For the squad clip at the bottom there is a squad leader attack mark with rough meter distance between you and the squad leads mark. This can be used with the elevation and lead grid work on the RPG sevens scope this is a high chance of a skill kill. Source: Squad LAT/HAT Snob

Yea was thinking the same thing but at the same time that kinda range. Ima say luck had a lot to do with it. Cause that pilot could kept turning and gone left or gained altitude like there was a lot the pilot coulda done to throw ur shot off. So really your putting that shot in where you think it’s gonna be but that’s just a hope that he doesn’t do anything drastic. Idk play a bit of lat def not good at it just seems like a lot of things coulda been done that woulda made the shot miss…. But he didn’t so yea def some skill there just to be able to put the shot in the right area

Pure luck not even a contest. You can make all the adjustments and fire a perfect shot but it could miss. Because of the fly time it is pure luck

That first helicopter kill was definitely skillful because he knew to aim above and ahead of the target to account for ballistics and target movement and certainly did have at least a mostly accurate idea of the range and velocity of the rocket, but luck was also involved because the pilot could have changed course but didn't.

Yes you can calculate an approximate aiming point if you've at least come close to hitting shots at that distance, and you can easily calculate an approximate distance by how big the helicopter appears when not zoomed in. It was not only luck, his skill level got his shot in the right area, whereas if the person was unskilled, he would've aimed directly at the helicopter, which of course would've fallen short.

@@timothyodeyale6565 I disagree about his aiming. There are two types of targeting for moving targets, tracking with the proper lead like you're talking about ,or "ambush", where you apply the lead with the current target movement and wait for the target to get to your shoot point. Ambush is my preferred method in squad, just seems easier, also since all you have to do is wait for the target to get to your lead point and click, there's less chance of you jerking your mouse while tracking. Shooting helis in squad is difficult, and certainly more difficult at 450 meters as was this case (the green knife on the compass is a mark dropped by the squad leader). He knew what he was doing. But there's always luck involved with shooting fast moving vehicles, and this heli was moving quite slow, so luck there as well. In the end Skluck, but plenty of skill involved. New anti tank player regularly can't even hit a stationary vehicle from like 100 meters away, so this was a good shot

I have +3k hours on BF4 and can say with confidence that that shot was pure luck Heli players don't usually go in a line and especially when shot, they most likely will strafe +that elevation is kinda 70% but the pilot needed to see the shot which again set another layer of luck Not to mention his luck by not being shot, if the heli saw his shot he definitely saw the guy definitely could've shot earlier (Reminding that it was hardcore, pretty easy to kill with that heli)

That Squad clip was 100% skill. The compass on the bottom of the screen has a sword marker indicating 450 meters to the mark, which was placed by the squad leader. This LAT (light anti-tank kit) used his sight to line up the shot.

On the WW1 game where there all charging the dude on the Maxim gun is not so much skill or luck but just a recreation of WW1.

I will watch anything with Israel in it, on this channel or any other. I love his seamless blend of geeky gamer and ex Special Forces. I will say that while I haven't played many of the games on this list I have probably over 1000 hours on Battlefield 1, and those turrets are HARD to control, so getting that many players in one life was pretty impressive to me, although the enemies did seem to be falling over themselves to make it easy for them.

Finally waited so long for this

love the energy made the day foreal

You can see the distance is marked at the bottom of the screen on the first squad clip, and as a squad player i do know the scope markings, i think most players with more than 100 hours would also :), however there is no way in hell i could make that shot

My favorite trio on Gamology luck or skill. That Apex Legends tree and grapple hook video was the best, but the hacker getting owned is just right, its the principle you know.

In Sandstorm they do have a UAV drone that explodes when close to hostiles or enemy vehicles. Also a call for a V formation of drones dropping bombs.

That Heli shot is all skill. You can absolutely determine distance using that scope and both correct for elevation and lateral speed on the fly using the markings. Even the helicopter can't really maneuver out of the way because it has a lot of inertia so the path of the Heli over the time of flight is pretty predictable.

Squad heli shot was skluck because he was experienced enough to estimate the ballistics but still wasn’t a shot he expected to get

Just an idea for a later episode maybe: Luck or Skill, have submissions with some kind of comms or note that gives context, you watch the clip muted or without reading the note, then vote, and then turn on the audio and/or read the note.

Aayeeee..... They're back..!!!

That apex clip just taught me a smart strat. Fucking props to that dude, good shit!

The clip at 10:01 definitely was skill. The scope of the RPG and the hash markings/radical.. has numbers on it. And each grid/line is a 5 or so metres. So when tracking, you will know the distance to lift up and lean to left to right to get the right arc on the rocket

I like how the AMAZING play for apex was an Early-intermediate play for titanfall standards

I love that poster of squall and edea behind israel

I’d say the squad clip was skluck. You can tell there was some thought put in but there also was some definite luck there. He’s probably played enough to be able to guess the range and aim close to correct but these type of weapons aren’t exactly made for that kind of range so there’s always gonna be some luck in hitting a shot that far.

glad you made that point from the battle field clip. The helicopter pulled up into the smaw shot. Low level skill+high level luck.

Siege clip with the twitch drone was skluck. It's complete chance that the dude happens to back up towards the vent with the claymore. There was intent, and he did hit him with the drone's shots, but the guy walking into the perfect position was pure luck

I think all the rockets vs helicopters are heavy luck. There's a degree of skill with aiming in the proper area, but after that, there are just too many variables to truly contribute it all to skill. That first long range RPG was total luck--unless RPGs are coded more consistently in the game, they're just not that accurate. You can give it the best odds with knowledge and experience, but once it leaves the tube, there are just too many variables--especially as the distance increases. Edit: the zipline rocket to the crashing helo was a lot heavier towards skill, I'll give him that.

It appears to be grounded in experience with him lining up the compensator grid. In squad atleast, the rockets are 100% consistant, and the stadiametric rangefinder and grid in the rpg7's PGO sight makes nailing a moving target up to 500 meters childs play (If you know how to read it). Still doesn't make it any less awesome feeling when you nail that shot though.

More of these please.

Helo shots in squad do happen.....but an rpg shot at that distance is a bit of both haha

Do you play squad? I'd say it's its definitely both and not just luck. Hitting far shots with rocket launchers in that game requires knowledge of how the projectiles work as well as knowing exactly how far away they are. That's really the hardest part of hitting a shot is knowing exactly the distance between you and them. That's why most classes in this game are given binoculars to accurately see how many meters away something is. So sure, a shot like that definitely took some luck, but that was mostly skill. It's not just a shot in the dark that happened to hit and you can tell when he lines up his shot he knows what he's doing. Also-that optic on that rpg is the probably the easiest one to use, you simply line up the bottom of the object with the corresponding line and meter number depending how far it is and shoot. However, hitting far shots with an iron sight rpg is a different story entirely. Pure skill

11:05 "one time is funny, two times is fcking annoying, you know?"

As a heavy LAT user in squad that was fucking skillful. He had everything calculated and shit, no luck there.

10:22 i think the SL placed an attack mark on the chopper (green sword on the bottom) 450m. definitely luck IMO. even hitting a stationary target at the distance with the rpg-7 is hard, much less a moving chopper

Hi... Uh yeah I recommend maybe Chris the cop can look into Ready Or Not, since the Alpha just came out

The chopper shots were skill, when shooting at choppers you have to know how they fly, the big rotor up top means they can either go straight, straight up or slow turn. The squad shot was a bit easier than it looks because of the slower chopper mechanics, also any player that uses a weapon enough knows its drop off and knows vehicle scale to distance. The bf shot in that situation you always shoot slightly above the chopper because if they are going to dodge it's always going to be straight up, they aren't going to cut motor and drop into the ground and turning is too slow.

The luckiest thing to happen to me in a game is accidentally firing an RPG at a guy,he then moves and it hits and blows up a tank that just came into view behind him

That game with the rpg is squad and Is an amazing game that you guys should react to

Omg i loved this video 😂

The squad clip did have a range mark. On the compass it says 450m pointing where the helo is.

Saw some cool footage on tic toc of a civ drone dropping a morter right through the sunroof of russian soldiers looting houses 😂😂😂 cracking shot !

There's definitely a handful of RPG gods running around wrecking shit in Squad.

BF4 i pretty much mained shooting helis out of the sky with a smaw or rpg in that game and i will tell you right now that was both skill with style points. that shot was gonna be good especially with a smaw, the hitbox for the helis and the ping in the servers make that shot dead on imho, and right at the start you could tell it was gonna hot the ground right behind you. this manz skills are scary

so its not just a meme" wait till he sees bf4/3 c4 strapping

Skill for the rpg on squad you can read the sights for distance and speed

For the clip of bf1 where the dude was mounted on that turret and got 2 squads worth of kills i have to go luck. Id take skluck but im leaning more towards luck. I can't tell you how fast i wouldve had that dude gone. Any time you get that many kills in a row while standing completely still in front of at least 15 people firing non-stop youre lucky. All it wouldve taken was one decent scout and they wouldve died after the third or fourth kill

I mean... luck or skill, the BF1 machine gun was at least very, very historically realistic.

Real gamers understand its both luck and skill. It takes skill to do what they did but the luck comes in when you get matched up with garbage players lol. Never the less you have to have a certain level of skill to overcome being out numbered even when theyre bad.In gaming you get lucky and that gives you opportunities to show your skill.

For the 3rd clip I'm saying luck because the entire play would have ended had that Tachanka been paying attention. Everything was purely based on that moment, and it was a HUGE mistake.

You guys should look at some of the Titanfall 2 clips

The BF4 bringing down the helicopter is skill. Watch the perspective again. The helicopter doesn't pull up, because it is coming straight on, it is simply that it gets closer, there is no change of elevation to the chopper. What's making you think it is an elevation change is because of his position and how he angles his shot and then as the tube drops out of frame to reload it is an optical illusion that the helicopter makes any change. If I remember correctly that weapon does not indicate to a vehicle that there is any kind of lock on and the projectile can be difficult to see depending on which view perspective you are using for your chopper.
