I like the bazooka, but the reload time stinks not to mention the fact that tanks can often outmanouver the incredibly slow bazooka rockets. It literally takes seconds for your ammo to reach a tank. I'm actually still surprised that a potshot I made with the bazooka through the trees actually hit something this morning.
Rockets are muy importante. Nothing shames me more than a bazooka-less gunner, ally or enemy.
oh and yeah, that avatar is awesomely creepy
Well, you're supposed to be fighting the tank close up anyhow with the bazooka. Learn to lead with the rockets, and you can easily hit moving targets.
My battle order with against tanks:
1. Activate IEG
2. Tank fires futility at you
3. Fire rockets
4. Tank realizes he can't hurt you, attempts to run you down
5. Hit leg it once IEG wears off
6. Run behind tank; tank turret can' turn fast enough to track you if you dodge him at the last second
7. Fire rocket at rear of tank
8. Tank fires at you, Leg It wears off
9. Hit Shield
10. Dead tank/Ejected Driver
My signature is a reminder of what will happen if you don't purchase the bazooka.
Update: I drove a tank into Farm on Seaside, completely alone, and was ambushed by gunners!
I cringed, knowing that they had surely read this post, and that, surely, the tank I was in was a death trap!
However, after a few minutes, I opened my eyes to the sounds of a metal on metal sound effect, and realized the gunners were shooting me with their machine guns.
Some of the smarter ones were running at me, comically and in slow motion, with TnT in their hands.
I facepalmed and ran them over, stopping only to IEG those silly sticks of dynamite.
IMMA FIRIN MA LA--- ROCKETS!
+ That 30 dmg on the Commando sniping me doesn't hurt.
You forgot another point. You can pluck out snipers from towers with the explosion of the bazooka, then you can gun them down while they're on their parachute.
I couldn't agree more
The rocket launcher is the most powerful weapon of a gunners arsenal
I usually use Leg it when charging the tank, firing rockets at him, then when leg it wears off, i use a keg, placed close to the tank (Under is the best), and fire a rocket BOOM!! Dead tank
But those wimps usually bail out and shoot at me instead
Quote:providing they aren't little pansies that eject out as soon as the tank is at 40 health or something.
Alas, 90% of people that drive a tank do this.
Also, how can you play a gunner without rocket jumpz? It's the one thing that makes the class worth it, the cherry on the applesauce so to speak...
Rocket Jumps? YOU CAN DO THAT?
Wow, reminds me of Team Fortress 2.

Yes
This reminds me of when i thought... hmm i have TNT mission to complete, sneaky as i am i switched out my RPG and equipped the TNT hoping no one would notice the change but ofcourse the next 2-3 games i entered were the most RPG demanding games ive ever been in
. I really felt like a true sitting duck without my RPG
here is a tip: NEVER EVER SWITCH RPG TO TNT
Im suprised the gunner does not start with the RPG since i believe its his most powerful weapon
Dammit, you guys spoil all the fun.
Nothing funnier than tank smashing gunners daft enough not to have ATR.

But then, suddenly, I tank smash you!
The tables have been turned!
i seriously laughed my freaking eyes out while reading. Man OP so true though. I was in a Seaside Skirmish today and royals had 4 gunners so i was like, tank spam fail. then when i soon found out, they had reaction times of cougars and hands of t-rex's, also they all tried to stick tnt.
gunners trying to stick tnt is like a commando trying to knife me LAWLS.
they do it for the luls. i dont think any gunners that stupid...

The entire Royal team attempting to toss TnT on my tank is no lulz.
It's massacre.
Saw two Royals using bazookas today to great effect.
I had to leave my tank to kill them.
