Please Fix Vulcan - Post Patch

[DestrotankF1 52]

A perhaps unintended consequence of the patch is that Vulcan, which was already one of the weakest turrets in TO has received a large nerf - it now receives massive self - damage after the Firebird change.

Before the patch if you went beyond the yellow - bar "overheat resistance" threshold for a few seconds if you needed to kill a target you received very little self - damage, now you receive a massive amount. When in the continuous fire mode the damage is absurdly high now.

This is a particular problem for light hulls, on my Hornet/Vulcan account you absolutely cannot go beyond the overheat resistance, or you might as well press self - destruct.

Some good balance changes, with a firebird buff (will have to see how strong it proves to be though), and a slight freeze nerf, but the Vulcan self - damage, for a turret which was already weak, needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks.

That is true, although I just wanted to raise awareness and start a discussion about this as this is quite a significant problem, and not many players are Vulcan users so it may go relatively unnoticed.

Thanks for the feedback. You can discuss Vulcan in this topic, but I will forward your issue to developers so that they can hopefully release a fix. Of course it's still possible that this Vulcan nerf was actually intentional.
