Name:Nigel Grant aka "Gunner"
Arnament: "Locust" Rocket Launcher
Health: 200 pts
Armour: 100 pts
Cost: 400
Role: Anti-armour
Description: a former Special Boat Service operative for the British. Don't dare mention crumpets and tea; this Afro-English lad's formative years were spent toughing it out on the streets and in the pubs of London's south side. After service as an elite solider in the U.K.'s SBS, Gunner joined up with the GDI and the legendary Dead-6 Commando Detachment as a rocket soldier. At 6'6" and 274 lbs., Gunner doesn't complain about the heavy lifting. In fact, he doesn't complain about anything; the often caustic Brit gets the job done with a steady hand and a cool head and saves the shop talk for the pub. (Sources: http://www.cncden.com)
Advantages:
-Cheap cost
-faster rate of fire compared to the average rocket soldier
-Splash damage from rockets (effective at close quarters combat)
Disadvantages:
-rockets are somewhat slow like the MRLS rockets and like any other rocket soldiers
-useless when enemy is afar since its very hard to use the splash damage to your advantage
-Big head, higher chances of receiving headshots
-Bigger body, higher chances of hitting Gunner due to his size
conclusion:
Use gunner for close-quarters combat, taking out tanks for a relatively cheap cost for 400.
easy counters:
Never approach this guy unless youre ready to receive big-time damage, take him out from afar.
I recommend ranged weapons like automatic rifles and stuff. Using a shotgun is risky but you can take him out with it.
My own comments about this guy:
I used to diss Gunner and put him on my Stealth Black Hand "Sweet Targets List" but not anymore. Once there was this gunner that I have my eyes locked on. He never noticed me until I fired (Location: Tunnels, map: Cnc_Under), he gave me a quick response by firing a rocket to my feet(indirectly). I got creamed after several splash damage and a lucky direct shot. I never approached Gunners that near since then(Still on my list with a different approach =D). I have never used gunner before until that day because I thought that gunner was useless because he has more health (+50) than the rocket soldier and nothing else.
