Soldier's Sensitivity

14 years ago

So, I’m looking to improve my soldier in addition to my medic. But as Soldier, I can’t find that sweet sensitivity I need. I use a 2000dpi mouse with no acceleration and ingame sensitivity of 6 (the current max, but I used to go 13.5 before. Freaking high, I know). This sensitivity suits me, and I’m very comfortable with it, but I find it damn hard to hit aerials. If I go higher, I generally become shit. Any lower, and I can’t rj without taking massive damage+no distance (ie failjump) and my reaction time decreases as hell, but I hit more aerials. But as it stands, with my current sensitivity, aerials are a rarity. I’ve tried practising with lower sensitivity but 4 points in a mix is just pathetic.

Advice please. I want my soldiering to be better than it is now =]

there isnt a “magical sensitivity” that will make you hit airshots… if you feel comfortable with your current sens, then just practice.

Go lower and practice practice practice, it’s not too hard to get used to a sens within a few hours of dm and jump maps.

Then turris turris turris till you hit 100% air shots :D

I find turris not helpfull for dem airshootz tbh. For me atleast. Different situation and an angle you only get around spire.

anything really, it trains y-axis muscle memory that you rarely get in other types of play.

You need a good balance, high enough to do quick reaction shots on scouts and to do a quick rocket jump without it being readable by the enemy to much, then low enough so that you are accurate and can aim with the shotgun to a consistent level.

Mine is around 25cm/360, as I played scout my shotgun aim pretty much carries be when I play soldier.

My demoman sens. is lower though, I have it at 35cm/360.

As with the other 20 billion topics of a similar nature, it’s just down to personal preference, but I believe with soldier there should be a balance between high and low as the two main weapons that you have are different to each other.
