Who is the best cannoner?

[EchoFourAlpha]

the best canoneer is any canoneer who actually listens to his team when they tell him "stop arty" or "cease arty" when they have overran the enemy and are charging in to clean up. Can't tell how you annoyed I get when the hooligans on your team's arty insist on continuing to send rounds downrange even though they are putting them right in the middle of the rest of their team.

Usually I'm the one on the howitzer/mortar pleading for my team feed me info.

"Which building are they in? Call it out and I can nail it"
"Tell me when you pass (this point) so I can adjust fire"

etc.

Especially in maps like river crossing. Give me the mortar or the howitzer and I can put a round anywhere you want with one shot. But if you see me dropping rounds in a particular spot and then rush said spot with out opening your mouth, its your fault.

p.s. I wish I could get players on the public servers to pack up into dense little formations like you do in line battles. You'll rarely see 8+ kill shots on a pub match.

Who is Attila? It might be because I'm an NA player, but I've never seen him on a server.

huh? ok anyway nice try shifting blame, but even if you have an eerily silent team, you still shold be able to figure out on your own when the tide of the battle has shifted greatly and there's only a handful left on the other team. you don't NEED someone telling you...

The good ones that I have seen in action first hand has to be either HappyBanana or AllDay. Unfortunately I have not encountered this Attila.

addendum to my first comment:

the best cannoneer is the one who realizes he's support, and not the main show...

It's really difficult to say for sure who is the BEST cannoner. There are lots of good cannoners.
Without a doubt Attila is one of the best. Back in MM, he was somebody I hated to face because of his cannon skills !
In the latest events I attended with the 92nd, I unfortunately faced the cannoners of the 1er, and god they're good.

It's impossible to say who'se the best canoneer. It all depends on the situation, and a fair bit of luck is involved in terms of how clumped the enemy are, and how much the line regiments are herp-derping. Plus, I know for a fact that many very decent gunners don't regularly play events, and so get less attention than those that do.

Panzerfaust-Jack is also a good cannoneer
