Got a 1350 for VT ww5t Intermediate S5 during my VDIM session and was determined to hit the diamond score of 1400 today. Ended up just spamming the scenario and not making any progress. I'm pretty sure this is just a "play more/give it time" issue but I wanna make sure there aren't any eye-catching issues in my technique or anything because I was able to hit the diamond score on VT 1w3ts Intermediate S5 fairly easily.

I'm only a diamond aimer myself, also stuck on 1350 funnily enough (1w3ts and ww5t are my last scenarios before diamond complete)

Dude your aim technique looks really good, and you're doing the right things, clean af flicks with straight lines, no wasted movement. It honestly looks way better than my runs even for the same rank. Your technique is good, I wouldn't worry too much about your technique or developing bad habbits. Just stay and on the grind and I'm sure you'll progress with time.

  • You miss too frequently. On this and your best run, if you were able to maintain that pace (slower with your pb pace) with a higher accuracy, you would be diamond already.
  • Your initial flicks are actually quite good, your issue is the confirmation micro. You're too concerned with maintaining the pace to properly confirm the micros. Now, this is kind of to be expected when you're pushing speed for a new pb and goal (like diamond), but you still need to actually hit the target or having a high average fire rate isn't going to be helpful.
  • You drag your micros quite frequently as well. They should be smooth and fast, similar to your initial flick but more controlled and typically less tension is involved.
  • Pathing decision issues. You're sometimes too concerned with individual targets that spawn outside of a perfectly good cluster. It's almost like you want to get them so all the targets can be on one side of the map. A real left side focus as well. The most obvious moments of this are at 13s, 18s, and 31s. It's ok to ignore one or two targets that spawn away from where most of the targets are.
  • You flick back to targets that you miss. It's not the worst habit to have, but it makes you think you're flicking and firing at more targets than you actually are. You shot 144 times, but you probably only flicked to 135 targets because you double backed after missing. That's not a good enough diamond pace. To get a more clear idea of how fast you are actually flicking, you should not double back.
#

Of these points, I think you would get the most immediate improvement out of micro confirmation and general accuracy.

bc im getting the same critiques with other categories

#

im not really sure how to immediately improve on this tho

Alternate between being painfully accurate and as fast as you currently are. You aren't properly confirming the targets, so do some runs where you only confirm your targets. Flick and always come to a complete stop before flicking away. Play micro specific scenarios.

#

Break down the issues you think you have or do have into smaller pieces and focus on those small pieces.

#

Also, the difference between your accuracy and the accuracy you should be aiming for (~95%) is actually quite big. Going from 90% to 95% is more intense than you'd think. It's like asking you miss half as frequently. 90% accuracy means missing 1-in-10 times. 95% accuracy is 1-in-20 times. If you're struggling with accuracy that's a big jump to force yourself to do.

#

You'll pick up on issues you have when forcing yourself to be more disciplined and deliberate.

im assuming that as im trying to be painfully accurate and really dial in on those micros

#

i'll lose some speed, or maybe pacing is the better word

#

but if my initial flick is still good then i'll just keep doing that and really really slow down on the micros
