costs 1000+2000 but good wep start
from here i basically stay on the side and wait for the enemy tank to lose his creep protection. after that i run off to the side, indirect but close enough to shoot them. By then hes weakened, and more creep protection has arrived. if he stays in the lane, i repeat the process. if he flees, hes loses creeps protection and i zoom off to the side. shoot my missile with the stun,and keep up with him while blasting him with my bombarding rockets. the good things about chasing them is that 1.if theyre almost dead and they start hiding out by the tower, bRockets wont target the tower; just their tank, 2.them being next to control points means the only creep protection they get is two marines every 20 sec, 3. 1300 range bRockets means their tower wont be able to hit you, and if they dont have bRockets or 1300range weps they cant hit you back.
-upgrade bRockets with 500g-
-farm 2800gold, then bbuy energy torpedoes, then upgrade it
That's a big leak of that strategy in mid-skilled (or better) games, becouse you won't be able to get a hull or air ship quickly enough to escape heavy tanks rockets. Generally its better to get a second bombarding rocket instead to save Gold with nearly the same kill-efficiency. I'd rather use long range strategys in low or midskilled games, becouse its essential to get enough kills in the early game, which you won't against well playing opponents, but if your enemys don't adept well (which can be seen even at mediocre bt-clan-players) you can get an huge edge.
