Belts Tac

Also, keep in mind that range upgrades affect particle speed, rather than particle lifetime... so they reduce the amount you need to lead by, thereby giving you (theoretically) better accuracy at any range.

try zooming in and targeting with your mouse. It's more percise.

TF Tac.... the few times I@ve seen it, rarely does the comm get SRP Killer. It's like a mini TF AB weapon! /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

I have a lag of ~150 and I have no trouble hitting anything with Snipers at range. Maybe it's the joystick vs mouse thing. For one thing, turreting tends to be more effective when you're using a mouse, at least that's what a few vets told me early on.

Js isn't too much trouble when turreting as long as your return to centre force isn't too strong (if you have a ff stick). I have no trouble using snipers with js so I'm guessing you just need more practise Apa.

The bigest thing to understand is that YOUR RETICULE LIES.

In fact, it lies like a really really really bad toupe.

What the recticle really does is say one or more weapons SHOULD hit, IF NOTHING CHANGES. This is why the really good players dont even bother with the rects and lay their guns on by eye. (Examples: Weedman and Aarmstrong) However the one thing you should count on is that in combat, to stay constant is to die quickly. Nor does the recticule take into account ga's, or even racial range bonuses. Net result? you'll have to watch where your bullets are in relation to the target and walk them on, even if the reticle says you should be on target.

That's not entirely accurate - the reticle does take range upgrades into account, as they increase particle speed of the projectiles. Hence, they're in the calculation. What the reticle doesn't consider is your current thrust vector and the target's current thrust vector. It only takes current speed vectors into consideration. And since these vectors are non-zero in 99.8% of cases, that's why the reticle sucks /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

That is not how I aim.

I shotgun a beer and then twist my mustacios into incredibly fine points of precision. Where they point, I shoot, and things explode.

I also know that aarmstrong tapes patches of coon fur to the computer screen and plays a game called the muffin man.

THe thing that I hate about it is even if you successful at bombing thier tac... they don't lose thier @#(!... so your normal recourse of bombing tac doesn't really work... because they can still SB you or destroy your econ and get a new tac up to SB you.
