You land a shot at an opponents feet and you knock him up

The dilemma is:
  - Attempt the air shot and possibly miss the shot
OR
 - Pick the spot on the ground that he'll land on and fire for when he lands, ensuring the shot

(There's also a third option if the opponent happens to have his back to a wall, but that's a pretty corner case so lets leave that)

Plus if you hit and kill them, or subsequently kill them, you can tell everybody/yourself that you're so good at airs.  It looks cool too!  Definitely go for the air.

If your name is clockwork, then you attempt and always succeed.

Most of the time I would go for the airshot. However, if you only have one rocket left I would be a bit more careful.
If I am fighting a scout and have only one rocket left I would try to aim for where he lands for example.

It also depends on how good you are at hitting your airshot. It is definetely not a good idea to quickly shoot away all your rockets to try to hit someone flying at you and the get killed by the attacker  in close combat..

As other people here says, why not do both ? First you shoot one rocket at himin the air and then one when he lands.

No chuckles you would be correct.
