My Spy game has got much better since I got YER.

YER + CaD = whohoo.

[Megaman]

YER, MOTHER! SpyxScout's mother jokes aside, I have gotten stabbed far more lately ever since the YER was introduced  .

[ToonyMan]

I saw a scout called 'Toaster' with a toaster for an avatar, I wonder if that was Bay12 Toaster.

[Mindmaker]

I discovered that I have a surprisingly good ping on our server.
Guess you see me more often there from now on.

[Shadowlord]

Yes, behind the shield. It isn't that difficult to do, especially since it snaps to targets.

You know, rockets and the like pass through the shield to hit engineers standing behind it.

They are stopped, however, by the massive hitbox of the sentry gun itself.

Which, despite appearing to have several very large holes in it, cannot be sniped through.

Precisely. You can tell people are making shit up when they claim you can hit the engie through the sentry/shield.

[Shadowlord]

Except I've been hit through the shield.

Of course, that's because I sometimes use the wrangler to shield and aim my mini-sentries (far more often than a fully upgraded normal sentry).

(I have, on that note, destroyed a level 3 sentry with a wrangled mini-sentry by shooting it from out of range. :3 (Alas, for some reason it did not give me the achievement for destroying a sentry with a wrangled sentry when I did this, perhaps because I used a mini-sentry))

1. can be explained by either shooting the ground around you with a rocket/sticky, or somebody maneuvering around the shield, so they are not shooting through it so much as at an angle so they can peer over/around the shield. I just want this clarified.
 2. Yeah, mini-sentries have a tiny hitbox.

[Shadowlord]

It (a rocket, in this case) went straight through the shield and hit me in the head, so it was just the tiny hitbox.

I've also been shot in other cases through it (with mini-sentries), but in that particular case I saw the rocket go right through the shield and fly into my face (and kill me).

(It's not as easy to tell if a sniper was shooting through the shield or not, but with rockets it's more obvious if you actually see it fly through it.)

In any case, I was initially surprised that the shield did not have its own hitbox.

You really shouldn't be wrangling a mini sentry unless the enemy is outside your range. Even then I can't really recommend it all that much. DPS is too low.

Yeah, it seems like a waste to be Wrangling a Mini-Sentry.

It beats the hell out of a pistol. =p

I like wrangling it -alot-.

 Drop it, flee to some perch out of the effective range of most weapons, watch as that plunky little thing frees up the rest of your team from whatever bullets are spent on it.
