Judging by your posts I'd expect you to give expert elo 1500 opinion.

first of all: thats the differance between us... i can flame, but if someone asks for help i will try to do it. you will just hate, small man.


secondly - im not cfg nerd, nor aim master. sadly for me rail is important part of game and when i play against rail heavy players i struggle alot, because no matter how much items i take, they will still outrail me.

We're in the same boat, rail is probably the weapon I use the least and miss the most.

c? im trying to help us both :{D

I always found when I concentrated on strafe railing (strafing into rails rather than moving my mouse) my accuracy would generally be higher.

this..AND maybe incorporate zoom railing more into your game..bigger target=easier to hit? :P

Yea, personally I'm not a fan of zooming at close distances (I'm sure I've seen pro's do this) but at longer distances it definitely helps.

i zoom on some angles, not too much tho.

sens doesnt feel okish with zoom

ye i know, its a different sens..but you can change it..cg_zoomsens? or smth

dunno just works well for my higher sens in general

maybe try different values of cg_zoomSensitivity ( default is 1 )

the thing is - i miss simple point and click rails. cant hit a guy whos jumping on mh @ t7.

i try no to go into "rail duels" at all, as i will lose them in 90% of situations, but not being able to counter an item pickup with rail totally kills my game.

you can fix that with zoom railing (instant zoom in/out) ..like counter strike pros did it with awp...just so you realign the cross with the target...:)

Just started with this some days ago(both with lg and rail) and works so much better.

Be patient with shots. Don't just try to hit as soon as you have rail up.

if u dont have lg problems, aim the rail like if u were aiming the lg, dont take mouse of the attack button, that's how av3k rails

and don't move ur mouse while railing, just put ur crosshair on a spot and wait for the enemy to cross there

I purposely lose focus and just stare at the center of the screen, BOOM flickrail.

do some of these:
1) use timenudge
2) try "resetting" your mouse position. He jumps, you move your mouse to what you think it's the point you'll hit, then quickly lift it, put it in the center of your "comfortable zone" again and then hit the motherfucker. Easier done than said.
3) prepare some flame binds and other binds to answer insults and go play some CA all +back and rail. You'll get abused, probably by me too if we are in the same server.
4) play some railwhoring duels 'till you get good at it
5) play a ton of instagib
6) do point 3-4-5 again and again

"play a ton of instagib"

That has never worked for me. I have played instagib for years (used to be the q3 mod I mainly played) and I'm still good at it, but for me it doesn't translate to regular modes very well. Especially if you play insta with the normal reload cycle because then you have 1.5s to align your shot every time your opponent misses you, which often not the case in regular modes (because they can shoot you with weapons with shorter reload cycles).

any tips to improve my rail consistency, cause usually i can miss guys going up the jump pad :X

instagib helps that.
And obviously you don't have to play only that mod or you'll get bad habits.

Point and click.
Abuse it a lot.
Cannot be easier.

Nymph beat me to it. Point and click.

click mouse1
and
BAM!

and type "lol" because writing lol is good.

Wait railing: Waiting for enemy to cross into your crosshair, then depress button.

Active railing: Placing crosshair over enemy and clicking - usually flicks.

Wait railing cfg: cg_predictlocalrailshots 0;cg_drawcrosshair 7(large size); cl_timenudge 0 to -10

Active railing cfg: cg_predictlocalrailshots 1; cg_drawcrosshair 2 (any size); cl_timenudge -20

Timenudge updates the enemy position, so you no longer need to 'feel' the server lag to be able to line up shots, just place crosshair on enemy and rail him.


You can combine them or whatever. It really depends on the player and what distracts you. If you can't feel the server lag and cant adjust your rail based on it, then you use predictlocalrailshots 1. I asked stermy/toxjq about this specifically, and they say they can't use 0, because it updates too slowly and the rail trail looks false (even though 0 is more precise)

Also remember that keel model needs r_lodbias -2 and tankjr needs r_lodbias 2

There is quite a difference in sizes. If you are wait railing with tankjr on lodbias -2, you will miss because it's too big, so when you think it has entered your crosshair, it hasn't yet. The model is drawn too big.

hahahha the guy whom i got on ignore gave the best advice so far...

Error: The target user can't receive judgements (well, I tried) thanks for this post.

get a maths phd

i got time and relative dimension in space phd.

Railwhore tutorial for noobs or 70% rail for everyone:
1. cg_railtrailtime 0
2. use ONLY Wait railing: Waiting for enemy to cross into your crosshair, then press button.

working with any gamesettings, crosshairs and devices.

/thread

get ping 50-60

also cmds you should look into:

enemymodel: keel is prolly better for rail then tank
playerlean: lower values might fuck up ur aim
r_lodbias: reducing the quality of the textures i.e. models appear smaller, thus u have to aim more precise

that's an interesting point that could actually work, making the models smaller and force yourself to be more precise D:

I've played keel and lodbias 2 since ql came out, people who have used my cfg always found this weird but I can't imagine playing with anything else

I've tried that with the thought in mind as 'if i'm a little off it will still hit because the enemy model is actually bigger than r_lodbias 2'

BUT it didn't fucking help. This is because when you wait rail on a smaller model, half the model is already in your crosshair(but you don't know), and if you have high ping the model will already be passed your crosshair when you depress click because it is so small.

So taking ping and reaction time into effect, the best model for railing is tankjr r_lodbias 2, because it is the best fit for the hitbox (except when jumping, but you learn where to shoot that fat fuck)

i have problems with tanks left/right movements of his upper torso in conjunction with anticipating where to shoot my rockets. the sickest rockets i used to have where before the hitbox change though. :x

I like tankjr with r_lodbias 2 - look at his chicken feet, aim there when he jumps or when people try to juke you so you can bounce them. Don't aim above his groin for directs rockets, it's just that easy.

Change your rail trail style, so even if you miss it, you miss with style and won't feel so bad. But for real, it always seems to hit better when you have a thicker trail.

true, whenever i dont use raltrailtime 1, i put the beam wide as fuck and it just looks so cool to shoot at anything

Ye, it's cool to mess around with the different options, I usually remove the core beam and just use the circles with different segment lengths. Makes it look bright as hell but it feels bad shooting it if you feel like you are lagging or something kinda :D

zoom

cg_DrawCrosshair 7 or cheats

Listen to people who say "point and click".
It may sound like useless advice, but if you actually pay attention to what you have been doing all time while railing, you'd be surprised how much useless movements, unnecessary thinking and other stupid things you do with rail instead of just aiming onto enemy and clicking the shoot button.

My sens is pretty high and my rail acc is pretty good. Use the + crosshair.

For LG, focus on the enemy and not the crosshair. Wide beam is my favourite. :D

remove your crosshair

mby you rush your shots because you are afraid of the enemy fire, try to dodge first and shoot after

I aim rail like I do shotgun.

*ADDING TO FAVORITES*

I JUST CAN'T SUSTAIN THE AV3K STYLE OF RAILING
