I am a Good shot with sniper and I can airshot sometimes with soldier.
But I feel I can be better and want to improve my game more so.
I was a highlander soldier for a team then it kinda feel apart and never got my medal. (sadface)

Im iffy on what div i was in sorry.
But I want to just become more consistent with landing direct his with the stock rocket launcher.
as for sniper I need to learn to counter sniper better and my quick scoping on classes that run right for me pyros. :P
like i said im decent at sniper and soldiers but my hits are not consistent and I could do with some tips for both that are not he genaric youtube stuff thats all the same.

As for times available, I goto high school so don't get home till 2:30pm
Eastern Time Zone.
I was a iron soldier.

I'm not sure why you think getting a mentor will improve your DM magically. Only way to 'land more directs with stock rl' is to practice.
Might want to edit the OP and include more info as well as use decent grammar/spelling

If its "all the same stuff" then people are saying it for a reason. IT MIGHT WORK

It sounds like you mostly want help with your DM, so just practice. A mentor won't help you with that.

If you want help with the other stuff, then get on a team so that you can record demos of yourself playing in official scrims and matches, and then maybe you'll get a mentor that can watch through them with you.

What division, class, and game mode (sixes or highlander) do you wanna play? People can mentor you to play your class better and improve your game sense, but they can't really mentor you on how to aim really.

...um...highlander encompasses KOTH and 5CP, not just payload maps. And like everyone previously mentioned, no one can teach you how to "aim." You could always try altering your sensitivity to something more comfortable (there are guides on how to find an ideal mouse sens.), and it takes time to improve aiming. There's also a few guides out there that can explain the whole cl_interp thing as ib mentioned. I also recommend looking up what lag compensation & hitboxes are so that you can understand the whole "I hit <this person> but no damage :("

Also, don't just play on payload maps because in order to be more versatile and improve your game sense, you need to try/play with all the modes, or at least the ones in HL if that is what you are interested in.

Have you done research on lag compensation, cl_interp, and hitboxes yet? Purrhaps that is impeding your ability to land hits.

"Team Fortress 2, being based on the Source Engine, is generally configured to make use of lag compensation. Lag compensation is most commonly the technical reason behind cases of kills or actions that would otherwise seem infeasible in given circumstances; for example, when players perceive themselves to have been "shot through a wall" by a Sniper."

Well. Just aim for the head.

EDIT: It *might* be sv_showhitboxes 1, but you have to have sv_cheats on. That was 2 years ago, I don't know if the command still works.
