DUST Search - Missile tankers, what's the trick for smaller targets?

(Yeah, I'm playing again.)

I'm hooked on missile tanking. It's fun. Installations go down faster, and blaster maddies get dealt with. (Except Sgt. butterscratch. Damn, he's good.) I like being able to hang further back, as well. Nitrous booster, radar, great armor, lots of EXPLOSIONS, this is my ideal tank.

The thing is, I'm having problems with infantry. They're so annoying to hit, that I'm reduced to putting small blaster turrets on my rig, and letting them get all the kills. I've gotten a lot better at staying alive, and knowing when to run (although I still have problems with tunnel vision, but I'm working on it). Being unable to squash the ants has harshed my mellow. I know other missile tankers can get these guys, I just need to know how they do it. Do you lead the target? Hit the ground and go for splash? What is it?! Please help a sad missile tanker improve his game. I'm using the advanced fragmented turret. Do I need to go prototype for better results?

A healthy amount of luck. and Higher elevation, look down upon the peons and rain down death and destruction. Nuff Said

I find myself often times aiming at the body. Nuff Said

Faster rate of fire and extra splash damage. When on equal elevation with the infantry, it is a ***** to hit anything. Higher elevation, even the smallest amount, makes a big difference to me.
