Look at this poll data here:

If you notice, Vulcan has the second highest number of votes for "best in current meta"......

Well, I have news for you:

Vulcan is not the best turret in the game. In fact, it’s actually really balanced and isn’t very overpowered at all. However, Heat Immunity is though.

There was a 4-month period where Vulcan practically was the best turret in the game. A lot of those votes were most likely cast during that period.

Well, I'd argue that if you do not have Heat Immunity yourself, then Vulcan is still the best turret in the game, next to Gauss. 

 

I have seen 7000GS IB+HI players shredding 9000+ GS tanks with ease.

Probably, once the Devs have milked the playerbase enough, they will disable that combo... So that HI will become useless and players will all be forced to buy Stun and EMP protection.

They can just nerf the afterburn or heating per projectile to make IB next to useless, but it would be difficult to nerf HI since it is just a 100% overheat resistance...

Welp, I have some news for you. These results are still what I see the most in the game right now. Since Vulcan has such OP Augments, it is still overused, which is why it is still meta. Augments applied.

Was it the period after Vulcan got the projectile rework (February 2020)?

OP Augments??

Honestly, the only OP Augment Vulcan has is Adrenaline lol.

I'll break down all of it's Augments (and exclude Heat Immunity. These Augments are only OP when paired with Heat Immunity):

• Reinforced Aiming Transmission is great and makes Vulcan a truly versatile turret in many battles, however it still gets beaten by Gauss, Magnum, and other long-range snipers. Additionally, the reduced vertical auto aim makes the turret quite weak in maps with varied terrain, such as Massacre and Highways.
• Shooting Speed Regulator is awesome for countering the Hoppers who use Mouse Controls, but the damage reduction due to the reduced firing rate means that it'll take 15% longer to destroy most people. This Augment is only good if you're facing people who hide and pop out from cover to shoot, and immediately drive back into cover. Otherwise, if most of your enemies decide to simply charge in, you're better off using Default Vulcan or another Augment for higher damage.
• Incendiary Band is honestly mainly useful only if you have a repair kit handy or if you can afford to lose a portion of your health. Otherwise, if you would rather have save your own health, you're better off using default Vulcan or some other augment. This augment means you will inevitably need to do self-damage, otherwise you are practically using a downgraded Vulcan, as the reduced projectile speed greatly reduces the turret's effective range.
• Rubberized Rounds is very fun to play with and when used properly, you can satisfyingly troll your enemies. However, most of the time, when you manage to figure out the optimal position to shoot in order to utilize the ricocheting effect, your Vulcan would've lost much of it's available ammo and it will only be a matter of time before you start to overheat.

These Augments aren't OP at all lol. They're only game-breaking when used with Heat Immunity, as it allows Rubberized Rounds and Incendiary Band to forever utilize their bouncing and burning abilities without any worries of overheating, and it greatly increases the damage potential of Reinforced Aiming Transmission and Shooting Speed Regulator, thus giving them unlimited damage potential due to not overheating.

Not really. In my opinion, Shaft and Magnum are more powerful turrets than Vulcan, especially with Shaft's annoying ability to now one-shot people whose hulls are even higher-leveled than Shaft is. And Magnum has the 2 second reload mechanic at Mk8, additionally it's basically Thunder but you can also shoot behind literal obstacles. Oh, and Isida is super annoying with it's insanely high DPS. There is literally almost no chance of surviving an Isida that manages to sneak up to you.

Noooooo

If this happens, than it will suck for non buyers who bought Incendiary Band but don't have enough money to buy Heat Immunity.

Yes

Are Forum users just not Vulcan users? 

 

Sighs*

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Sees the Devs promise new HD Skins and cool Shop changes this Friday.

Also Forum Users: Cool! Can't wait!

 

Me: I knew it. When they say, "promise" it won't come. 

I see no new Skins, and horrible Shop prices. 

 

Update is a 0 from me, -1 for MM not working, -1 for the most common bought Shop prices increased, and -2 for the Crystal Supply pack prices increased.

Update: -4/10

 

 

Might be the worst update in 2021. We went from awesome changes to dogsh changes.

I used to use Vulcan but stopped after its rework ;-;

[yellowghetto 3,206]

What upsets me the most in MM is to see Legend players with 0 iq, or purposely using garbage combos.

I use Vulcan but since I don't own one of those Defender, Lifeguard, Booster, etc Drones, I tend to only do decently until someone kills me.

Oh, and the hovering hulls are so annoying to fight against when I'm using Vulcan.

I don't recall them promising new skins specifically for Friday.

Same here lol
 

Spoiler

But heads up - The developers may drop a Vulcan, Thunder, or Gauss HD in out of nowhere O_O

I hate how the ratings pages now are really slow when you try to view the most used turrets/hulls for anyone.. It's really boring and toughy mission when you want to check someone. Above of that it's just a one line and unpleasant for the eyes when searching. Especially for who check others profiles regularly while discussing with others, and I think it's an important thing to check the mindset of someone before discussing with him.

Especially while checking the most used paints, though I don't care to check the paints of anyone and I don't check it but the video shows how it's really slow

Don't bother about the video thumbnail, it's just to lure new watchers

Nice clickbait.

 

Now put things in the title as ALL CAPS, or 100% REAL!!! or something like (18+)

Then it better be soon. To cope with this dogsh update.

 

I hope it is Gauss HD cuz Tanki doesn't want to give me a freaking Gauss Skin no matter how many Containers open.

It would be so awesome to have an in-game ratings page as well as a browser one using HTML5. And yes. A scrolling feature kinda like the one we have in the game. There are way too many Paint and is quite annoying to check if a player has a certain Paint.

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Wow. It is actually coming. 

Achievement rewards in-game??? That's some clickbait for a thumbnail. @asem.harbi

Playing Tanki Online with a Controller???

Tesla Turret???

TO Mobile iOS in 2025 LOL???

But to be honest I don't care about the views nor I want them, my videos are just for the forum purpose and if I stopped from the forum I will stop my channel even if I have 1000 subscribers.

Most of my videos were Unlisted and less than 1 minute, but I decided one day to open them all in case if it will come with views as I said what restrict me from that and for sure I changed the titles and the thumbnails to be more accepted though I don't want the views.

But if I wanted the views, I can edit my videos with a professional way that not less than any other youtuber and I will put more than 3 hours for the video editing and for sure with music as all of my videos are now without a sound

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Does anybody miss Tanki X? Just watched some random TX videos.

This describtion of Magnum has nothing to do with reality. Magnum right now is by far the worst turret in the game.

If you shoot over obstacle, your shot is nerfed completely. The effect of has been lowered before, but now you can hit a tank 10 times in a row so hard it shakes him, but it will be zero damage if you shoot over obstacle. So you have to come around the obstacle and shoot then. What happens in the mean time? You get destroyed, beucase you can't come out from behind the protection and shoot like other turrets in a second, you need second to drive, turn whole tank around, aim for two seconds, that's total of at least five second and during that time you get killed by virtually every turret in the game. 
If you check damage done per second, magnum is defeated by every other turret. 

So what would be the point of using magnum at all, if there's obviously no problem that I once counted 14 shots out of 15 to have zero effect despite being directly on the target? 

You can be hit behind the wall with almost all other turrets, but no longer with magnum, despite this being its only positive side. 

Other turrets have auto aim, with magnum it's the opposite. You can shoot 3 times in a row with 3 drastically different lengths of shots and hitting the target only once. 

Spawning discrimination - that has been going for a long time. If you get killed in your base by a short range turret before you inflicted any damage, you will get spawned directly in the path of that short range turret and you'll get killed immediatelly before you even get the chance to fire. And you'll get spawned like that several times in a row, always in a perfect correlation with direction and speed of the short range turret you were killed by. What's the point in that? 

So why aren't all crytals returned and magnum simply deleted from avaliable turrets? 
What's the point in keeping it?

What's the point of Striker. That needs to be deleted. It's just an embarrassing Gauss. It's only good in TJR and TJR is a pretty bad mode.

 

Also delete ASL. If ASL is still here why did they remove DM. ASL is a dogsh mode when it comes to balance and how fun it really is.
