Ummm, what Osiris said! The difference between a bad HWGuy and a good one is mobility. When dueling a Solly do a jump strafe. If you can time the jumps to avoid their rockets, even better. When dueling another HWGuy, try to get in close and do a tight, quick circle strafe. Run rings around them! If you see another HWGuy running at you with his shotty out, he's not insane. He's closing quick to do the circle kill with his AC.

like everybody nows around here, i always play medic.

Learn how to conc. Play concmaps for a couple of weeks. Once your good at them, you can use it in game to outconc the enem or take that last cap at warpath just before the other team is able to take the second again.

I asure you, once you're good at concing it is a great help in game.

Try doing some exercises by yourself as Scout. Conc yourself, then stand still and shoot the wall with your nailgun. The markings will show how good your aim is. At first just try to hit one spot consistently. Then try to trace a straight line across the wall, or a diagonal line. Once you get good, try the same exercises while moving or from a longer distance. This can be super tough, but if you can master it with a nailgun, you'll absolutely own with the AC.


Ah this is what gets a lot of people. The nails you see on your screen are actually an illusion. While it looks like the nails go in a figure eight, they are actually all going to one spot. If you don't move your mouse your true aim doens't move either. Same goes with the HW bullets and shotty marks. What you see isn't where it really hit. To get good while conced you should try soldier. The rockets aren't part of the illusion and go where your true aim is.

Anytime your interested Gala, I'll help you out the best I can. As you know I have some skillz at most classes. I am not the best at any class but I can play most pretty well. Contact me in one of the many ways you know how to and I will do what I can to help you out. Actually this invite goes to any Villun that might be interested in a session with the Nipple, heheh. If you learn anything, you may learn some of the tricks I've picked up over my loooooong TFC career.

Thanks for the advice! It sounds like I'm one of many who are going down the completely wrong track trying to get good conc aim. Any advice for practicing conc aim by yourself? It's hard to find someone who is willing to just stand there and conc you for an hour.

It is treu that the eight you shoot in is only an illussion. You can see it the best when your playing sniper. Just aim with yourr rifle at the wall, so you see the red dot, and let somebody conc you. you will see that your dot stays on the same place but that your rifle is going in an eight.

I think one of the latest versions of NEO - TF included a command to conc yourself at your leasiure. Add a couple of bots to such a server and you've got yourself a way to practice. I'm not sure on all the details but Raz used to have such a server running (and probably would tell you how to set it up).
