N.V.A. GUNNER STANDARD EQUIPMENT

1. 4 Stick Grenades

Just like the U.S., the N.V.A. Gunners get four hand grenades
apiece, which really helps them out. Without the grenades, the the N.v.A. gunner really doesn't have much of a chance next to a tank or even fully loaded jeeps (provided the people in the jeeps know what they're doing.) With grenades, you can take out a tank if you throw well enough. Usually I can blow a tank thats got full health with three, maybe four grenades. Less if I have teammates nearby who are also hacking away at it.

Remember, when you're a Gunner - those grenades are your insurance policy against armor. Right clicking instead of left clicking drops the grenade in front of you, which is good for dropping them out of windows and over cliffs. If you do drop a grenade on flat land, get out of there fast.

And Josh (who you'll find in the credits section) sent me an email with more right-clicking tips:

"It is worth noting though, that your actually supposed to HOLD DOWN the right click to adjust how far the grenade goes...Just clicking the right click is a great strategy, but there are tons of uses for holding it down for a little bit - like to throw a grenade over a short fence."
