homeloard Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 How far back do Retro Thrusters put you. Just trying to figure out if it is worth changing to Retro from full tiered Koiogran. I am using the Koiogran when I see someone coming right at me I key it and am right on their tail and can generally take them out. If the Retro puts you back less than 1000m it could set you up for a big surprise. Don't you have to use the camera to see how far back they are also? Thanks in advance.

Foambreaker Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Far enough back that your pain in the butt will become a target in your crosshairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luneward Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 You still have to really practice at it - and make sure not to boost right after you use them. I just started using them, and on more than a few occasions I've boosted backwards, only to shoot right back past my target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reclipsed Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm loving Retro Thrusters on my scout. Puts my 6 to my 12 90% of the time, I just need to practice with my main weapon to gain full effects. I'm thinking about trying the 90 degree turn one, is it any good? Seems like that would be the best one against a Gunship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom_VI Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Its like a reverse barrel roll in terms of distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foambreaker Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I didn't like the 90 degree one as much because, I sometimes hit things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
