Tank hunter (Generals 1)

Tank Hunters were China's main anti-tank/air infantry during the GLA Conflict.
==Background==
Armed with a rocket launcher that could reduce armor to scraps in seconds, their rockets also have targeting systems built into them allowing Tank Hunters to attack aircraft, though the system is not accurate enough to track moving infantry.
==Game Unit==
Tank Hunters are highly effective against various enemy vehicles. Garrisoned in Bunkers or civilian buildings, Tank Hunters can provide a solid defense against enemy tank rushes. Tank Hunters are also armed with TNT charges that can be used at melee range to inflict heavy damage, though they are comparatively weaker than Colonel Burton and Rodall Juhziz' Jarmen Kell's demolition charges against buildings. As with Red Guards and Mini-Gunners, Tank Hunters can benefit from the Horde Bonus in groups of five for a fire rate bonus, even when mixed with the two aforementioned units.

===Usage===
Tank Hunters can be deployed flexibly for anti-vehicle attack and defense. Loaded into a Helix/Assault Helix, Assault Troop Transport, Listening Outpost/Attack Outpost, or bunker-equipped Overlord Tank, Tank Hunters can be used on the offensive. Helix helicopters can fly protected Tank Hunters swiftly over any terrain to wreak havoc on enemy armour or even buildings, provided of course the bunker upgrade was installed.
General Fai is famous for his vast deployment of stealthy Attack Outposts packed with Tank Hunters. Unmodified Troop Crawlers can transport Tank Hunters to the front lines, but they must be offloaded in order to fire, thus offering no protection in a firefight.
Their TNT make enemy tanks think twice about approaching and running them down, as a single charge is often enough to destroy a basic tank, if not heavily damage it. If they manage to survive the fight into an enemy base, their charges can also be used against buildings.
===Counters===
However, Tank Hunters out in the open are as vulnerable to anti-infantry weapons. They require considerable numbers to stand any chance against enemy anti-infantry vehicles, such as Quad Cannons, and cannot efficiently damage infantry.
==Changelog==
* Zero Hour patch 1.03: his explosives no longer disappear when he dies - instead, they explode

==Trivia==
* Nuke General Tsing Shi Tao was supposed to have access to nuclear Tank Hunters, armed with launchers that fired uranium-tipped warheads instead. Nuclear Tank Hunters can fire from a long range and do a massive damage. The rate of fire is quite high and when killed, he spreads nuclear radiation. However, the unit concept overall was scrapped due to being highly unbalanced however it can be used from downloadable mods.
* The Tank Hunter's in-game model's weapon resemble the rocket launcher, but the cameo indicates that they uses what appears to be an rocket launcher.
** Coincidentally, the PF-89 was designed as a replacement for the older , which is used by GLA RPG Troopers.
