Vulcan is fairly versatile in what it can deal with, but very strict on what range it is effective on.

For ESFs, small vehicles (I define Lightning's front and back as small, but not the side), and Infantry, its only effective at short range (and with ESF, it must be in your elevation angle, which is similar to/the same as other non Anti Air weapons). Of course, on Infantry, you're going to miss. A LOT. On occasions, some heavy assaults manage to allude many of my rounds, which is fairly easily with the Vulcan's huge cone of fire.

Against MBTs, Sunderers, Valkyries, and Harassers, the Vulcan can engage them at a medium ish distance. It may have an issue against the Magrider and Harasser because of its only decent muzzle velocity, but can land some damage. Its VERY effective on the Vanguard and Sunderer, because the front is about as wide as their cone of fire, while the side leaves more than enough room for error. I'm not sure why a Valkyrie should be a priority, unless its full of Heavy Assaults and has a decent nose gun, but it has to be in your firing angle.

Against the Galaxy and Liberator, the Vulcan has slightly more reach than other vehicles, but only if the Galaxy and Liberator are within your firing angle, which is rare.

So basically, a Vulcan can screw up anything, but has to be close for full potential.
