Alright, I’m gonna keep an eye out for that, though I can’t agree with the jumping part, Scouts and Sollies can still ‘stop’ moving in mid-air and again, everything I can do is guessing in that moment. Or am I wrong?

uhm you mean airstrafing i assume. and yeah, ofc every class can do that. ok, gonna stay on scouts here: if the scout isnt accelerated by some explosive, the airstrafing he can do while jumping is fairly small compared to the instant dodging he can do on foot. in conclusion hes much easier to hit when he jumps (when he jumps at all). but thats common knowledge, focus on my other tip instead.

edit:
also, when you are thinking of scouts/sollis rocketjumping or rocketsurfing etc with acceleration, think of it in an mathematical way. the sorter the distance your nade has to travel, the more likely it won’t be dodged due to airstrafing.

only exception is when the solly/scout was just catapulted/rocketjumped since most ppl begin airstrafing while falling down afaik so you could try to go for the nade-hit before they reach their peak with the jump (since its unlikely they are already airstrafing while ascending).

Deathmatch and pubs,
Best way by far

Use charge ‘n targe so you’re forced to shoot pipes.

Deathmatch servers.

Pipes are simple prediction of movement. If a scout is focusing on killing you, he is not focusing on dodging (unless he’s shocky) so this is when you use normal prediction (ie. scout jumps sideways from badlands train -> most likely he’ll doublejump back the same way).

But when a scout is focusing on dodging, his movement is not predictable and all that goes out of the window. This is also the reason it can feel more difficult to pipe scouts from lower divisions because they tend to take more head-on and erratic/unintelligent paths. Best you can do then is spam and hope, or use a sticky to mess up their movement.

No, I don’t mean airstrafing. For example they stand on a train @ badlands middle.
They do Ctrl => Space => A/D => D/A.
If you jump to the right/left, you can ‘stop’ moving by pressing the other strafe key which lets you fall down straight.
That’s what I meant. How can I be 100% sure that I hit them without being lucky?
