Soldier vs HW...

Which works better overall? shooting rocket at head for more dmg, or legs to move him around?

i dont use sollies -- but i do use HW's -- and i dread coming up against a solly -- the good sollies always get me -- they usually aim at my feet but i try and jump so thier is less damage

im not really sure what is best cos if u aim for the head -- they can duck and u will miss them all together -- but if u aim 4 the feet -- they can jump but it will still hurt em.

i would say feet -- cos u always get some health of them -- but i dont use sollies that often so im probably wrong

Shooting at a HW's feet doesn't move him around all that much...therefore I would say go for the maxium damage you can get. Just make sure you don't miss becuase then you are f00ked.

Hit them in the mid section. You want a direct hit, but you don't want them to jump/duck and have it miss.

On the other hand, three rockets, a nade, and a shotty blast will kill a HW at full health, so if i have that option i usually do that and aim for the feet so i don't miss. Or just dump all four rockets into him with a nade.

Do this, when u see an HW prime a grenade shoot rockets at his feet, then when the grenade is almost done shoot a rocket at one side of him and the nade on the other. That gives most HWs a free ride to the respawn. This is what I like to do though. Have super shotty as last weapon. Then shoot one rocket at the HW switch to super shotty shoot him once go back to rocket repeat this till he is dead, and remember to strafe around him. Works on most of the HWs I have faced.

I suggest you run! hehehehe

The way the better sollys kill me as HWs they jump and starfe a lot! And use multiple weapons/nades. If you stand still in front of me, you will die. You may take me out, but you are going with me. And whatever you do.... don't back up... you will back right into my overshot MIRV. That is one way of dealing with people who seem to like to run away from me... hehehehe

If you are playing against a HW like YPAWOM or Rata-tat-tat, my sugeestion is avoidance. If you get a glimpse of them. GO THE OTHER WAY. HIDE IN RESPAWN! Just do not face them. You will die. hehehehe

Well somewhat situationally dependent. I typically aim near the mid section so that even if I over shoot a little I'll still hit the feet.

DO NOT STOP MOVING

Standing still=Chewed alive by the AC. Do have the Shotty ready for the quick switch, although most the time the 4 rockets and a nade will do the trick. But if your low on rockets and have no nades then just do what damage you can and try to restock and reload.

Soldier should always win against HW, unless the solly is reloading, out of grenades, low on health, etc. I always prime a grenade when I see an Hw, then I dump 4 rockets into him, throw the grenade, and if he's not dead, I shoot him with the shotty. I shoot rockets at the HW's feet, unless you can hit him directly, go for it. Otherwise, they're pretty boring to kill. The most fun to kill is sniper. Just shoot at rocket at his feet, and shotgun him in the air.

Use the terrain on the map to hide/reload and aim for the feet if you miss one rocket against hw you will usually die.

the best thing when gogin for a HW is to ahve one on your own team pump AC into their face so they get into a HW-duel thing, then go behind em with the cbar...you get the cbar kill, and they get the humiliation of being cbared...hopefully that will make them not want to be HW anymore, and they will go cry somewhere...

AAActually.... i empty my RL into them, then get some cover and wait for em to stop firing...(all the while reloading) then you reappear, and they have to spin-up again to fire, but by then its more RPGs and a greande and theyre done...use the time they have to take to start their AC to your advantage, they are most helpless during it, and EXPECIALLY slow...

DIE DIE DIE

If you can hit an hw in the chest or in the head that means you have good aim. But usually to kill an hw you have to be persistent. You have to move about like in a rectangular motion. Do not jump so much because you will be blown up in the air. Once you are rendered in the air who knows what will be down to break your fall. Either your legs will break or spam will be there to help ya die. Gibbon! Raph!

If you can dodge and shoot at the same time the HW will have a hard time shooting you. A good HW has good aim, and what they do is point and shoot and follow you with their AC. If you shoot their feet it messes up their aim. Four rockets and a nade will kill an hw if you manage to get direct hits. Usually splash hits are good, but direct hits are of course a lot better. If you hit an hw in the chest it will take more damage off then a splash hit.

I say you should practice headshots and bodyshots because they are always good to do. Not only that but have your SSG (super shot gun) handy and always reload your weapons: RL and SSG. People make that mistake a lot, one not having their SSG handy and two, not reloading. The SSG is a good weapon for long range and short range. An SSG is a burst weapon so it can hit of course

If you can't hit your enemy from a far distance and know they are low in health, switch to your SSG. Make sure you have a bind to quick switch to your SSG. A good soldier makes good judgements, hehe. Good stuff.

i hit em in the feet.... it moves em a bit... just enough to throw off their aim enough..... which gives u enough time to continue hittin em in the feet... i usually prime one nade before i shoot at em... let it go then prime another... while slaughtering (big word) with rockets... works for me... except against those experienced hws

As solly, when you are jumping and moving, be careful not to get to close. Right up next to the AC is a bad place to be, because the bullets haven't had the opportunity to spread out and miss you. I always shoot at a HW's feet, because if you miss once with a rocket and don't do any damage, you D-E-A-D.

Also, don't run from the HW gods. They are excellent practice. After going up against them, I love meeting up with a lower talent HWguy. I can kick some HW butt now because of YPAWOM and Rata and Hat and the rest. Uh... I just can't kick butt AGAINST YPAWOM and Rata and Hat and the rest.
