explain to me plz

shot rokcet
explode

Legs could help

Play vs bots at lower timescale than 1

Imo first you need a comfortable crosshair.
Try to shoot when you really think it's gonna hit; patience is key. It's also important to get the feel of the rocket's speed. Try to visualize trajectories, since it's not a hitscan weapon. With enough practice, it will be second nature.
For a nice bounce, you have to aim slightly below the legs or at the "heel" area. Don't forget that many times, hitting a good spot on the wall / ceiling / floor can produce nice splash damage. With properly placed rockets you can force your enemy to be in very unfavorable positions - you should use these instances to your advantage; he's / she's almost bare naked when he / she bounces around (in a directed manner) helplessly.
Learn the spots on every map, where can you expect nice spam damage. When you spam, don't just press +attack in every direction, make it so that every shot have a purpose.
A *.cfg that provides sufficient depth perception can also help a bit so as cg_playerLean 1 since it will be easier to visualize the forementioned trajectories.
Learn and think about what are those situations and ranges where you have an advantage with rl - use the weapon, when it's appropriate. Let it be a fine tool of destruction, not the only gun of a +forward rocket monkey. : D


What I did back then when I didn't have internetz is just loaded up dm17 with a nightmare bot (Anarki / Sorlag most of the time) and tried to hit as many air- and long range rockets as possible. Your rl aim will improve with time, just don't expect instant success. Practice, practice, practice.

visualize trajectories? we aren't talking about ballistic missiles ...

I'm a visual type.

I can hit $$$ rockets on dm17/ctf4/etc.

But I cant hit in close range when enemy's on ground. Just do some <70 dmg splashes.

Also I never can throw enemy in air with my rocket.

I started using higher fov and drawgun 3 with the round crosshair w/dot in the middle


help me a ton

Is it a troll post?

fov 100
white dot
drawgun 2

don't press +attack button every 800ms

Useful adivce.

shoot the green robot until it dies

Awmygad. What if it's cyan? Shud I shoot it 2? : S

Cyan robots are on the endagered species list. Do not kill.

Yeha, thanks to fearzzz they are. Have you seen how many he kills a day?

half green / half cyan FTW

rl is prediction, rg is slight prediction / flick / waiting for the opponent to come into crosshair. LG is smooth tracking.

Incredible insight

I knew there was going to be at least one smart ass comment. Pretty sure everything I stated was correct.

More insightful than what you could ever possibly come out with.

Yes, how could I ever hope to discern the subtle differences between hitscan and projectile weapons.

Go back to Reddit child. Your Mum says your dinner's just about ready.

lmbo that was so lame

Is that "laughing my booty off"? A variant of lmao?

"Laughing My Black-ass Off" you fucking idiot!!

was really clever play on words, yes. Pm me if you don't get it :-P

actively think about your shot, to learn what you need to think about, pay attention to how cypher, av3k, cooller and rapha aim their rockets

e: or evil for instance, his rockets are pretty awesome

Not sure if srs

follow the shadow, it makes understanding enemy's distance better

this.

rocketjump on the motherfucker

You think this is a joke? on dm6 I RJd on steam noob's head during pub tdm. He was camping the RA and standing motionless. I was standing on his head for like 30 seconds or more, railing his pal who was popping in and out from RL bridge and that idiot was just standing below me. He wasn't afk btw, he was spamming nades into the LG room below. There u go.

spamming nades from ra to lg room...do you even quake, bro?

Prolly meant YA. I get confused in my old age too. :O))

pub tdm

Sorry mate I meant YA :O

I need help :P

haha, if you're playing pub TDM and running into that ppl like that, then yeah, you need help :PPP

What a perceptive beast he was.

He didnt answer even though I asked him.
I suppose he wasnt even sure he was playing.

He was not even sure that he was not sure about getting a hint of clue. : D

Don't skip leg days

ever!

practice, practice, practice

2 things:

Getting good aim with RL is not difficult given how the splash is huge.

But getting good DIRECT HITS is another matter. Thats where the skill goes. Especially with air rox on fast moving air movement-controlling opponent.

Try to get a feeling of RL, that is you must know the DPS speed of a rocket and then overaim for it to arrive ontarget when it gets there. You must feel it. It cannot be explained, it must be experienced and learned.

Play lots of RL-only servers with inf RL ammo to geta feeling.

Training RL with bots is useless. Bots are predictable especially in air whereas humans are not. Also human players make very specific and repetitive patterns so when you actually learn them you will get a lot of frags by sending a "blind" rocket into a spot where the guy is supposed to move/pop out.

"Try to get a feeling of RL, that is you must know the DPS speed of a rocket and then overaim for it to arrive ontarget when it gets there. You must feel it. It cannot be explained, it must be experienced and learned."

This is what I described as "visualize trajectories".

Yeah. Apparently it sounded to complicated for some ppl here lol
You have to see it in your mind and after a while you will put the rocket where it should be automatically

Trouble getting your rocks off?

play 200 hours of tribes

and then practice QL rockets a lot

Use the dodge, Luke!

Guys, plot twist. rl as in 'real life'...

You can't teach rockets kid. You've either got it, or you don't!

Yoda spoke.

Point and click.

Play qw midair

Rocket lawnchairs?

cg_shadows 1. aim at them.

but how do you deal with opponents that know how to dodge?

start dodging as well.

Aim at the dodging shadow.

Play 1v1 ca vs decent rl guys and get smacked \o/. Best practice you can get.
And pls don't listen to shadow guys L3L.

Time every rocket you shoot. Don't look directly in the direction of your opponent. When doing the latter it's harder for your opponent to calculate where your next rocket is going to land, making it harder for him to calculate the next location he's going to dodge to. Watch closely how good RL players shoot their rockets (Cooller, Yrx, Liliq) they all use this time-calculate & flick aim method. Took me 600 1v1 ca's to get good at this way of aiming.

And also; don't forget that being good with rockets is also using your surroundings and movement to the best efficiency. When combining the above with good and unpredictive movement you totally confuse your opponent in a direct 1v1 RL fight. Use movement + strafe keys to the max and only use your mouse at the last few milliseconds before aiming and shooting.

Anyone else read it like how to get good real life aim?

what is that?

yeah :p

do what cooller does

Get wrecked by cypher's rockets?

That or

get a crosshair to match the RL splash, therefore /cg_crosshairsize 1000

secret guide for good rl

Get good ping

Practice, practice and.. practice.

I find using the rail gun gives better rockets.

Good RL AIM = you allways know where enemy will dodge/move !

one does not simply break combos

it's actually pretty easy

good RL AIM = you allways know where enemy will dodge/move !

How to get good rl aim

Make all shots hit the target, obviously.

Visualize ahead in time and trust it 100% and mean it, I promise you are doing way too small predicts if you havent focused on it before. Practise predicting extremes.

I noticed practicing with GL trying to hit directly is good.

Never fire a rocket unless you think it will either direct or get big splash damage on target.
