Skyhammer's Airstrike or Grenade Spots?

(bubblesKeyboard) #1

I think there should be some sort of indicator when Sky holds his airstrike to tell the player where it will nade and where it will airstrike.

So far I have had times where it has been a nade when it should have been an airstrike and an airstrike where it should have been a nade.

On underground, the whole map is underground. This means when I Q it should be a nade 100% of the time. However sometimes it calls down airstrikes that do nothing but increase cool down time.

In some places where the roof has a small hole in it, if you throw down an airstrike it will call one down and not go into the room at all

Why not just give players the option to choose whether its a nade or airstrike? Both would have full cooldown but it helps Sky on maps such as underground.

Just click the quick bind for whichever ability you want. It will be on 4 or 5 IIRC. That’s what I do. I only use Q on Fragger and medics.

I think you have misunderstood or maybe I have? I think the issue is Skyhammers airstrike maker can sometimes act as a grenade when an airstrike is not available.

Its not always apparent why it sometimes does one or the other

No. Sky’s nade isn’t as powerful as Fraggers, you can’t cook it, and he only has one. The ability to use them as a grenade was made so he wouldn’t be useless in indoor maps

you misunderstand

How would you do this so, if the game only figures out whether the airstrike can be completed once the grenade/marker lands at the final spot? Maybe it could give you a hint on your crosshair depending on where you aim at, at least if you pull out the airstrike tool rather than use the quick bind.

Or perhaps it already does that? I doubt it but I have never tried it.

I guess I did. I thought the OP was talking about not knowing which grenade they had out. My bad.
