Using the GL and Heat together is a form of juggling. The trajectories do not match up so you have to alternate well. I find that I tend to lob a grenade carefully while charging the Heat Cannon. You can also pre-fire the 'nade to get them moving and the nland the heat after the dodge. If they don't dodge, you have landed a grenade. I guess 'constant pressure alternating guns' sums up my Heat Infil playstyle. (There are much better pilots, but I do pretty well w/ it, for context.)

I can't use HC on infil.
I hated that weapon.

Then I used it on scout.
I'm not that great at it still, but on scout it's much easier to use because of TOW.

Now I have fun with it!

This, I find juggling trajectories on inf not as easy, the weapon fit scout more imo.
Then again, wath some pro's working HEAT easy

Okay, the way the heat cannon works is like so. It's essentially a rapid fire rocket launcher that can be charged. In rapid fire mode, you shoot about 1 per second, have a moderate flight speed, do around 80 dmg with a direct hit and have a small splash radius. If you charge the gun, the charge time is about 1.5 sec, and counting in the reload time, the time between two fully charged shots is about 3 seconds. Also, charged projectiles have a very rapid flight speed, do about 90 dmg with a direct hit and have a VERY large blast radius (almost as much as a TOW). So, you can view it like this: In rapid fire mode, assuming you land all your shots, you'll deal much more damage over a long period of time than if you were to use just charged shots, however the charged shot does more damage in one single blast, and is easier to hit people with.
