I've just whatched that XBox interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms4E095TMcM&feature=feedu) with John Dennis on your channel and there he said what shot assist actually is! If it's set to easy it would "correct" your shots slightly so they do more damage.
Well this explains why in the tutorials, grenades keep flying not the way I want them. This shot assist thing does appear to work, but not in a good way. Like the grenade flies at a slightly different direction and thus might deal more damage but what I actually wanted was to blow the enemy into the water.
You know, I thought the shot assist was for the binoculars, like they should move your camera to the right direction and show how what power your shot needs.
What are the binoculars for then? How are they useful? I mean, they even appear in crates as if you actually had a use for them (you get the same feeling when gaining a cluster from a crate -.-)

Cruster bombs are useful for people who dont know how to aim grenades....its a lot easier aiming them to the sky and pray for a cruster to hit the target....
About the binoculars...they seem to show the distance between your worm and the targeted enemy worm....which is totally useless and can be done by pressing E

In theory. In practice, it requires not only that the enemy is weak enough or it's not worth it, and even then "hitting an enemy with a bazooka" is about as easy as "having a cluster bomb timed to explode just above an enemy".

They show what power and angle your bazooka shot needs to be to hit an enemy worm in the lower corner. Which reverts back to whatever angle you were looking at when you use the binoculars. They're very hard to use.
Also, I'm not sure they even work with wind.
