Rocket League: a detailed guide on the game - how to hit the ball correctly, the correct camera settings. AB Rocket Abs Trainer Rocket League Basics
For a long time I was skeptical about this “bank”, and then suddenly I started a card. Sold out? In a sense, yes.
Skepticism paragraph
Previously, Rocketbank was a "service", "a bank that does not have a bank license" and was generally considered something hipster.
Common hipster (Hipsterus vulgaris)
Look at this person. Are you ready to give him your money for safekeeping? Personally, I'm not ready. This is one of the reasons why I was in no hurry to get a card with "such a convenient application."
Not so long ago, Intercommerce Bank, which served as the "base" for Rocket cards, started having problems and closed it. By that time, new cards from Otkritie Bank had already been issued, but those who did not bother to change the card temporarily lost access to their money. My skepticism has been confirmed.
The discovery of Rocket (or is it rockets?)
And then an important event happened - Opening bought Rocketbank. This is an important change. Now Rocket is not a "layer" between the cardholder and the bank, but a sort of "service package".
There have been other changes as well. But what attracted me the most was:
Free maintenance
For me, this argument was the main one. In the days of Intercommerce, every month you had to pay for having a card. Not cool.
I want to experiment as cheaply as possible, and ideally, for free. With free service at the “Cozy Space” tariff, you can get a card and start using it later. Or use, then postpone, and then return again. You can just keep for special purposes (for example, donate, but more on that later).
The card does not ask for food or drink, and the owner does not pull money - experiment to your heart's content.
Convenient replenishment
There are quite a lot of terminals at Otkritie Bank, there are also more branches in Moscow than Intercommerce. It turned out that this argument does not play a role - it is not necessary to communicate with the bank. The card is delivered, it can be picked up by self-delivery, but not at all from the Otkritie branch, as I expected.
The number of ATMs does not play a role either - you can withdraw anywhere, but I do not use this opportunity.
We are modern people, so we will replenish the account from another card (most likely a salary card). If the amount is more than 5000 rubles, then the transfer does not cost anything. Comfortable.
Chips
To get “another card”, you must have reasons for this. Either the old one must be bad, or the new one must be good.
Everything is fine with the old one, so I'll tell you what's good in Rocketbank.
Ribbon
I did not just bring this point to the fore. The main screen of the app - "action feed". It displays all expenses and replenishments.
The main feature - all operations have an icon of the organization or group of goods to which the purchase belongs. Most cafes, shops and cinemas have a corporate icon and a "normal" name.
Sometimes it happens that the technical name is displayed, which is registered in the POS terminal. This is easy to fix with a support letter. Clarified the name of the place, it will be immediately renamed. You can even send a picture with the logo - within a week it will be entered into the system and in the future it will appear for all users of the system.
Convenient statistics
With such a tape, it would be strange not to have easy-to-understand statistics. The application breaks down all expenses into groups, shows how much money was spent on each group and how much these expenses make up from the total monthly expenses.
Transfers without flashing the card
Each user receives a page for transferring funds.
Her address is configurable, I chose this - https://rocketbank.ru/dswng
Of course, I’m not Karina’s streamer, but since the message is attached to the translation, you can ask me to fold my hands like a heart or send a kiss.
Cashback
Cashback cannot be the main reason for choosing a bank. But the site promised “cashback at 3 favorite places up to 10%” and I imagined how I would choose a cafe where I eat a business lunch, a grocery store near the house and an Xbox digital store. It would be nice to have a "discount" of 10% in these places. But no.
The beautiful figure “up to 10%” in fact most often means 6% or even 3%. Every month, 5 places are given to choose from, in 3 of which the cashback will be increased - there is no complete freedom of choice.
The money is returned not in “real” rubles, but in “Rocketrubles” (more on them later), so cashback cannot be equated with a discount.
Discounts
Rocketbank is constantly negotiating discounts with someone. The amount of the discount varies, but most often it is 10%
Unfortunately, discounts are most often temporary. I read about the illskill discount on the blog, but at the time of receiving the card, it had already disappeared from this section.
Rocketrubles
Local bonus currency, it is convenient to accumulate it, but you cannot dispose of it directly. In my opinion, this is the most controversial moment of the whole system. For the sake of simplicity, I will abbreviate this word to “rr” in places.
Accumulation
The two main ways to get rocketrubles are to attract new bank users and cashback. For each new client, 500 rubles are given, although in March-April there was a promotion and I received as much as 1000 rubles for my friend.
With cashback, everything is also clear - 1% of any purchase and 3-6-10% in selected places.
Due to the fact that we are not talking about “real” money, the bank regularly holds promotions in which you can get even more local currency.
For example, now you can play a simple game and get about 150 rubles to your account.
Spending
The most interesting. You can't spend them directly. The system is as follows: if there are 3000 rubles or more on the account, you can choose one of the purchases in the amount of 3000 rubles and not older than 30 days to get money back for it.
If the rocketrubles are more than the purchase price, the balance will remain on the account - you don't have to worry that the favorable moment is missed.
However, the purchase price must be less than the number of Rocketrubles, and part of the purchase price cannot be returned.
Total
Miracles do not happen - Rocketbank's card did not bring me a lot of freebies. But sometimes there is a quality service - I got a discount in a couple of places, my spending control has become easier and I plan to get my money back from time to time.
I will not make it my salary card, but it has already become my main one, and now my salary card is always at home.
Try it too. As I already wrote, it costs nothing.
And if you take advantage of my invitation, we will both receive 500 rocketrubles on the account. That's what I wrote in the title. You can make me "bring", and at the same time you will receive a bonus.
There are big motorcycles, there are powerful ones, and then there is the Triumph Rocket III. The appearance of this leviathan could not be predicted in any way. The British, who were previously distinguished by their loyalty to traditions and some restraint, absolutely unexpectedly pushed the norms of morality away along with common sense and put into mass production a space-devouring monster with a 2.3-liter engine.
Model history
First Triumph Rocket III went on sale in 2004 as a kind of response to a strong fire that destroyed almost all the production areas of the main plant triumph a few years earlier. On the one side, Rocket is a brutal power cruiser made from scratch. On the other hand, several characteristic triumphal "chips" are noticeable to the naked eye. First, two round headlights. Such optics have long been successfully used in Speed Triple and Street Triple . Second, the engine. triumph has been using three-cylinder engines for a long time. In case of Rocket III I had to fiddle with the layout. Mahina with a working volume of 2294 cm3 ( DOHC , 12 valves, six spark plugs) you can’t put it across the frame, the bike will turn out to be too wide. The engineers made the only right decision - to turn the motor so that all the exhaust windows were on the right side in the direction of the motorcycle. Inside the power unit, which is more like a car in size, the crankshaft and gearbox lie side by side along the motorcycle, and the timing chain is located behind a large cover in close proximity to the radiator of the cooling system. Dry sump lubrication system, oil tank located on the left side of the engine. Below in the crankcase is a two-section oil pump. One section pumps for cooling and lubrication, the second pumps the system. There are two intakes - front and rear. Both are integrated into the pallet. The power supply system is injection, with two rows of throttle valves with a diameter of 52 mm, air is supplied from two spaced airboxes. The frame is tubular, duplex with a removable lower section in the area of the power unit and a non-removable rear subframe. Torque is transmitted to the rear wheel by a cardan shaft hidden inside the swingarm.
A large and brutal engine is the prevailing detail of the motorcycle exterior. Everything revolves around three cylinders, two round headlights and a 240 rear “sneaker”. The image came out very memorable! Motorcycles destined for the US market are distinguished by an increased number of chrome parts.
Initially, there were two modifications - Roadster as a basic version and Classic as an extended one. Rocket III Classic is different from Rocket III Roadster handlebar shape and platforms instead of footpegs. Motors at that time were painted only in silver. In both cases, a powerful inverted telescopic fork with a diameter of 43 mm and a pair of large shock absorbers connecting the frame and the pendulum was used as suspension elements. The brake system consists of two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers. Nissin on the front wheel and one 316 mm disc with a two-piston caliper Brembo.
In 2005, the first factory modernization took place - the engine sump changed. Until 2005, drain plugs in the pan were located horizontally, after - vertically. Since 2006, motors from Triumph Rocket III started to turn black. The valve cover remains chrome plated.
In subsequent years, the English manufacturer began to work on the bugs. The early "Rockets" (until 2007, you can see on VIN ) there were a number of well-known sores. On this score, Triumph released a large comprehensive kit. A large box weighing 9 kg immediately became an object of desire for owners of pre-2007 Rockets III , as it allowed to increase the reliability of the motorcycle and improve the operation of some components. The list of parts included in the kit is impressive. In particular, new, more powerful clutch springs, a second gear improved in terms of engagement cams, a modernized timing chain tensioner and damper (the previous design was not reliable and contributed to uneven stretching of the timing chain), high-voltage wires, the correct final drive bearings (which were installed from the factory wrong side), as well as a whole scattering of washers, gaskets and O-rings. The total cost of the kit parts is about $ 2000. However, the retail price for a long time was $ 300. The kit was massively bought and installed by all the owners of the "Rockets" to be upgraded. Because it was profitable. The high-voltage wires included in its composition alone pulled € 200. In 2015, the kit rose sharply in price to $ 1,500. The fight against “childhood diseases” on the engine finally ended in 2007. From that moment on, all problems are eliminated at the plant, the “stuffing” has settled down and has not changed to the present.
In 2008, a special version appears. It is distinguished by a dashboard and an engine control unit. The mechanism of interaction between them began to resemble more CAN -tire. Also, a different dimension of the rims (for tires 150/80–16 and 180/70–16), the shape of the steering wheel, limited due to the firmware to 106 hp. With. peak engine power (this is how engineers raised elasticity and traction at medium speeds), exhaust system with two pipes, ABS in the options list, more “chopper” fork offset, flat platforms instead of round footpegs (driver's adjustable), removable windshield, more comfortable seat , a fuel tank reduced to 22.3 liters, removable hard side cases, a 43 mm telescopic fork instead of a “shifter”, as well as one large headlight instead of two. In fact, due to the reduced power of Rocket III - a slightly more resourceful device compared to the usual Rocket III.
In 2010, the most progressive "Rocket" of the currently produced appeared - Triumph Rocket III second generation. Of the improvements - ABS as standard, a sharper tilt of the steering column, a new seat (10 mm higher and closer to the steering wheel), a black front fork, an engine “pumped” with firmware to a record TTX (148 hp at 5750 rpm and 221 Nm at 2750 rpm), 3-in-2 exhaust.
Technical features
In-line 12-valve Triumph Rocket III , released later than 2007, can be considered an indestructible power unit. It makes sense to talk about the reliability of older motors only after installing corrected parts from the whale.
Running over 100,000 km without major repairs is not uncommon. At the same time, from replacement to replacement, the oil level does not change at all. CPG problems are highly unlikely. It takes a lot of effort to crush ceramic-coated cases or monstrous pistons. For example, forgetting to pour oil. Seizures on liners, mainly on indigenous ones, are found only on very high runs. The cooling system effortlessly copes with any traffic jams. No tendency to boil was observed. Fuel consumption on the highway is 6–6.5 liters per 100 km of track at a cruising speed of 120–140 km/h. In the city - 8-9 liters per 100 km on the standard firmware of the control unit and 12 liters with an abnormal one.
Since 2015 Triumph sharply decided to deprive the owners of silver engines of support. Many parts for it have ceased to be produced. Certain difficulties arise mainly in the case of an order from England for parts that are painted in the color of the engine. For example, external pump, thermostat, final drive housing covers. New silver parts are no longer found during the day with fire. Only black!
Failure of the gearbox Rocket III in most cases associated with the human factor. If you tuck the gears at a wide open throttle, the torque motor can break the gears. But no matter how the gears grind, nothing ever happens to the crankcase. The fragments simply fall into the pallet and lie there. The shafts don't bend. It happens that a bolt is unscrewed that fixes the link of the copy shaft drive. The bolt falls into the crankcase, the link stops holding on to the shaft, the box, for obvious reasons, sticks in the gear that was engaged (it can only be treated through a complete disassembly of the gearbox with the removal / installation of the internal combustion engine). Sometimes the copy roller lock spring bursts. The box does not stop working, but the gears are switched on extremely indistinctly (it is treated without removing / installing the internal combustion engine, removing / installing the front engine cover is required). Almost always, with problems with the gearbox, the motorcycle retains the ability to move under its own power. The high-torque motor is capable of moving a huge motorcycle even in fourth and fifth gears. Cases are known when Rocket III with only one fifth gear, as if nothing had happened, he overcame up to 1500 km. Any repair of the checkpoint at the "Rockets" is associated with the almost complete disassembly of the motorcycle and the removal / installation of the internal combustion engine. Until 2014, 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears are limited to 7% power by the second row of throttles. The restriction is removed by software.
The owners of the "Rockets" usually do not complain about the clutch. It is extremely reliable. With the new type of springs installed and the correct setting of the mechanical drive, it is unrealistic to kill him. The package contains nine metal and 10 friction discs.
There are usually no problems with the starter, but there are troubles with the ignition switch on the early Rockets (up to and including 2010). There, the power "plus" to the starter is taken through the ignition switch. Over time, the lock from a heavy load begins to melt. At one point, it stops working altogether. The problem is fixed by unloading the ignition switch. An additional relay is installed, which takes the start signal from the starter button, the power cable is pulled directly from the battery. The ignition switch does not need to be changed. This workaround has been around for years.
The lubrication system is reliable. In rare cases, the valve in the oil tank may lose its tightness, causing the oil to completely drain into the sump. There have also been cases of oil leaking through the nozzle, which cools the clutch. The result is the same - the oil flows into the sump. Cold start of the engine with such a malfunction is quite problematic at near-zero outboard temperatures. The starter simply does not have enough effort to turn the crankshaft and gears of the box, completely filled with oil. It is treated by replacing what failed. Removal / installation of the internal combustion engine is not required.
A noticeable weak spot in the electrics is the throttle position sensor ( TPS sensor). The first sign of his death is the disappearance or overestimation of idle speed. Treated with calibration. If the problem occurs again, then replace. In the heat, the sensors fail more often. With such a breakdown, it is, in principle, possible to continue moving, but only after certain manipulations. In a particular design, the throttle position sensor simply reads the throttle position, and the stepper motor, in turn, sets the idle position in steps. When the sensor dies, you need to pull off the chip from the idle motor and use the nut on the rod to independently wind the required speed. Check on the dashboard, of course, it will light up, but idling will be restored. These manipulations only work on motorcycles up to 2010.
If the motorcycle is used infrequently, there may be problems with the rear gear drive. Corrosion may occur on the splines of the cardan-gearbox connection due to dried grease. As a result, wear of the connection, which threatens to replace the bridge and cardan. It is treated by timely lubrication of the assembly.
Early (before 2007) Triumph Rocket III due to an assembly error, the final drive support bearing was pressed in the wrong way. Hence the difficulty with lubrication. The specially provided oil channel remains out of work. It so happens that an oil seal is mistakenly in its path. The bearing resource is a lottery. It is saved from instant failure by the presence of oil mist in the crankcase.
The braking system is very mediocre. With all the efforts of engineers, it does not differ in any special efficiency. The discs, of course, are large, but the calipers are no good. Similar mechanisms are usually used on medium-sized road bikes. Replacing the calipers with more productive ones does not give much effect. You can't fool physics! The harder the calipers bite into the discs, the sooner the tires give up. Emergency braking usually translates into either a squeal of rubber or a crackling anti-lock system.
The running system of the "Rockets" is more designed for quiet movement on relatively smooth asphalt. Tuning in the form of progressive coil springs for the front fork and thicker oil may be required only in cases where the motorcycle is used not as a cruiser, but as a large sportbike. Rear shocks on early Triumph Rockets III very tough, owners often replace them with similar parts from more recent motorcycles or tuning.
At first, there were big problems with the diagnostic equipment for the Triumph Rocket 3. Hardware and software had to be ordered from England under the VIN number of a particular motorcycle. Some time later, German tech enthusiast Tom Hamburg managed to make a free diagnostic for Triumphs without being tied to anything. He laid out his work to the Americans, they immediately riveted all kinds of firmware and dumped them into the public domain. If there is a cable (suitable for conventional VAZ diagnostics) with a chip FTDI diagnostic device for Rocket III assembled simply.
In the context of service Triumph Rocket III not as complicated as it might seem. All nodes are large and are in relatively good access. If you have a service manual in front of your eyes, even a novice mechanic can handle all routine maintenance operations. Deeper intervention requires experience and special tools.
The coolant is changed elementarily, as well as the oil filter. Oil has to be dealt with. There are three drain plugs, they are located in the pan in a very non-obvious way. Oil is poured no less tricky. It is necessary to fill the oil tank (four liters), start the motorcycle, run the system. Then muffle and top up according to the level. The fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank. It must be taken out very carefully. There is a risk of bending the float, which can cause incorrect operation of the fuel gauge. The air filter is located just under the seat and is easy to replace.
Removing the engine only at first glance may seem like an impossible task. In fact, this procedure can be done alone. It is not the motor that is removed from the frame, but the frame from the motor.
crash tests
Triumph Rocket III a truly indestructible device, if you do not consider the slight cosmetic damage that absolutely any motorcycle receives as a result of accidents. It is important to install the original protective arches from the list of accessories immediately after purchase. They almost completely eliminate engine damage. Without them, the radiator, footpegs and engine covers become consumables. Often, during falls and accidents of moderate severity, the steering wheel bends and the exhaust crumple, but the motorcycle still retains the ability to move under its own power.
Rocket III almost always leaves the scene of an accident. Even if somersaulting around its own axis. Very strong bike! They say about such people: “not a scratch on the motorcycle, the asphalt is in rags.” No one has yet been able to bend or damage the frame. The rims can even withstand a good jump on a high curb. Skilful riding rear wheel(A Rocket III it can!), contrary to popular belief, does not harm anything. On landings, the motor does not hit the asphalt, the oil seals do not fly out of the fork.
Geometry can only go away in the event of a strong frontal impact. There is a risk of bending the fork, but the traverses are much more often deformed.
Conclusion
What should be the bank of the future? The answer to this question lies not only in a cool mobile application, quality service, and not even in the use of the most advanced technologies. The bank of the future must stop being a conservative institution, woven from bureaucracy, officialdom and polite indifference. No matter how tired we are of the word "startups", it is precisely this word that can shake up financial companies and make money relations become more pleasant, easier and more convenient. By the way, such a startup already exists in Russia. Rocketbank.
Don't pay attention to the name by and large we are talking not so much about the bank, but about the humanized layer between it and the user. The developers of the service entered into a partnership with Intercommerce, but made sure that their client did not need to contact the bank's offices. In the vast majority of cases, this works. However, "Rocketbank" does not just take on the responsibility of mediating between the bank and the user, it is a full-fledged financial service. But let's talk about everything in order.
Card issue
From the first minutes of using Rocketbank - applying for a debit card - the magic begins. You can spend just a couple of minutes filling in the required information, or you can immediately download the application in App Store , Google Play or Windows Phone Store and do whatever is necessary there. In addition, you can ask a friend who uses Rocketbank for a referral link and receive 500 rocketrubles to your bonus account in the form of a small compliment from the developers.
The second stage is a call from a technical support specialist who will clarify that a debit card is required, and will also ask about delivery. After that, it remains only to wait a bit while Rocketbank deals with various formalities for issuing a card. In my case, it only took a couple of days. On Monday I applied, by the evening I received confirmation, and on Wednesday the card was ready. Accordingly, on Thursday, a courier came to me with a stylish black envelope, asked me to sign an agreement and gave me a couple of useful tips about using the service. What is important, the young man was really well versed in the operation of the service, and did not repeat stereotyped phrases.
In total, the release of the card took me about twenty minutes of pure time. How many banks can catch such a result? Now, after getting to know Rocketbank, I remember, like a nightmare, the procedure for applying for and receiving a debit card from one of the largest Russian banks.
Mobile app
As for the mobile application itself, in this regard, Rocketbank is at its best. On first launch, you'll need to provide a passcode and optionally enable Touch ID for fingerprint access. After logging in, the user immediately gets to the main screen, which contains information about the state of the account, the amount of money spent and the forecast for the end of the month, as well as information about the number of remaining free cash withdrawals from ATMs.
Below is a transaction feed with detailed information about each of them, including the amount, time and place on the card, as well as the dynamics of payments in this establishment during the month and for the entire time the card was used. For each transaction, you can get a statement, select a category in case of incorrect auto-detection, and add a tag. It is important to note that, unlike many other banking applications, Rocketbank shows information about payments in a visual form - all companies have understandable names, many of them are accompanied by logos.
The second tab is the technical support chat. Rocketbank specialists almost never make you wait long, and their communication is friendly and informal. I want to - you can talk to "you" and even exchange jokes. It's not as cool to explain it in words as to try it in action. I recommend!
The third and fourth tabs are devoted to replenishment of the card and transfers. In the first case, a card, cash, transfer and sending a request are available, in the second - sending money to friends in Rocketbank, transfers to cards or bank details. All this is not much different from similar operations in other banking applications, except that in this case it is implemented very clearly and packaged in a stylish interface.
The rightmost tab has collected the most features. Payments, detailed spending analytics, fast mobile payment - three main functions. Also in this section there is a "Profile" with settings, a choice of tariff, the ability to change appearance applications and other features. You can read about "Deposits" discounts and special offers below, and also on the "More" tab there is a function to block a compromised or lost card, account details for users and legal information.
Debit card terms and conditions
Of course, you will not be satisfied with just one mobile application. From such a service as "Rocketbank" and expect some nice bonuses in the process of use. Of course, they could not do without them. First of all, it is worth noting the status of the card. Users receive Visa Platinum with support for contactless payments Pay Wave, which in itself gives many privileges due to high status. What is important, with free service when making purchases for three or more thousand rubles last month.
In addition, Rocketbank is constantly looking for partners to provide its own discounts in various establishments. For example, I go to the Noir hairdresser and now I will pay fifteen percent less. If you want to play quests in reality, Rocketbank offers to save 15% when going to Sherlock, and now you can get to the place of the game or just take a ride in a Wheely taxi with a 5% discount. Of course, this is not full list discount offers, it would be too long to list all the establishments.
Another strength of Rocketbank is the combination of cashback and interest on the balance. If the account holds more than thirty thousand rubles, the client of the service can count on 15% per annum. At the same time, when spending funds, a cashback is accrued - 1% of the purchase amount in the form of rocketrubles. This fictitious currency corresponds to real rubles at par, but has one peculiarity: it can only be used to offset the full cost of some recent purchase with an amount of savings of three thousand rubles or more. Since April, favorite establishments have also appeared that allow you to receive increased cashback up to 10%. Every month the user will receive an offer to choose three favorite places out of five possible and go to them with even greater benefits.
Contributions
So far, the dark horse of the Rocketbank mobile application for me is deposits. Recently, developers have been offering the opportunity to open a refillable bank account in the amount of 30,000 rubles at 18% per annum. In theory, there should be a choice of several banks with different offers, but so far there is only VPB. To open a deposit, you need to submit an application and once again meet with the courier who will deliver the contract and the necessary papers. Surely in the future I will decide to try deposits, especially since the Rocketbank application is also used to work with them.
Disadvantages and wishes
Of course, Rocketbank is not perfect. Only from this month, the developers decided to make the service free and started issuing cards with Pay Wave technology, and the ability to work with foreign currency without conversion is still in the plans. Added to this are restrictions or the need to pay a commission when replenishing an account through Visa Direct, a commission for external transfers and only five free cash withdrawals from ATMs. However, all this cannot be called a serious service problem. Some users, for example me, are almost not affected by all this.
However, wishes are still there. I'd really like to see the ability to export expense details for later use in finance applications. The thing is that you can’t do without cash at all, which means that there is a need to detail the spending of paper money. In addition, I would really like to be able to choose between Visa and Master Card. Even though Rocketbank offers a huge variety of privileges and discounts, the Priceless Moscow program provides much more pleasant bonuses than Visa premium cards. There are never too many freebies, you know.
Conclusion
Alas, even in a detailed review of the service it will not be possible to tell about everything that Rocketbank offers users. To prevent the text from becoming indecently long, we had to bypass the excellent work of technical support, friendly blocking and unblocking of the card, user name pages for transferring money, informing people from the contact list on the smartphone about receiving the Rocketbank card and much more. All this makes the service the way we would like to see all banks. Alas, the financial sector will remain too conservative for a long time to come. Their maximum now is modern and functional mobile banks, which still hide everything that we do not like banks for. I advise you to change the idea of this with the help of "Rocketbank" - a service with a human face.
If none of your friends still use Rocketbank, you can use my to apply and receive 500 rocketrubles.
A detailed guide to Rocket League, suitable for both beginners and advanced users - "how to hit the ball and not be an idiot." Everything is detailed and with pictures.
Rocket League Basics:
Every new player goes through several stages. It looks something like this:
1) The player goes for the ball and rejoices when he touches it. When there are six of these players, it looks like a pack of dogs rushing after the ball and touching it with their noses.
2) The player finds the boost button and chases the ball quickly and actively picks up boosts. So it turns out to touch the ball more often, but you don’t always get it. Thinking at this stage is not necessary. MEAAAAAACH!11 ヽ(◉◡◔)ﾉ
3) The player starts to hit the ball with a high probability. Sometimes the second item falls out of sequence and it turns out that the ball is touched, but it flies very slowly (aka "sluggish ball"). It's not very good.
4) It suddenly turns out that just hitting the ball is not the most effective activity, since you can suddenly spoil everything, and you have to think where you hit. Here, a super-diagram comes to the rescue about in which directions it is normal to hit the ball, and in which it is bad.
And here she is:
It looks confusing, but in short - you are a right team player, if you hit the ball from any number to the arrow next to it, then you are an idiot if this arrow is red.
To sum it up, the basics = the player moves fast and actively, always has boost, and kicks the ball towards the enemy goal so that the ball goes fast, and hits the ball (and sometimes the goal) well. Usually this is enough for your teammates to trust you and not rush to take the ball from you because of your uselessness.
Timplay (team game in Rocket League)
After mastering the basic skills, it usually suddenly turns out that the game is a team game and everything is very difficult in 3x3, everyone gets confused and gets in the way.
In fact, the teamplay formula for playing without communication is very simple.
Defense play in Rocket League
As soon as it becomes clear that the attack has bogged down, the enemies have intercepted the ball and you won’t be able to take it away, we turn around and drive on the boost / somersaults into our own goal, collecting the boost along the way.
Enemies bring the ball to the wall/corner/gate area and everyone starts to blunt and flounder.
And here is the magic scheme - if you are standing in the goal and see on the screen next to the ball (or with you) your ally or two, you remain in the goal. The allies will go in turn to knock the ball out of the corner. If after this iteration the ball is still in the corner (i.e. the allies screwed up and didn't hit), you go to hit, and immediately after the failure, you return to the goal and the cycle repeats.
If you shorten the wording, you get something like: "whoever is closest to the ball - knocks out, who is second - covers / helps the first, who is the last - the goalkeeper and waits for his turn, and who could not knock out, returns to the goal."
If everyone follows this pattern, then we get a cycle of cars, where always one player makes a clear, the second prepares to hit in case the first misses, and the third covers the worst outcome (the ball into the goal). It sounds complicated at first, but gradually even with randoms in matchmaking everything works by itself in this way.
Assault in Rocket League
The enemies screwed up with the attack, we took the ball away and are leading to the enemy half.
Immediately a magical scheme - if you see that there are two allies in front of you on the screen, you do not go to break in with them, but stay behind in the midfield, and break in only when one of the allies has returned back.
If you are first to the ball and there are no allies on the screen, your task is to push the ball through until it either flies, or centers, or until you are out of position.
If you went first and screwed up, come back for a midfield boost (you can hit the enemy goalkeeper along the way if you screwed up around the corner and the team scores), recalibrate and see which of the schemes to use next (whether they took the ball from you and rush to gate, or the attack continues there).
Again, in short: “the first to the ball - pushes through and buzzes in every possible way, the second - a little behind / in the center in case of a pass, loss of the ball or centering, the third - far behind in case of a strong kick into your goal, and whoever screwed up - returns."
If it's still not clear, I have a few more of these wonderful arrows. And here they are:
Here the left side attacks and the right side defends. The numbering of players and their behavior are described in the diagrams above.
Again, do not be afraid and try to manually establish such interaction with your team, it itself starts to work on an intuitive level sooner or later. In 2v2, the same thing, but without the player with the number 2.
Proper camera and button settings in Rocket League
Most people drive with default button settings. With camera settings, everyone experiments on their own, or looks at what professional players use.
Two options for settings used by veterans:
Kronovi settings - default settings with a slightly stretched background and a slightly distant camera, you get a little more tactical view and potentially more convenient to spin erials.
Lachinio settings - more "arcade" settings, with maximum front, low and close camera, because of this, there is more sense of speed. With them it is more convenient to ride without a ball cam and focus strictly on the ball.
The camera stiffness parameter is responsible for the stiffness of the rubber band on which the camera dangles behind the car - at a stiffness of 10, the camera will not move away / move at all during acceleration and turns (it is fraught with a loss of sensation of speed).
Usually they play with the Ball Cam constantly on, turning it off when collecting boosts, when dribbling the ball in front of you and sometimes on the walls.
Regarding the choice of cars - all hitboxes are rectangular boxes, but they differ slightly in height. In visual terms, flat cars are a little more convenient when flying, convex cars - when dribbling on the ground. On the official forum, a friend compares everything, but the general consensus of pro-players is - use what you like.
Ball control techniques and play in Rocket League
Beginner players usually have quite a few questions about how to fly like Superman and do all sorts of cool things, but no matter how boring it may sound, the most effective method here - do all the in-game training several times a week, restarting attempts on failures, until you start to feel confident with the ball.
Main non-intuitive points:
All turns must be made with the drift button held down.
When flying at the ball, it is not necessary to keep the boost all the time, sometimes it is more useful to let go and redirect the car while it is moving by inertia.
The easiest way to get the ball off the wall is to chase it along the wall while keeping the car parallel to the ground. In this case, a somersault from the wall will send the ball into the center of the field (or into the goal).
When purple sparks fly from under your wheels, you have reached the maximum speed - the boost can be released and not wasted. The maximum speed can be developed without boost by tumbling forward twice.
After flying towards the ball, use the drift button to align the car with your momentum so you don't lose speed when you land.
The fastest way to get out of an enemy gate if you drive right into it is to drive forward and then level the car in the air with the drift button. You can roll forward when you start riding upside down to speed up the process.
The goalkeeper can reach the crossbar without a boost if he double jumps, lifting the nose of the car in the process (the main thing here is not to tumble back accidentally).
Having a well-established list of routine tasks is an inevitable part of the life of any adult, regardless of his place of residence or income level. Renewal of documents, inspection of a car, cleaning of an apartment, a visit to the dentist - all these boring things spend a lot of precious time and effort. The need for more or less systematic interaction with the bank is another typical example on the routine list. Some issues related to banking services can sometimes be resolved through a call center, however, for most current tasks, a personal visit to the branch is required. The process is often not the fastest, at best it is travel time and a five-minute wait for your turn at an ATM, in a less optimistic scenario - half an hour waiting for your ticket number on the scoreboard or one open cash desk, which five to seven people want to get into at once. It was these obvious realities that became the reason for the founders of Rocketbank to reconsider the very principle of relations between the bank and the user of banking services. Saving time, simplifying procedures, quick access to useful additional features- all this is at the disposal of the client of Rocketbank. The main principles of work are described below and the ten most important and relevant reasons are highlighted that may be the reason to try Rocketbank in action. So…
What is Rocketbank?
Rocketbank is not a bank in the usual sense of the word. The company itself positions itself as a mobile-only bank. No branches, no internet banks, no call centers, just a card and only a phone app. In fact, Rocketbank is an IT solution that acts as a link between the bank and the end user, the task of which is to simplify and optimize all the usual financial processes as much as possible. In addition to saving time and nerves, the system makes it possible to receive income from the cashback service and interest on the balance. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's talk about everything in order.
№1 Rocketbank is a 100% mobile bank
Banking from Rocketbank is intuitive and functional. The mobile application combines a huge number of features that allow you to quickly and comfortably solve everyday tasks. You need to understand that Rocketbank is, first of all, a mobile application, and it is in this direction that the developer focuses maximum efforts.
Take, for example, the operation feed - all information is issued in Russian, with the correct display of the name of the store or organization with which the interaction took place. Convenient search and flexible tags help you find the information you need in a few seconds.
The visualization of cost analytics deserves special attention. The presentation is absolutely intuitive - expenses are divided into categories, each of which has its own color and column width. Thus, the percentage of expenses of a particular type is easily tracked, providing invaluable information for analyzing your own budget.
Notable is the possibility of combining analytics with other Rocketbank cardholders. So, by combining their statistics, the spouses are able to objectively assess the monthly distribution of the family budget and redistribute further expenses if necessary. In the current economic realities, the usefulness of this option is difficult to overestimate.
This is not all the features of the application.

The Rocketbank application is available on the App Store and Google Play.
#2 Convenient Support
A traditional call to the bank is not the most pleasant thing. Waiting on the line, switching to different specialists, the need to remember and loudly recite the code word - not that all this greatly spoils life, but it certainly does not please. All this is obvious, and that is why the formation of a comfortable customer service is one of the priorities for Rocketbank. Hence, an absolutely wonderful option is the ability to receive operator support directly in the application. The ability to simply, as in any messenger, make a request or a question greatly simplifies the matter. Writing a message does not attract the attention of others, it happens in the background, without taking time from current affairs. Operators communicate with Rocketbank customers in a friendly and plain language, which, again, will not be a key advantage, but very, very nice.
#3 Rocketbank is a Platinum Visa
Becoming a client of Rocketbank, the user receives a platinum Visa card with all the associated benefits. These are permanent discounts in shops all over the world, additional service programs, privileges and personalized service. Details can be found on the website. Rocketbank users are provided with a debit card for a period of 4 years.
In addition to the Visa Platinum discount system, Rocketbank customers can take advantage of a number of their own offers, the full list of which is available in the application.
No. 4 The card brings income
The Rocketbank card not only provides access to convenient services, but also makes it possible to increase financial resources. So, on the balance of more than 30,000 rubles, 9% per annum is charged. It is important to note that this is not about the deposit, but about the current amount on the user's account. Interest is calculated daily based on the account balance. Payment is made monthly. The accrual system is simple: if on some days the account balance fell below 30,000 rubles, no interest will be accrued on those days. For other days, when the balance was more than 30,000 rubles, interest will be accrued and paid. For both tariff plans of Rocketbank, interest is calculated in the same way. The maximum amount on which interest is charged is 300,000 rubles.
#5 Large bank guarantees and the state deposit insurance system
Do not underestimate the importance of the issue of financial guarantees in turbulent times. Obviously, for most users, this is one of the defining aspects in the process of choosing a banking service. So let's look at the whole structure. Rocketbank is a convenient account management application and a Visa platinum card. In fact, the user's money is stored on a bank account in the bank of CB Interkommerts, license of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation No. 1657. The bank has been operating for more than 20 years, is a member of the state deposit insurance system and has an A+ rating from the National Rating Agency.
#6 Transparency of settlements
Rocketbank's policy is maximum transparency of its own settlements with clients. So, unlike any other banks, a fee is charged for servicing the card not for a year in advance, but only for one month - this is 290 rubles for the All Inclusive tariff and 75 rubles for the Light tariff. An important point is that if there are not enough funds on the account to pay for the service, the overdraft will not be debited. If the amount required to pay for the maintenance of the card is not available within six months, the maintenance of the card is automatically terminated.
The pleasant moment is that some traditionally paid services in Rocketbank are free. So, in both tariffs, no commission is charged for Push-notification of operations, application, certificates, statements, card blocking. In the senior tariff plan, the SMS notification service is free.
№7 Withdrawal at any ATM without commission
A situation that is familiar to many firsthand: in the hands of a full basket of products, at the checkout of the store do not pass cards, in the wallet one hundred and fifty rubles in cash. Looking for an ATM of your bank? Lucky if he's around. Look for any other ATM and give a commission, the amount of which will be clear only after the fact? More real and less pleasant alignment. With a Rocketbank card, the problem is solved as simply as possible. You need to cash out money - we are looking for any nearest ATM and withdraw. The All Inclusive plan includes ten free withdrawals from any ATM per month. The Lite tariff includes five free withdrawals. A particularly pleasant moment for travelers will be that these conditions also apply to cash withdrawals abroad. More on this in the next paragraph.
#8 Ease of account replenishment
With the replenishment of the Rocketbank card, everything is simple. The easiest and fastest way is to replenish your account from a card of another bank (Card-2-Card) directly in the application. To carry out the operation, it is enough to select the "Replenishment" section and enter the data of another plastic card, for example, a salary card. Within a few minutes, the money will be transferred and available for use. Card-2-Card technology is available for cards of the vast majority of banks. The transfer is carried out without commission.
An alternative way to replenish is to deposit cash through an MKB ATM or an OPC system terminal. There will be no problems with the search - the application displays all the nearest ATMs, and there are more than 6000 of them in Moscow. So, I had five ATMs conveniently located near work, and four near the house. Funds deposited through an ATM are credited to the account within a few minutes. Replenishment of the account through an ATM is also free.
It is also possible to deposit funds via bank transfer. The method is simple, but the transfer takes 1-2 days.
In addition to those listed above, users of the application have access to the useful option “Replenishment by request”. For example, one of your friends owes you money for lunch, a ticket, or some other purchase. Select a friend in the contact list, enter the amount and click "Submit". An email will be sent to your friend's E-Mail with a link to the replenishment page. To transfer the specified amount to your account, a friend needs to enter his card details, and the job is done.
No. 9 Easy to translate
Rocketbank users are given the opportunity to make a transfer directly from the application. There are several ways. To transfer "Friends" just select right person from the contact list and specify the transfer amount. A letter with a link will be sent to the E-Mail of the selected friend, by opening which he will be able to choose the method of receiving money - to a card, to a phone or a Qiwi wallet. No transfer fee is charged.
The second way to transfer is to the card. For implementation, it is enough to know the card number. And the third way is a bank transfer.
#10 Ease of Design
To fully appreciate the capabilities of Rocketbank, the card and the application should be tried in operation. No initial investment is required - the card is issued free of charge. There is also no charge for the first month of use. By default, the All Inclusive tariff is enabled. Subsequently, if there is a desire, the tariff plan can be changed free of charge. An application for issuing a card is submitted on the Rocketbank website. Approximately a week after filling out the questionnaire, a courier arrives at a convenient address for the user with a card and an agreement. Documents are signed on the spot, and the card is ready to go, the whole procedure takes ten minutes at most. The Rocketbank application starts working on the same day. The description of the entire procedure for obtaining a card took eight lines of text, in fact, everything is no more complicated.
The card arrived in a nice black envelope. I immediately managed to activate the application, top up the card by entering the details of my other card, and pay for my phone. I still don’t know how my further relations with Rocketbank will develop, but I will try.
