immortal when you buy Stormbringer. At 0/20 and a little bit up, the increase in survivability is slightly noticeable, but nothing to bank on.

 

20/20 Defender allows you to take ~20% of enemies' damage. What does that mean? It means you can run through the enemy base with a Hunter or  VIking, go out, and capture while maybe losing 50% of your HP, while you didn't even use a repair kit. 

 

This isn't to dissuade you from buying and using Stormbringer, but your success was mostly from the drone, assuming that it was at 20/20 or close to that. 

 

 

 

Do you think Dictator goes well with Vulcan?

 

[Okami 3,041]

 

I understand that the Test Server is not super accurate when it comes to trying new things because of MUs and Drones.

 

I've heard that the kit is pretty good (I was reading the What To Buy thread when a discussion on M3 kits was going on), so I decided to try it on the Test Server.

 

I also understand that I won't be as strong on the main server, when people are heavily drugging, there are Legends with full M4s, and the battles are much more hectic.

 

I am planning on buying Defender at some point (I'm not looking to buy any drones for a while, I have 1.4k Batteries and I think I should have more before I heavily use drones).

 

I think Vulcan/Dictator is an ok build, it's good for moving around but also camping (I did both in that particular battle I was talking about (Chernobyl TJR).

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

I am planning on buying Defender at some point (I'm not looking to buy any drones for a while, I have 1.4k Batteries and I think I should have more before I heavily use drones).

I have it on this account and use it sometimes when I'm playing Support Nanobots Isida helping my allies attack or playing defensively against constant pushes. It helps me survive a little longer, especially in TJR battles when I need to heal my Juggernaut for as long as possible. I used it with RGC Magnum and Hornet but there wasn't much of an increase in survivability. 

 

The players with a 20/20 Defender drone can only be countered if you have a Booster Drone, Hunter, Wasp, Mammoth or Hornet Overdrive, or by flipping the player if they're using a light hull. If you don't have these things, all you can do is sit back and watch it go into your base, and then out with your flag while only having 30% of its HP removed. 20 seconds is overdoing it. 10 second would have been enough.

As far as I have seen, your Double Armor only gets reinforced for 10 seconds, after that, the Drone comes back again and you have your standard Double Armor.

So I guess the information about the power-up Duration is faulty (?)

Huh? You saw this in the Test Server, right? Perhaps they are testing something about it, but it should be giving 20 seconds of reinforced armour and not 10. The Drone itself has a recharge time of 20 seconds. So when that recharges, it's an indicator that the power-up for your double armour is gone. 

 

And for one of the 20/20 Defender Drone users I encountered, it was more than 10 seconds. Because I had been continuously shooting him for more than 10 seconds and it was still giving the increased armour. 

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

This player's tank looks awesome.

 

 

Healed him for a while but his killstreak ended when both our supplies were on cooldown and a Gauss was shooti ng at us from the left side.

Now he'll be going around in his PR Vulcan as well.
