Lesson One - Patience is a virtue

"My name is juckto, and you suck at Allegiance. You do, you're awful, and that's why you're here. Today we're gonna start with something really basic, but for you this is gonna be, like, stupid hard, advanced."

Dropping prox the instant you pass through an aleph

Dropping prox one second after you pass through an aleph

For anyone who doesn't recognise the quote, here is the inspirational Youtube video.

I normally wait till at least my screen isn't warped by the aleph any more. Should I be waiting a fraction of a second longer?

What I do is target the aleph just before entering and watch the distance when on the other side. Drop when I reach 250-300m.

That seems like effort. I think I'll just stick to ints.

Also, dropping prox behind the aleph, but oriented correctly is a nice safe way to camp.

The title = 'You s*** at Allegiance'

That title is... discouraging. For me. A n00b. And other n00bs. /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sad:" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Don't take it that way dude! Everyone talks trash about other players. It's part of any game, really. Just use it as a helpful guide to get better.

(Also it's based off a comedic web video called "You suck at Photoshop" if you actually read the thread and saw the link)

Lesson Two - Overboost and You.

My name is juckto, and you suck at Allegiance. You suck so much that no one likes you, no one wants to be your friend. I'm not your friend, the commander is not your friend, and most importantly of all the Booster button is not your friend. Look, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the reason the Booster doesn't like you is cause of the pounding you give it every night.

The one time I DID drop immediatly is when I suspeceted a stealth HTT to be entering the aleph right after I got through, and since they usually enter from behind the aleph to avoid an eye from anyone exiting the aleph, the prox dropped right away will cover the area behind it.

Otherwise if someone is chasing you through an aleph and are dumb enough to follow, or if you simply need to camp an aleph in defence, then yes, you want to be well outside of it before you drop, but no so far out that they can easily makea 90 turn and hardly take any damage.

Lesson Three - Missiles miss.

My name is juckto, and you suck at Allegiance. It has come to my attention that many of you have failed high school physics, and so I've created some diagrams to explain a few things. Now, if you get bogged down in all the technical details within the diagrams, don't worry. Just ... go have a lie down until your brain stops hurting. We won't notice your absence, I'm sure.

Right Angles.
Targets slower than you.
