Let's Discuss Vulcan!

[Batmode_ON 60]

HOW THE HELL did that guy in the video got that crystals!!!???!

He bought them?  :ph34r:

 

 

VULCAN IS BORING. IT LOOKS UGLY. IT SHOOTS RUBBISH. THE RANGE AND CONTROLS ARE RUBBISH. THE PARAMETERS ARE EVEN WORSE THAN RICO'S EVEN THOUGH I LOVE RICO. BUT VULCAN I DON'T. IF I HAD THE POWER. I WOULD REMOVE IT FROM THE GARAGE. BECAUSE IT'S ONLY A WASTE OF TIME TO USE IT. A WASTE OF CRYSTALS TO BUY IT. AND A WASTE OF SPACE TO SCROLL IT

Its one of the best at your rank, and is the only reason why i rank up on alts, its quite weak at m2, only does 45 rate of fire, which is why im leaving it for m3 to decide, its a beast of a weapon, your either a hater or you just dont know how to use it

 

 

I can't decide between vulcan m3 and twins m3 someone help :D

I used to play Twins a lot before Vulcan came out. Now, I simply can't play with Twins, because I find the shots too slow.

So, I go for Vulcan.

I like vulcan, but what i have found its to high powered, when used against you, i have graffiti paint, which has the highest protection against vulcan, 50! but even with that it still kills you way to fast, i barely can get 2 shots off with hammer, and bam i'm dead, and if there are 2 or more vulcans in the battle, you don't even stand a chance, i think vulcan needs to be looked at, its way overpowered!

Zeus, Vulcan and Mammoth M3 = damn

airfxfw:I was thinking of calling it gatlin or maxim.

me: Vulcans were extremely fast and were used for long range nuke missions(well for a bit).and Vulcan is a fast firing long range turret so I guess that's why they called it Vulcan. Im happy that tanki appreciates its tankers from Britain.

Hammer is a close range gun, so circle around Vulcan users... no way they'll land much shots on you.

Zeus, Vulcan and Mammoth Titan M3 = damn

[Remaine 4,687]

What I said was correct.

Titan is better overall, but the extra protection will ultimately assist more, in this case.

what's magnum/bulldog?

Magnum is the shotgun/hammer :D

Titan is more manoeuvrable, allowing for more effective close quarters combat.

I love it with my dictator M2/M2 and Loam combo.  I fully upgraded impact power first and it flips just about everything on a ramp.  I go to the map Noise (a lot of ramps) and when playing blue, dominate, no drugging needed.  When it drugs its a killing monster.  I am getting used to fighting freeze and firebird by going next to a wall and limiting their ability to circle around me, also I find going forward and backwards makes up quite a bit for not being able to turn the hull to also get extra rotation while firing.  I have a problem tactically with it.  It is not as subted for sitting on the flag but finding a spot away.  I really like to use it to slow down the enemies advance in the middle of the board, especially when its mostly open with a little structure to let go of the spacebar and duck so I dont overheat.  The real tactical problem is on boards where I am elevated.  I dont seem to be able to play red team on Noise as well with it.  I think I have found a couple of spots now but it just seems to do more when the enemy is above me.  Any suggestions?

It was name after a US Weapon . The GE   M-61 Vulcan cannon, Still in use today. On its way to being used for a 100+years I'll bet. Check this link  you'll see the resemblance immediately.

Hammer is a close range gun, so circle around Vulcan users... no way they'll land much shots on you. 

You first need to get close to be able to circle around them. Try to do that against a Vulcan/Titan or Mammoth standing on top of a ramp let's say in Polygon map, unless you respawn behind him its practically impossible!

But said Mammoth/Titan must crawl up there first, unless by the same stroke of serendipity they spawn up there as well.

This vulcan is the most powerful gun .. look at this video it breaks all the records of no stop shooting and it didn't warm up so much because it was using anti heat paint !

[Strawwitz 86]

I'll tell people Vulcan is a-lot of fun. 

 

With a Heavy Tank and many targets in view, Go DD and hold the hammer down and just keep shooting, till your health is about 1mm and then pop a health while continuing to fire. Total Carnage :)

The vulcen is freaking awsome but i hate that the eneymy haves avdtge by my if you have the vulcan when you press the shoot button so space than the turret neeed too spin around and thats good but it will slow you down when a eneymy storms at you and he can shoot and you need too owait and than shooot by freezers is it realy bad or idf somebodey shoot you 2 times on the back than you think no you gone rotait the turret too bihind the enmey still shooting and than you can shoot you heer the shooting sound when it start shooting than its too late and your dead

[Strawwitz 86]

I'll note something new here.

 

Anti-Vulcan Tactics

 

At close range ? Of course you close range guys already know to circle.      You can also go reverse, after moving forward. Or rock back and forth forward /backward while circling , or laterally to the Vulcan's LOF, changing speed and juking.  Vulcan can't traverse fast,so either way it throws off their aim, but reversing direction will really demoralize them.

 

Getting shot at by a Vulcan at distance ? MOVE! And move laterally to the LOF of the Vulcan,  juke while doing so, change elevation if possible,  at long range a Vulcan has a hard time seeing movements so doing all these messes with them. The whole key is to get out of their immediate LOF and staying out of it for a few seconds. After this you can seek real cover , and the Vulcan will over-heat/stop firing at you.

 

So 2 things , Never stay in A Vulcan's immediate LOF,  and don't move in a perpendicular steady line and speed  where they can track you with  a steady turret swing. 

 

Erratic movements really throw off a Vulcan. Keep them firing AND MISSING ,  they will switch targets and/or they will start over--heating, which leads towards them ceasing fire,  and you a chance to shoot-back and/or find real cover or a covered approach.

 

LOF= Line of Fire

This gun will undergo rebalance later as its too much OP

Now, they are just seducing people to buy it

clearly this gun is the most powerful one, and it created a kind of a total imbalance to the battles .. tried most of the commonly used maps, it dominates in polygon CP, in island, in silence, where else ! and it doesnt heat up much after it finishes its load, specially when people are using anti fire paint

 

Clearly this gun has brought a total mess and chaos to the game play , the game play i did with that video above i did it with vulcan m0 !

It can't be as bad as Ricochet. It just can't.
