Let's Discuss Vulcan!

[gokuMI6 1,290]

So Just don't use it till Fire get's a nerf ?

[Guest]

Was planning to buy vulcan, I guess not. :(

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

well if they increased self damage something tells me they're gonna buff some other aspect soon... gonna MU my vulcan module to 40% so I'll be prepard for the day it becomes OP, it'll probably happen very very soon

[thesquarerootof2 165]

Yeah they REALLY need to fix the overheating. They should just drastically decrease the heating rate. 

and/or the max temperature it can reach

[thesquarerootof2 165]

Honestly the max temperature thing should not increase with upgrades. That's just ridiculous. 

[Pyre 3,485]

I woudnt give a fig about the overheat if they just buffed the damage back to what it was, and gave the gyroscope back.

I score very nicely (top-4) w/m4 titan and m3+ vulcan.

It is a unique turret that is fun to use and effective on team battles. I'd buy it again even with the afterburn.

I played Vulcan

I killed every tank

Every tank I tried to use Vulcan with

Well it will take at least 1 month to nerf the fire and buff any other turret

 

How much time did Freeze stayed OP ?

{ it still is OP  :ph34r: }

wait vulcan doesn't have gyroscope anymore?

I don't think even that would compensate for the insane overheating effect.

 

The only way to fix Vulcan is to make firebird most recent buff not affect Vulcan overheating.

Also decrease the spinnig time

It technically still has it, but its no nerfed its unnoticeable.

I would rather have the old damage back. At least you are able to make an impact even if you end up dying. Right now the damage is pathetic. And you can avoid overheating, but that means you do even less damage, which is horrible right now.

Well when I last played it before the whole firebird buff, I was actually doing pretty good, just need mammoth and a ton of supplies, and I managed to be at the top of the scoreboard in a DM. And this was on my LT General account.

 

In fact every time I used that combo, I took one of the top five spots in a DM full of people with m3s and m4s except for a few occasions. I normally take the top 3 spots in team battles, except for a few occasions.

 

And no, I'm not saying that I am that Damn good, because then I'd be lying. I'm saying that it could dominate the battle in the right hands, before firebird most recent buff.

Was the battle Massacre or Kunger? Maybe Barda? Those are the only MMS battles I have found vulcan to be effective on.

EDIT: Also Serpuhov.

I have Vulcan M2, Titan M2 and Fire protection M2 and I still burn up. If I make a kill before burning up, the after burn will take care of what's left of my HP. If I survive the afterburn and my RK is in cool down, I either have to put myself out there to get killed or hide until my RK is ready. I have absolutely no luck at all in DM. My kills are constantly being stolen or Freeze comes up behind me, my quarry leaves and I'm a dead tank.

Vulcan is terrible where targets can get to cover easily - Iran and Industrial Zone come to mind. Never have time for sustained fire.

 

Year 2024 also not great - half the map shielded by the big wall and rest has lots of cover.

In Iran and Industrial zone the spin alt would come in handy

 

But in IDZ RGB the bases are in a line and a mammy vulcan can make a differnce

I think it was silence.

:huh:  :o

Where did you camp ?

What are you talking about? It was a DM match. So I would almost always be constantly moving. Vulcan isn't good for camping since the trail is there, that is why it has to be on the move at all times.

rarely play RGB... was thinking more of CTF and even CP...

enemies can get quite close without exposing themselves to sustained fire - and once they are close the Vulcan is toast.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

So I asked nives if the most recent firebird buff was supposed to affect Vulcan overheating effect. He said that it was a bug the devs are looking to fix it.

Have anyone tried JGR with vulc ?

DPS isn't very good for stealing kills, much less a low DPS turret like vulcan. It might just be the worst turret for JGR, right behind fire and ricochet.
