Very fast shooting
I rode with a leader in observer mode to pick up some tips. When he shot, it was three shots in very quick succession which proved very effective.
I fire by rapid left-clicking. Is there a way to fire faster, or in a cluster?
I'm using WindowsXP btw.
Thanks

config
another alternative- use three letters for shooting ( I use q,w,e) to get decent 3shot bursts.
you have to add in a line(s) to your config:
same line repeated 2 more times with W and E gives you 3 (or more) shooting buttons.
here's how to get to config: http://my.bzflag.org/w/Config_File
you have to add in a line(s) to your config:
Code: Select all
bind Q down fire

it says it cant open because it doesn't have the right program to open the config file what would you recommend

Re: Very fast shooting
If you hold down enter you fire very quickly but there is a delay between the first and second shots.
Re: Very fast shooting
i despise shooting all yer shots cause another tank might join the frenzy and shoot at u making u jump with no shots to fire back. but its really good if u know no tanks will come and blow u up. really effective though. took me by surprise.

Re: Very fast shooting
I have Q, E and scroll to shoot, use Q E for a two shot burst then shoot the last one when they land, or on MW2 you can do the scroll to shoot because the reload is so fast

Re: Very fast shooting
As people have suggested here. Mapping q w e keys is the best way. I also map 123 to various zoom levels. My left hand fingers are always on these 6 keys. By jerking with a mouse forward and to a side (at say an arc) to the right and slamming your 3 LH fingers nearly at the same time, you get a very tight spread of bullets shooting in the direction your tank was pointing, but each at a slightly different trajectory.
This is by far the best way to too down a tank. Eventually you learn to shoot may be 2 bullets and place a third at a slightly later time (I'm talking milliseconds delay), these shooting patterns are hard to avoid even by the most experienced players. You have to randomize the shots a bit. Believe me it works.

Re: Very fast shooting
You can't say that the q w e mapping is simply the best. I agree that having three keys assigned to shooting is very practical, but doesn't necessarily have to be the best. A lot of good players mainly use the scroll wheel to shoot. Depending on mouse, you can get great spreads by using the wheel. Some people use a combination of left mouse click and maybe two keys assigned to shoot. There are many variations. I use w e r, left mouse button and the scroll wheel to shoot. Which leaves me with many alternatives.
Just try it out, play around in the config.cfg file a bit and see what you like best.
