Most OP sniper which 1 shot your tank even with 50% protection. Well game is so much balanced now, because you doing good business.No skill required just $online.

Ah c'mon guys, we can all agree that Vulcan is no peashooter... Maybe not even an SMG. Of course, I'd say it's the most OP turret in the game (and who could disagree with me? Actually, don't answer that...), and when I use it I tend to have better luck. Like seriously, I managed to get in the top 3 Members of our Team (but I'm ignoring the fact that we lost that match :x), but that's saying something, compared to my old failures of lowest / second lowest player on our Team. Also, the new update I guess makes it better, with the shots being individual instead of all the same thing (but now you have to aim better!). So, all in all, I like it (and it pays me back by destroying my tank the enemy tanks). Cool turret!

Try clearing browser/client cache. Also try playing in smaller maps to see if the same problem occurs. Additionally, keep all the options under the graphics bar unchecked. Sometimes having many applications opened at once also causes lag.

Thnk u .ill try it and let u know .i mean my laptop has a core i5 processor .so is that ok for playing without a lot of lags ?

I have core i3 and its goes fine. I think the problem might be in your internet. Try checking speed of your net? 

Lastly, if you have more questions, Id recommend coming to forum PM or using 'QNA' section of the forum. Since our discussion is becoming irrelevant to the topic. You are always welcome to ask more questions though.

Nice article @Tidebreaker

On my marshall account I just got MK7 hunter kit (Fujiyama I think) which already had a strong MK7-16 hornet.  Using it without any alteration and it has been excellent with those 2 hulls, getting 500+ battle scores often (~8000 GS depending on modules).

On this account with full garage, my primary turret is vulcan with defender and hornet or hunter.  I always use rubberized bullet alteration.  I think it is the perfect turret in the current meta.  You definitely feel the drop in bullet speed for long distance shots or even trying to track a moving opponent at mid-range, but there are a huge number of places where the riccochet effect is incredibly useful; I think more so than with actual Riccochet turret because your shots go farther and faster and you don't have a limited number of shots in the tank barring overheating. 

For example, on Highways I can hit almost any where in the opponent base from any of the 3 top bridges.  On Stadium you can shoot behind most of the walls from side platforms or from the ground up through the ramp openings.  Going through any doorway being able to shoot people on the way in on either side or going up center ramps on Wolfenstein.  Clearing out magnums camping on top of Cologne.  (I think I could shoot myself on top of Cologne with bullets going all the way around.)  On Noise, where vulcans often sit to left of top flag, being able to bounce off the walls and shoot down all 3 ramps to the lower level.  On Hill, boucing shots off the sign to other side.  Even a map like Forest with almost no straight walls you can use it on the ramps.  What I love is that it allows you to reach opponents in places they would otherwise be safe. 

I hope at some point it becomes more generally available because I don't think it is fair for any turrets/hulls/alterations to permanently be exclusively available for money.

Vulcan is really good . I wouldnt  quite say op because the overheating causes a lot of self damage but really good in all ways .i can destroy light to medium tanks on da without dd in moments .even heavy tanks give in after a while. Everyone is so afraid of vulcans that they start attacking me first .but if i use supplies i can easily eat through all of them
