CAn someone help this panzy on to the cassino rooftops

[AShkon]

Guys, I have tried, and tried again.

I keep dieing everytime I try to panzer jump in cassino.
The one with the broken wall... up on the second floor.
Its suppose to be the easiest way up there but I just die.

What am I doing wrong to die.
Am I aiming incorrectly,
Am I mistiming my jump with trigger
Am I suppose to press against the wall....?


At this time... I have seen the demo... but I cant replicate it
I dont know if he presses anything particular.
I press jump and fire almost simulatenously.... doesnt work...
I leave a bit of pause betwween buttons... doesnt work
I've tried to do it in both scoped and none scope.

Its about timing the jump. The way everyone does it from what I have seen is shoot the panzer and jump straigh away. The panzer take longer to shoot (animation before shooting) so the jump should mean you are off the ground before the panzer explodes.

But, your problem may be something different. Post a demo and hopefully one of the guys with UO can give you some pointers. Other than that just practice.

I am not the best at Panzer jumps but getting better. To avoid the timing problem pointed out by Drofder, (i.e. the animation time for firing the Panzer) I have started aiming down the sight - this means when you press the trigger it fires immediately.

That jump really is an easy one. I get on wall back up as far as I can, keep my finger on 'back' (the S key), aim down sight, jump and then a fraction of a second later press fire, the whole time with the s key depressed. That does the trick.

However, I am doubting that is your problem. Sounds to me as though you may have downloaded a mod that includes a more powerful panzer - even when I screw up that jump, I do not kill myself. I was trying one of the panzer jumps on Carentan_uo the other day on an empty server and had the same problem, that I blew myself up each time I fired the Panzer. When I moved to another server, I had no problem. In other words, that particular server had tweaked the panzer settings to make it more powerful.

Two things to try

1. If you are using devmap, try going in to your Call of Duty folder and deleting all mods from the root folder and from your uo folder. Then have another go
2. Go onto an empty server in the multiplayer game by setting your filters to show empty servers and refreshing list. That way no interfering mods you may have on your machine will get in the way.

Let me know if any of that helps.

Merry Xmas

yes, what he said. It is impossible on United Offensive to kill yourself with a panzerfraust if you have full health. So as he said go to your main folder blah blah blah. Also he gave a very good explanation, but in case you want an alternate explanation (though it is very similar) here is my unoffical Panzer Jumping tutorial i made for my Soviet's Menu Mod for CoDJumper in Call of Duty 1 which also includes distance panzer jumping.

Panzer Jumping is quite a bit like nade jumping but
with a few small differences. The power of a panzerfraust
is much lower than the power of a grenade, so when
jumping you dont need to aim fairly far away to not kill
yourself. And secondly, the timing is much easier to judge.

To panzerfraust jump, first put your back to the obstacle
you wish to get on top of. Then aim the panzefraust straight down or
roughly five feet away. Next is the timing.
When you click to fire your panzerfraust will point
towards the target, then the projectile will fly. To
successfully jump click to fire, and when the panzerfraust
has pointed at the target but has not shot, jump and move
backwards. The panzerfraust should propel you onto your
target.

There are two ways to panzerfraust jump over a distance.
The first way is to run and when you are jumping in the air,
fire the panzerfraust at the ground to give you extra height.
Note that this can only be done when you are on a ledge
fairly, but not too far, off the ground.

The second way is to run backwards and as you jump, shoot
your panzerfraust at the ledge from which you are jumping
from. There is one other technique that is much more
advanced that I would recommend only for extremely advanced
jumpers. Run foward, and jump with panzerfraust in hand,
while in the air, let go of your foward key and spin, hold
the run backwards key, and shoot the ledge behind you,
quickly spinning and holding your foward key once more.

Thank you for your time, I hope this tutorial helped you.

and also heres a demo of about 5 quick panzer jumps on cassino for you to look at for a visual if you want...

The power of a panzerfraust is much lower than the power of a grenade

Shouldn't that be higher.
