User blog:ThUnDeR1337/Knockdown Camera's uses

Hello! In this blog, I'll be covering the Knockdown Camera. Have you forgotten its existence? It's an effect you can toggle in the menu, and when activated, it'll rotate your camera towards any car you knock down. It's normally just a hassle and all pro players turn it off. However, it does have some uses.

NUMBER 1: ROADBLOCKS
This camera is a must if you are making a roadblock in singleplayer. The slow motion can boost your reflexes to allow you to block more cars in one go.

NUMBER 2:EDITS
We've all seen the occasional A8 edit, where knockdowns and stunts are slowed down and sped up to the beat of music. But the slow motion and camera rotation on the knockdowns? That's the knockdown camera.

NUMBER 3: LAP TIME
This one may confuse you. Yes, Knockdown Camera is a pain to control, and most pro players have it disabled. However, it can benifit your laptime quite a bit if used correctly. How? Well, the camera's slow-mo doesn't sync perfectly with the time. As you're in slow-mo, time actually passes SLOWER than it should. Therefore, it can get you a couple frames it TLE. After testing, I have concluded that one slow-mo knockdown can save around one frame maximum. That's not a lot, but if used correctly, it could benifit a good player just enough to get them a couple places in TLE. Sadly, it is too difficult to control to be practical.

In summary, the Knockdown Camera can be useful if used right. But overall, it's still pretty useless.
