How do YOU midair?

How do you like to midair?  I take a quick glimpse at their location and jerk my crosshair to where I think they're going to be when the rocket gets to them.  Although, I am trying to be more like this dude LINK
He follows them, then jerks his crosshair, so he gets a better idea.

Sniper bullets hit their target instantaneously, so I just aim, and fire. 

How do you hit mid-air rockets? You aim!   Mid-air's aren't much different then regular rockets.  The rockets travel the same speed, the only difference is the speed of the enemy.  One thing too remember is that rockets shoot slightly to the right and the rest you have to learn to predict where they will be and what you need to do to make a rocket meet them there.

Typically, I judge the direction they are traveling, quickly see if there are any obstacles they will hit on their way, let the rocket fly...

...and miss fantastically.

omg that guy on the video is awesome
looks like i need lotsa practise

i play kinda like that .. just i jump around and look around me alot more than he does... you need to constantly keep tabs on who is going where.. imagine your the UPS guy and you gotta get someone their package.. and the package is a rocket... GIVE THEM THEIR PACKAGE !! THEY WANT IT !!

I got a mid-air shot on a soldier yesterday! On purpose! It really is a great feeling popping someone out of the sky who thinks they have the drop on you.

yea i seem to get a lot of midair pipe bomb shots, but not too many rocket shots. i dont think i take midair rocket shots too often though. i shoot where theyre about to land =p

Awesome stuff, it's basic geometrical physics if you're interested

Speed and direction of yourself

Speed and direction of your enemy

Distance between you and your enemy

Speed of rocket relative to all of the above.

Takes practice   If anyones played HL2DM as much as I have you'll have a much better idea because of the Xbow, I love prediction weapons they make things so interesting.  (People who main as soldier and complain about the Pyro update, I'm sure TNT sits and laughs )

On another note, can someone give me the map name for the map shown at "1:09" in the video?
