I need some help

I seem to really struggle against good assaults as the gunner, any tips?

I usually run Armor, Accuracy, RoF against games with lots of small and medium body size players and I rarely notice a damage difference unless it's a one on one with a gunner, but I need help with assaults.

Try and always get a height advantage and shoot them in the back or from the side. If know how to "claw" then this should be easy. Strafe and jump as much as you can.

The problem is if they ever get shot first they can just use their superior mobility to retreat, so they never have to fight me when I have the initial upper hand. And, yes I can claw, and I whore it up as much as possible.

Assaults are a pain...I have a problem with ones that jump around a lot, but I tend to switch to mortar if they start retreating. I don't go for assault kills longer range after they retreat, I don't chase those little guys. I don't lose the short game unless they're good...it's the mid game where they tend to become pests.

The real solution here is to switch to playing assault...they're a gunner with a lot more fun abilities.

Play defensive.

At this point, you can't push too far out, otherwise you're done for.

Only stretch out as far as your team goes.

If you don't have a team, don't play gunner if there are good assaults on the other team because I guarantee you this nightmare will happen again.

Amen.

Look out for their bombs and charges. You can win very easily if you evade their secondary abilities.

i generally try to back off as i engage them. more or less clawing away from them to keep them away from behind me
