Cuz I suck at hooming the missile? :wink:

Tried that on chapel and understood that I have no idea how far the rocket actually is to manoeuvre it somewhere

It still moves pretty fast. Unless you’re really firing it across the entire map, you generally need to point it in the direction you want it to go immediately. Firing it straight into the air works well too, since it won’t zoom off into a wall right away.

I tried to target the rocket behind a rock cover at last obj on Chapel, always hits the rock, with camera I would at least know what I’m doing wrong

They changed Aimee’s snitch because it used to be a camera…I doubt they’re gonna suddenly add a camera to Jav’s missile.

Join an empty server and just practice it. Generally speaking, if you let the rocket fly past the rock and then target the rock itself, it will hit the ground as it tries to hook downwards

agreed, the rocket is very agile, so let it go ahead a bit before turning it in whatever direction. Unless the target is in open area where you can just point it at an enemy/ies for easy instagib, its generally good to try and juke the rocket around only at the last moment, e.g. around a corner.

I’ve asked for the same camera mode in another post. I don’t even see the point of the current mode, it’s not like you can really control a fast rocket in front of you. It’s even annoying me because it keeps switching to that mode at random.

There are ways to balance this, rocket in cam mode would be slower, and could be shot mid-air.

I start to think that guided rocket is too fast for it’s own good. Both the speed and manouverability. But maybe that’s a good thing? Having it be too easy to controll would also not be so fun to deal with either. I don’t know anymore.

Moving to merc discussions.

except people with skill would still control it how they want, it’s middle players and novice guys who would suffer as always

That’s sort of the point though. It even says in the dev video that the guided mode is there to reward skilled players.
