using physics to your advantage with wings

[lorductape]

the thing that annoyed me the most about wings was trying to decend to make a kill (for example, in the world of pain) if they're looking at you. I never wanted to get too close, and would jump up again when i got close to the ground and shot off a few incase they jumped. Then I discovered the physics that the game uses. Now, i've learned that if you decend rapidly and fall very close to the ground, and at yorur lowest point shoot a few shots, the physics of the game will make the shots go in a downward direction and kill the noob trying to stare you down. of course, this requires knowing how far you can safely fall before they can kill you...

So your point is...

Yes, this is used on some servers, but not most of them. Then the only way to kill wg with is either gm, another wg, or just bad play by him. (eg you kill him another way). But even without this, wg is one of the most powerful flags on the map.

It depends on the jump count as to how powerful wg becomes when _shotsKeepVerticalVelocity is on, but it does make it easier to kill winged tanks if you know what you are doing.

ya thats true but you have to watch out if u get to close to the ground and the noob tank(lol)jumps then u have to have EXTREMELY fast reflectses(i hope i spelled that right)anyway)to jump out and kill the guy when he jumps

velocity can help you but can also disadvantage you (if the other person knows there is velocity) when you have wings.

yes i agree velocity can help u,but the best way is to get behind the guy get far away and use the vleocity to ZZZZAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP them hehe

you're misunderstanding the purpose of my post- it's to give a strategy for using wings, not to kill wings.

and you're right, the velocity is important. the world of pain is the only map i know of that, right now, has this ability (and it does it GREAT.)

[A Vicious Muffin]

Even if other maps have this capability, world of pain's bullet speed is astoundingly fast. Some other servers could make it hard, but not impossible to dodge.

Another map (semi-popular) that uses vertical shot velocity is Hide and Seek Hills, hosted by Brad.

I've used it a couple of times, and though it's not active on either of my servers at the moment, I may add it again.
