Half-Life 2 Hints
Gunship Shooting Tips
1 of 6: If you're sure you want to destroy the gunship, drive the jeep into the car wreckage area and park it near the white van.
2 of 6: That van contains an infinite ammo crate with RPG rockets, so you have an unlimited rocket resource for blasting that gunship.
3 of 6: The best way to find cover is to get behind the white van and use the gravity gun to knock away the car that's near the van's back end.
4 of 6: Then you can crouch and move around the van as needed to avoid gunship fire.
5 of 6: However, it's still very hard to hit the gunship with rockets since it can fire almost continuously, and is therefore very good at shooting your rockets down.
6 of 6: Basically, you'd be far better off using the Gunship Avoiding Tips (especially if you're on Hard difficulty).
