With the comeback of hawken in the form of hawakening, I've come back to this video to tey and remember the basics. I think back in the day, I used to fly too much, but now that I'm hetting back into things, I find that I have an aversion to gettimg my mech's feet off the ground. I'm tryimg to figure out what the rigjt time to take to the air is.
I once asked Condom how to improve after he beat me in a 1v1 every time (scout vs scout) and he was like "Dodge less and shoot more". And he was actually right lol
Yeah, the effectiveness of dodging around out in the open roughly follows an inverted U curve as the accuracy and maneuvering abilities of both you and your opponent increase. At some point you're gonna be losing more damage from your own missed shots due to your movement when you throw your aim off than you're going to be avoiding from the other person. This also partially explains why just strafing around on one or more orbs is such a dominant tactic at the highest levels of play especially in sustained mechs and why Advanced Repair Kit/Extractor/Composite Armor or Basic Deflectors is stronger than e.g. Air Compressor/Deflectors/Basic Fuel Converter in uniformly high MMR matches. He's right to say that's a good portion of the reason why you were losing against him (because he could likely just force damage races and outaim you), but against
It's been really long since I played Hawken... Last time i commented one one of your videos you were like "if you want i could teach you some stuff if i happen to be online" and I was like "oh that would be awesome" And then i got busy with life, and then i started having techincal problems after that... When i try to log in i just get a "meteor servers are unreachable" message. Idk, i submited a ticket and i havent' heard from support yet. I've been playing MechWarrior Online lately lol. I started playing and immediately started headshoting people with slow ballistics and people were like "awesome aim man" because when you die the game makes you spectate your teammates lol Anyways hopefully i'll get my account back at some point :/ My alt account works, but i hate using my alt account haha
When did you file the ticket and when's the last time you tried to play? They aren't processing many prior to the game's relaunch, but you should be able to get something done about a bug keeping you from logging in. You can try filing another ticket or messaging czerofive on the Discord here: hwkn.ch/
