WATCH ON IT!
no fucking way
throw strike, look in the direction you want it to go et voila: mu mu mu mu multi kill ill ill ill ill
;DDDD must be kiddding :DDDD atleast i hope for you
Parent
The way your facing determin your airstrike position
yes yes
what do u mean by watching it? if u sit on ur airstrike to hide the smoke, the strike will not go as far and therefore creates less damage, so if u just throw it then it will spread further
bullshit

it's random
Parent
test it for yourself.
Parent
I did this thing once

lean left, lean right, L, R, Forward, A, B, A, A

do that 10 times in a row and your airstrike magically recharges
Parent
Last time i watched in my airstrike and I made a 4 man kill. Best moment in my life.
After you throw it nothing can be changed on the direction it lands..... (jaja if the AS works...)

the direction can be changed after throwing
Parent
the direction of the strike depends on the location you are at the moment the strike comes
Right.... Well it stops being affected just before, but the principle is right :D
Parent
its exactly when or even slightly before the guy talks - after that it does not change anything.

Do realise Ive probably thrown more Airstrikes than mAus has got headshots. :)
Parent
"Right.... Well it stops being affected just before, but the principle is right :D"
Parent
what principle? after a can is thrown the strike will come at some point? agreed.

the question is how and when to control the direction, which was wrongly answered, even if only slightly.

not as bad as the "its where you look"... IF ONLY! :D
Parent
thats... what I said
Parent
the strike comes after he talks, so its not "the moment the strike comes"
Parent
stop acting like an idiot, the moment the strike comes is the moment he stops talking.
anyways obviously you just want to bash me because i said wrong a few times, be my guest.
Parent
well it was too good to resist, true. Saying wrong all the time then actually getting it wrong.

it wasnt that bad really, as you can see others got it far more off the mark.
Parent
impressive totally-missing-the-point skill.
Parent
let it die, have some dignity :(
Parent
it depends where you stand at
noop detected!
a T from where you stand
it strikes in a "T" from the direction you are standing when you hear "incoming".
winner! (affirmative or 'on my way')
Parent
I can confirm this!

You can run away already when the radio guy said it. Nothing will change anymore.
Parent
ye otherwise you would never be able to blow yourself up with the strike unless you're on top of the canister
Parent
the Fop has spoken!
Parent
didnt you have this very old and short little guide? :P
Parent
The website is down as I changed my provider and I haven't saved anything from it.
Maybe someone else saved it!
Parent
i got an 8 man strike on DoE once, this was probably my best moment in ET
8 man strike in a 6vs6 game :o

hax for sure
Parent
2 teammates
Parent
or maybe only 3 enemy's :p
Parent
perhaps he blew himself up too, and knowing stokeZz he's proper mental and schizofrenic so he actually could have blown up two persons in one.
Parent
no, it was a public and they had 8/9 players in the team!
Parent
yeh, i play public sometimes u know! sometimes i get lonley and bored :(
Parent
haha, you're playing for how long? :d

I was just wondering if it had any effect, in some movies you see strange turning when thrown a strike so :)
Parent
ITS ALL ABOUT THE WIND MAN!
what fred said, surprised that some ppl dont know it :o
the only interesting thing about it is the smoke direction which somehow depends on your config :S
yes it does ;o
there was a journal after someone was shooting HS through the smoke, and it was found that in some cfgs the direction of smoke is the opposite
Parent
the smoke is not determinded by the config directly... all in all its random how it appears to you but if you review a demo on PC A with CONFIG A it is blown to one side and on some other PC B with some CONFIG B it might be blown to the other side ;) thats it
Parent
first Ive heard of that? any link to avi/forum post about this? may be different in ET but would be nice to know :)
Parent
Well there was a journal about it some time ago... I had a look whether there are some special CVAR's for it but there werent. Basically that guy had a demo which he loaded with 2 different configs and the smoke was on 2 different sides. Thats why I explain it the way I did. Also the smoke direction appears to be random in matches if you try it out lik 20times it sometimes goes left , sometimes right...
Parent
ruoska style
Ruoska sucks!
Worse fop ever tbfh! <('.'<)
Parent
its funny speccing him on ettv though, he throws his mouse in the direction he wants the strike to go XD
Parent
i never done that. I guess u watched the match where metsuri played as me :-D
Parent
maybe it wasnt you, could of sworn it was though :D
Parent
i dont have 180 turn script :-)
