Anti-Armor Gunners are armed with cannons for use against armored targets.
Saxon Anti-Armor Gunners, or simply "Gunners," are specialized infantry units trained by the Saxony Empire. They are armed with miniaturized cannons for use against armored targets like mechs.
The anti-armor gunners of all factions are functionally identical.
General Descriptions[]
With the advent of mechanized armor units trudging the battlefield and mechs or weapon systems of their own not always readily available, infantry often need a go-to and mobile option of their own. These demolition experts wear the same uniform as Stormtroopers, except that their belt is loaded with additional equipment like shells and powder charges. Compared to other factions, their cannon's design is very well-engineered with smooth, machined curves.
Gunners pack some of the best anti-armor weaponry of all low-tier infantry units short of heroes like Gunter. They are affordable to produce and in numbers can punch through light and medium armor with ease.
Their specialization in armor-busting, however, does leave them vulnerable to infantry, as their cannons are slow to reload and clumsy to aim at smaller targets. Their heavy equipment also slows them down, making escape from anti-infantry units like machine guns, anti-infantry mechs, or artillery. Thus they require support from anti-infantry units, but in groups will wear down early enemy mech units quite quickly.
Pros[]
- Cheaper than mechs
- Good anti-armor capability over all other low-tier infantry, particularly light armor
- Good range
- Adaptable with weapons kits
Cons[]
- Slower-moving than grenadiers or riflemen
- Slow rate of fire and poor accuracy against infantry
- More expensive
- Ineffective against heavy armor
