    Vulcan harassers are everywhere. They zerg every fight. They hammer every vehicle with spam. They camp behind trees with immunity waiting for anyone to pass by.

    Every fight boils down to vulcan harassers spamming vehicles.

    We have no weapons that can truly hurt harassers from any side. Infantry, tank, and air AV are horribly underpowered.

    The game would be may more fun if the AV, AI, and AA lethality of vulcan harassers were toned down tremendously.

    2/3 of factions = 2/3 of players = stats to back this up, gg forumside

    I believe you are correct. The vulcan as it currently stands is a bit too powerful in its anti everything scalability.

    I agree, and according to other post in this forums they have the most blatantly OP ablity of all get this: "The Vulcan Harassers can one-shot road kill things!" omg! nerf them!

    Look at the map sometime to prevent being attack from the rear. If the vulcan harasser have stealth, then he don't have composite armor : wreck it.
    MBT outdamage vulcan harasser by far.
    Furry can outdamage vulcan harasser (but if you don't destroy it in 12 shot, you're f*cked).
    Sunderer are OP and don't fear vulcan harasser. (2 basilisk + 1 engineer for repair will deter it)
    Lightning die to vulcan harasser as fast as they die to enforcer / saron harasser.

    If you still die, then grab an ESF and kill it with your stock nosegun (don't be too close)


    The only problem I see with vulcan is it's an universal weapon : it's an AV weapon but it can also ventilate infantry and airplane (good vertical angle). Other ESAV aren't that effective at AI or AA.
    In other word :
    -Reduce vulcan damage by ~33% to reduce it's effectiveness against infantry
    -Change ground vehicle so they will take the same damage from vulcan as actually
    -Don't change airplane resistance to vulcan

    Every faction gets a crutch weapon for a while, this is just the latest.

    When it passes most of the players using it will be as mediocre as they were before it and spend all their time posting in "XXXX is now under performing, here's a list of stats that prove the sun is green"
