    War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircraft, and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
    SURPRISE (again)! A Mann’s Guide to the Huntsman is real. It wasn’t a bait-and-switch, this is a double feature.
    Some people think that gaming guides should teach the viewer how to use an item or a character in the most optimal, effective way possible. Some people think that guides have to be a serious, well-informed take on a technique or style of play. Some people are stupid. Why bother being optimal with a weapon when you can be a true Mann Co. Mercenary and run around using it like a bumbling idiot? It's way more fun if you do that.

  • @RdTrler
    @RdTrler 5 місяців тому +1489

    Fun fact: because the player's projectile hitbox is a giant cube that doesn't rotate, some angles are easier to hit. That's why the questionable arrows.
    See, if you shoot Northeast, Northwest, Southeast or Southwest, you can get shots like 5:35.
    So clearly you have to put your Chess game hat on, and think like a Bishop piece. And sniff glue.

    In regards to the whole “the stock can still do all the close range stuff” bit, I do think it’s worth mentioning that it’s WAY easier to do all that with the huntsman. Sure you CAN quick scope at point blank range, but most people aren’t going to be able to do that reliably. I sure can’t, but huntsman flicks are a lot easier to get the hang of.

      TF2 players have this thing about assuming that anyone who even remotely tries to play Sniper seriously is some master who can hit every possible quickscope, to the point that it dominates discussions about the class as if it were just some built-in thing literally anyone can do from the first time they pick up the game.

      @@BeesechurgerProductions im pretty sure most balance discussion, regardless of game, is centered around mid/high level play. iirc thats why the base jumper was nerfed in JI. doesnt really make sense to me for discussion to center around lower levels of play when discussing the potential of a given weapon/character.

      @nettalie4435 4 місяці тому +8

      @@snwoop7921 Even mid to high level players are gonna struggle with close range quickscopes though.
      Especially if your opponent actually employs the obviously overpowered tactic of... Strafing instead of running straight at you. In fact id argue that they are even harder to get down in high level play in a lot of situations since high level players usually know not to approach pretty much any class in a predictable manner, much less a sniper.
      The only ones able to reliably pull this off are either bots, cheaters or people who have so much experience playing sniper that they fall out of any reasonable degree of balance discussion concerning the remainder of the playerbase.
      Sniper may be frustrating to fight at times, but frustrating and nerf worthy are two pretty distinct things. Its why a lot of balance discussion confuses me because for some reason people deem soldiers or demos (albeit powerful) perfectly fine balance wise despite the fact they can delete half a team on their own under the right circumstances without even requiring all that much mechanical skill, but the squishy pick class specialized in long range is the overpowered one because top level players can make up for the weakness through their mechanical skill to save themselves in a clutch situation or make picks that are game winning.
      I know as well as any other how unfun it is to get killed by snipers, I frequently play medic and occasionally heavy so usually im pretty high priority, but the weird reputation sniper has built up over the recent years feels (at least imo) very overblown, if not downright disingenuous at times.
      The real balancing issues affecting sniper lie within his unlocks in my eyes, jarate is one of the most powerful tools he has available, especially since its so spammable and turns the bushwacka from a niche tool into almost a straight upgrade, while the bazaar bargain effectively erases its own downside if youre at least somewhat competent at sniper. And dont even get me started on stuff like the two "I turned your class gimmick off for free" shields.

    The points made at 7:00 pretty much summarise all my success with the huntsman completely. Rather the learning how to calculate the projectile in a fluid environment it's far easier to just get used to where the various "high probability" areas are on a map.
    Every map has those chokes, doorways, corridors, and corners where there are always going to have people flowing through them. So once you know the rough head height angle to fire the arrow, it's a super high chance it's going to hit -someone-.
