Re: Questions about Medic and Rocketeer

In early game, I mostly use rocketeers as if they were snipers without Snap Shot and squadsight, which sounds kinda lame except that they're so good at cover destruction when you've steadied their aim. Everyone else mops up. Once you have a MSGT, they're good for "pulling" if you get Javel...
