    In my quest to become decent with all of the classes, I have been trying support. I do fairly well, IMO. I can play offense and defense depending on the situation, but I need help with a few things.

    1. Airstrikes. I have fairly decent aim with these due to throwing bombs as assault, but one thing i find hard is to get "ground zeros" with these. A ground zero is where you attach an airstike to an enemy pro. I love throwing airstrikes on tanks and gunners, especially when they are deployed. :lol: However, when I fight a smaller opponent like an assault or sniper, I can never get it to stick. Any tips?

    2. Hacking into the enemy turrets. On one game today, I juice-hacked into an enemy rocket turret with no issues. Sometimes hacking an enemy turret can be really hard. I know you typically have to juice, but I was wondering if there was another way to hack a turret without juicing, and if you had any advice for hacking enemy turrets consistently and successfully.

    3. Shotgun not hitting 100%. I have noticed that my shotgun doesn't always cause the enemy damage, even when I get a direct hit. Part of this may be do to lag. If anyone has any suggestions for damaging other pros with the shotgun consistently, please post.

    1. Takes practice, though its probably better to use your air strike for taking out groups and turrets. I'm not that great at it to be honest.

    2. It helps if there is a wave of bots or other pro to distract the turrets. I assume you know you need hack 3. Also make sure no enemy pros see you.
    Long shots and shave ice can be easily hacked if unguarded. I'm still not sure how usefull a stolen longshot is, I do it for lols

    3. Probably lag but if you lead your target that's supposed to help. Again I need some practice with this as well.

    1: smaller hitbox, not much can be said other than practice.
    2: not really worth the effort, your juice would be much more effective taking out 2 rockets than hacking one.
    3: lag related, cant really be helped

    1. Practice makes perfect. Srsly. Learn to lead your target well.
    2. HACK SHAV-ICE. DO IT. Unless you have cover, hacking anything else will be hard as hell to hack, even hacking a shav-ice is hard if you don't have backup.
    3. Lag. Unavoidable. Try to compensate with high RoF builds, so that way even if one shot misses you'll still have 3 more shot at them in less than 2 seconds after it.

    2. You should have a wave of bots and help from a pro or two. Talk to them and tell them to cover you. If you get grappled you lose your hack.
    If you do that you shouldn't need juice.
