LaserChaingunner

Background information

There is a bunch of tanks and heavy armored vehicles approaching the NOD base! What do we do? Get the rocket soldiers? Yes. Get Raveshaw? Yes. I got it! How about the newest weapon for the Blackhand? The laser chain gun! The laser gun wielded by Laser chain gunners, that is capable of destroying light vehicles quickly, and heavy armored vehicles with a good amount of DPS (damage per second.)

The Blackhand laser chain gunner, is a advanced class and a more upgraded version of the NOD officer. While the laser chain gun still acts like a regular chain gun and a minigun, it still has recoil and is terrible at very long ranges. Now here's how a run down on the in's and outs of playing as a laser chain gunner:

Tactics

The lasers from the chain gun is very devastating against very light vehicles, but they are very hard to hit due to their size, and speed. The laser chain gun is also a better weapon for infantry. When a target is hit by a laser, they will take a small bit of damage from afterburn. This happens 100% everytime you land a hit. However, hitting a target that is taking damage from the after burn with the gun again will cause the after burn to refresh, causing it to last even longer! Tanks are also easy to destroy with the lasers, which means that 2-3 laser chain gunners can make short work of a tank, and potentially even a enemy GDI harvester. Doing so will reduce the income and reset the harvester's collection route.

Counters

The downside to this class is almost the same as playing as the officer class: recoil, and useless at long range. Snipers can easily take advantage over the laser gunner, killing him easily. Buildings do not suffer a lot of damage, and you can be easily over runned by a lot of anti-infantry vehicles such as Humvees and GDI APCs.
