Practicing with guns

[massdriver]

As it seems you are not using your strafing buttons, try to fly not only straight to the target but sidewise.

Watch this several times compared with your Video.

works for a duel mode, but usually most fun here are group fights with lovely shield-running or running after single target.

Bumping video
nobody has any idea of what's the cause of the extremely bad aiming?

Probably the extremely bad flying, no offense.

Dude, don't just go around saying "no offense" like it makes stuff less offensive, it doesn't:dry:
I was a bit distracted cuz I was recording, but I'm most of the time flying to the sides to evade shots anyways, at that I was just flying to try and hit, but even if I'm stading still the mouse slides around, sometimes even worse.

Different gun projectile speed doesn't matter that much when jousting.
It's quite hard, but you have to anticipate your opponent's moves
. Aiming for the cross doesn't work always.
Also, PGCs aren't too good
when talking about DPS, 6.67
(correct me if I am wrong) is well, weird refire.
You could try sliding. And try not to move in a straight line..
The point is, to adapt your tactic to enemy's tactic, so you can
counter it.. Only way to do it is to keep fighting him..
When I'm trying it, it takes me maybe 10-15 mins to figure out every his move,
And I know how to avoid it, or at least make em less dangerous..
This often costs some nanobots untill you can start dealing damage..

Maybe, but what other way is there to say it, you wanted to know whats wrong:laugh:

The slides on your turns are way too long and way too linear, you just way too much, you dont use strafe at all, you dont use reverse at all, you dont use engine kill right.

Technically theres nothing wrong with the aim in that video, your mouse doesnt slide away, your aim just needs some improvement but its pretty much impossible to improve with that kind of flying.

'K, I'm in Conn right now with a Stinger, did several duels and I can't actually believe I won once:shok::shok::shok:
Are you serious??????!!!! How can I ever win with guns???????:blink:

Congratz, you are now a better pilot than me in terms of win:loss ratio.

Cause even 1:1000 is still better than a 0:anything.

I use them all the time, I think more than other people, but yeah I'm doing anything in that video, the fraps thingy on the corner was distracting me:laugh:

Though somebody already told me not to go too linear, but when I don't I don't hit.

There's EVERYTHING wrong with my aiming, you could see it never ever sticks to the dot and keeps sliding away, the flying doesn't matter, in fact yeah it was sucking I was taking hits.

And since I'm always evading I need to spray, but with that aim like 5 bullets of each 10 full weapon shots actually hit when using lasers or purples, not using shotguns since I really doubt practicing with them would do any good for me if I'm gonna use lasers mostly and not 2.00s

This. Your turning is somewhat slower than that of a sperm whale - that's your main problem, not the aiming. Good news though - fixing that is somewhat more straightforward than fixing your aim. I highly suggest taking Igor up on his offer of teaching you the basics of sliding and boxing.

To be honest, I'd be up for taking that offer if Luka doesn't want it. :lol:

Its not supposed to stick to the reticule all the time bro. Hell, even I cant hold it on it 100% of the time, Im not a robot. You are supposed to aim your crosshair, you aim where the ship moves, thats how you hit.

And since I'm always evading

Thats the thing, you're not. What you see in that video is not evading, its flying in a straight line over and over again.

To be honest, I'd be up for taking that offer if Luka doesn't want it. :lol:

Feel free to message me when you're in Conn, I dont mind.
