i play this game for almost a year and find its extremely hard to train scout. I watched multiple frag video and the scout crossair is always stay on his target like aimbot given scout self movement and the target movement(could be other scout).

Im pretty confident with my scout since i was the last man standing on several arena maps multiple times but to aim like those frag video is just another level.

Same go to Rocket air shot and demo gernade launcher.... its so hard to hit a moving target ~_~

is there a secret to train scout skill?

be wary of your movements and dont aim with your mouse!

Scout for me is lining up the crosshairs with the enemy rather than moving my crosshairs towards the enemy.

I'm a terrible scout though

There are multiple ways you can aim. Tracking is the hardest, and requires you to constantly have the crosshair over your opponent. Scout vs scout it's pretty impossible to track, vs something like a solly its not that hard, since you mainly just have to adjust your own movement.

Flicking is quickly moving your mouse towards your target, and clicking when you are over it. Pretty impossible to dodge against, but not always reliable to aim with.

The last alternative is to not move your mouse, and to aim with your movement, and click when the enemy is in your crosshair. It's the easiest to do, and pretty much guarantees you a hit, but your movement pattern becomes more predictable.

In the end you'll end up using a combination of those forms. Depends on your sensitivity and your dodging etc.

The new spy gun is fucking broken

It makes no sense how much damage it does with little actual repercussion.

Yes it is :D it crits for 144 or something. No more need for backstabs or disguises, just use that gun and dead ringer when you are in danger.

Exactly. It's like the ambassador minus any skill or problems involved.

Meh, 8 more damage. It's an obvious upgrade but not really broken

Not necessarily. It does have a downside, but that only applies to the default Invisibility Watch and the Cloak and Dagger, but not the Dead Ringer. Therefore, it's only a direct upgrade from the default Revolver if you're using the Dead Ringer.

Even still, the downside should apply, but simply doesn't for whatever reason.

I play the soldier a lot and theres just a rhythm you get into when blasting off rockets that makes it pretty easy to get good hits in. Granted thats not the same as almost every other weapon because rockets have a huge blast radius, but I feel like practicing just helps to develop good timings for shots

The new revolver is amaaaaaaaaazing. Too bad the ambassador aim is so inconsistent because I'd prefer headshots.

New revolver > old > ambassador :\

2 shots snipers.......... 1st shot happen during scope, 2nd happen when unscoped... even better than backstab!

you guys have to play arena with that new spy gun and see how spy just run around killing sniper + pyro + scout....
