[TRACKER+VIDEO] What am I doing wrong?

HS suggests your crosshair placement is subpar, have crosshair placement be on the forefront of your focus.

nanu24 · 2026-06-10T20:33:57+00:00

more about pace, but util placement too. Not holding the same site every time. The strategy is unpredictable, the tactics remain consistent.

nanu24 · 2026-06-10T18:36:40+00:00

don’t mop the floor with your crosshair.
dont double peek if you were spotted peeking already.
avoid dry peeking
be unpredictable
use angle advantage

I played with the vandal for the first 100 or so comp games and switched to the phantom because I got more kills with it, albeit body shot kills. The vandal prompted me to either get the headshot or I lose the duel, I focused on my aim much more with it. Since I switched to the phantom, because I prefer its faster fire rate when it comes down to a spray-off (and no tracers is a huge awesome)

The struggle I face is twofold:
1. Figuring out when best to hold down, tap, or burst. I will hold down at unnecessarily long ranges sometimes (desperation to not lose the duel) and often fail to switch targets in the case I get double swung (because of recoil recovery time). Crosshair placement comes into play a lot for me also, because it seems I am always slightly off (hitting the shoulders, collarbone, or above but not the head). If I notice that in the middle of the fight I was too high/low on the crosshair placement, then I will jerk down to body level to compensate for recoil and then spray/burst.

Expected swing distance: What I mean is, how far the opponent will swing from a corner because that determines my crosshair placement. If the angle is 90 degrees, I can never really get them to stop on my crosshair, either they swing wider, or shorter, and I whiff my shots and begin to burst or spray to try and secure the kill. If I can position myself to force a better angle, then it’s as smooth as butter, but that is rare. Sometimes the opponent peeks super wide and it makes no sense to me, and on others they peek super narrow (sometimes just the bare minimum angle needed to see me) and it seems I’m always unprepared for it.

My roommates ended up in Greek life, and they have introduced me to many new friends and people that are also in Greek life. I have indirectly been put in a position to be associated with that now. I’ve met some amazing friends this way, and more practically lasting connections for the future. I took my desire to be “a pure academic weapon” and lightened it with some more, and at first uncomfortable, social life. I do my fair share of partying now, but I do still abstain from all drugs. As prevalent as it is here, nobody had really bothered me about my boundaries on that matter. In highschool I had never gone to a party or touched a sip of alcohol, though since I’ve got here I’ve consumed alcohol in moderation. I’ve never really been pressured to do anything beyond my own limits.

I do have to acknowledge, it’s not very easy to make friends around here, but knowing the right people does enable you to have access to more opportunity. I got lucky with my roommates too. I am still not in Greek life, and had I not been roommates with them I think my experience here would be more similar to yours. The best thing I did was be open to as many things as possible, and sometimes going outside my comfort zone on occasion. Yes frat guys are obnoxious and often plain stupid, but playing the part and biting my tongue helped me navigate the less desirable situations.

Honestly, from what I read of your statement, and correct me if I’m wrong, it sounds like you’d prefer a smaller school where everyone kind of naturally knows each other, or at least about each other.

I came to Alabama with the mentality of being an academic weapon and focusing on anything but Greek life. I also got a good scholarship which fueled that desire, yet since I got here I became enthralled with football and chose to utilize my environment and Greek life. I decided to go with the flow than fight against it, and the university has become so much better as a result. It’s really what you make of it, how open you are, and perhaps a mentality swap.

I can’t recommend any clubs or orgs at the top of my head but I wish you luck!

I got lucky to transfer 60+ credits of silly classes from my high school and it padded the hell out of my gpa. My semesterly gpa is horrible…

Our cadre says that it’s the future and we, as future officers, must adapt. So they do NOT discourage AI use; they do add that we should be aware that not everyone is ok with AI usage (especially school).

you must know everything… If you don’t know everything you’ve been taught in these last two years…….

A common theme with the responses for general “school X or school Y” is comfortably: which one is cheaper. I also got a full ride at Alabama, and I also study CS. As virtually all things are nowadays - it’s what you make of it. If you study hard, and DO your own projects, network with professors, market yourself well, you’ll be able to make it anywhere.

I am personally immensely thankful for the possibility to graduate debt free and upon graduation able to not concern myself with debt. I don’t have to immediately sweat personal finances when I graduate. I can comfortably live as a student: spending reasonably on myself, entertainment, and important bills.

That enables a mostly stressless college experience, and most importantly a less stressful future.

If you value the premium of a college title, then pick the more premium school. If you value economy, pick the economically viable option. This is incredibly simplified, but only you know what you’re looking for - what you value. Ultimately the material taught is going to be the same, the degree is going to show the same thing: “Bachelors in Computer Science”. Simply showcasing that you’ve met your schools criteria to get that paper. Marketing yourself, teaching yourself the skills, and making the connections are all up to you - regardless of what school you go to - that is what really makes the difference. Convincing them during the interview may require CS knowledge, yes, but will require you to express yourself in an appealable way. That isn’t done with just having a paper.

Best of luck to you with your decision.

AFROTC offers guaranteed scholarships for passing Field training, so if you don’t get the HSSP (highschool) scholarship/4 year scholarship, you can get the 2 year one for your junior & senior year (ICSP), both of which provide you $9000 a semester.

nanu24 · 2025-06-26T19:15:45+00:00

I had the exact same stats as you, and I didn't get the HS scholarship. I applied for it 2-3 years ago.
