Character characteristics are divided into agility, strength, speed and endurance. Between the stages, trainings await you successfully passing which you will be able to improve the skills of an athlete. A little about racing. As already indicated, they are divided into several types. The individual race is a kind of biathlon marathon. Here is the most long distance and shooting plays an important role. For each miss, the player receives penalty minutes, not laps, as in other types of racing. The best thirty athletes from the general rating take part in the mass starts. This is perhaps the most spectacular view competitions, because here the rivals start at the same time, which ensures the intensity of passions at a distance and the unpredictability of events.

Hello!
I myself played this game not so long ago and I think I can help you.
In any biathlon game (however, as in biathlon itself) you will have to complete a certain number of laps (depending on which race you have chosen) and the same number of firing lines.
In order for you to have the strength to complete all the circles, you need to go at an average level, not fast, not slow. When the SPRINT command pops up, press the forward key and your biathlete will run at his maximum speed. Also, during the descent from the mountain, you will have the Descent command (or something like that, I already forgot) and you will need to press the key that will be displayed on the screen and your biathlete will start to descend the mountain, while saving energy.
As I wrote above, after each lap in biathlon there are firing lines. To successfully shoot while shooting, you can hold your breath, for this you will also need to press some key (I don’t remember exactly which one, but try SPACE, Z or S). On the last lap, develop top speed from the middle of the circle so that your player comes to the vinyl all exhausted (and this will mean that he went through the race as fast as possible for himself).
And now about individual abilities:
Each player in RTL biathlon has his own individual abilities. I don’t remember everything, but I definitely have Endurance and Accuracy. Each player, depending on his level, these abilities are stronger or weaker.
Good luck in this not easy toy!))
I myself have a record of 5 or 6 place! =)

Hey! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: Who played in RTL Biathlon 2009.

Answer from Makson[expert]
In order to aim, you need to hold your breath. I have 95% accuracy while prone and 45% while standing. I'll explain how to shoot.
You need to hold your breath (button s (button s - also reload), and to shoot - space). I play this toy for 3-4 weeks. And my record is 1st place. You need to constantly monitor the scale of endurance and for the scale where there is a heart icon. And I'll remind you. I press the down arrow button to go down or down the hill.
There is a practice mode where you can practice as Alexander Wolfe or Ivan Kuravlyov.
You have to work very hard in your career. I myself have problems with the Individual race, but basically I'm doing well. If you have an athlete skill, press button A.
Good luck with this game!
I myself almost finished the Junior League in first place.
To make it easier for you to get acquainted with the video.
In addition, the skill must be used in order to bypass the enemy or break away from him.
On the last lap, when you are close to the finish line, accelerate with a sprint.
Sprint - button s.
Good luck.



RTL Biathlon 2008.


RTL Biathlon 2009.

Game process.

Let's start, perhaps, with the "entertainment part". What is very important - the Germans have eliminated a terrible imbalance between shooting and skating. It was because of him that in the previous part of 2007 the whole meaning was lost wrestling. To close at least one target was about as difficult as breaking a brick with the edge of the palm of your hand. But for a miss, a negligible punishment followed - only 3 seconds. As a result, any stage logically turned into a skiing competition.

Now there is no such nonsense. Targets have grown in size, and when you hold your breath, the sight does not jump like a scalded one. For "Mazil" a legal penalty loop is finally provided. In the ski part, there were no innovations - the movement still depends on our manipulations with the athlete's load scale. The higher we raise the slider, the faster the biathlete works and gets tired more. The best move will be shown by the one who correctly distributes energy reserves and, just in time for the finish line, will use them to the fullest.

Work on balance was not limited. There are few external differences, but they are noticeable. In the truest sense of the word, snow catches the eye - right to our camera. Ski marks, more or less natural lighting, the breath of athletes, the sounds of sliding - all this works to ensure that the player feels his "presence" on the track. The tracks themselves, by the way, have become noticeably longer - even having received several penalty loops, they can be played with “legs” if the athlete’s speed is high.

How to make it so that the speed was high? After each victory, we are given bonus points - they can be spent on the distribution between four characteristics: endurance, strength, speed, technique. In addition, after the triumph in the Junior Cup, now you can choose a special ability for your athlete. Here, as in reality, everyone has their own hobby: someone does miracles on the slopes, someone gives heat on the plain, and someone has a second wind in right moment opens.

That's all the innovations of RTL Biathlon. There are no superfluous and unsuccessful ones among them - so the game turned out to be much more attractive than the “first pancake” released last year. The project stands in front of us, smiles and calls to the next stage of the World Cup, to catch up with the leader of the overall standings.

But let's not rush, but turn the patient 180 degrees and look at him from the point of view of the simulator. After all, we have considered only what is in the game, it remains to understand what is not in it.

Every simulator implies high level realism. This is something RTL Biathlon cannot boast of. Just as all roads lead to Rome, all the reasons for the ugly simulation boil down to one big one - the lack of support from International Union biathletes (IBU). After all, we do not need fictitious athletes with outlandish names, non-existent equipment, fantasized routes and rules taken from the ceiling. We want Oberhof to have dangerous turns, Pokluyka to have steep climbs, Neuner to make 5-6 misses per race, the results to be displayed on the screen online, the coaches to prompt on the track… The list is endless. Neither a wagon nor a locomotive is enough for wishes, but the railway depot is just right.

The fictitiousness of numerous details leads to the fact that, in terms of the number of emotions, playing computer biathlon cannot yet be compared with watching a TV broadcast or visiting a stadium. We do not know who is lying next to us on the shooting range and what results can be expected from him. As well as on the track, it is impossible to adequately assess the chances, we do not even guess who and how many seconds are behind us. By the way, only four German athletes “gave” their appearance to the game: Kati Wilhelm, Magdalena Neuner, Sven Fischer (who, by the way, retired a year ago) and Mikael Greis. Already something.

Developers still turn a blind eye to many biathlon rules. Here in any discipline you will not find more than two firing lines. Penalty 150 meters “eat up” only 10 seconds, passing one lap along the track takes many times less than it really is. What prevented you from making real time segments and the length of the distance, at least as an option? Dont clear. Why are there no relay races, and the Pursuit start list is formed after the individual race? Questions are also unanswered.

And finally, a little more dissatisfaction. In RTL Biathlon there is no interaction with other participants and the outside world - a disgrace, even equipment cannot be broken against anyone. Therefore ski run definitely needs some complication. over the voice acting and appearance It wouldn't hurt to work either. To the loud-voiced commentator, who very emotionally describes each shot, the very place next to the boxing ring - here he is neither to the village nor to the city. The cries of the crowd of fans during the shooting are only suitable for Dima Bilan's performance. And the last stone in the German garden - the game needs high-quality directing. In order to show the emotions of the coach at the right time, one view “from the back” is not enough.

When developing a sports simulator, it is very important to successfully convey the competitive spirit, the atmosphere of the struggle. And in the new part of 49Games, it finally succeeded - albeit partially so far. The process is fascinating, the picture is not repulsive, but… true biathlon connoisseurs always want more.

In the struggle for the chair of the head of the Russian Biathlon Union, two very serious competitors came together.

Vladimir Drachev and Viktor Maigurov are running for president of the RBU. Photo "SE"

The situation can still change, and more than once, but so far everything is going to the fact that in May we are waiting for the real elections of the head of the Russian Biathlon Union. Not like when everything is clear with the results long before the start of voting, but full-fledged. And it should be extremely interesting. AT Russian biathlon there was only one intrigue about the presidency - in 2006, when the president of the Moscow Federation also agreed Vladimir Malin. Then, by hook or by crook, the four-time Olympic champion took his.

In 2010, it was obvious that the oligarch would take the helm, and in 2014 everything became clear when, at that time, the Minister of Sports, decided that the head of the Center sports training- the most suitable candidate for this post. Then all decisions of this level were made manually. Now there is no person in our sport who would put everything in its place to his taste.

WHAT WILL THEY TAKE?

Candidate for this moment two: and . There will probably be more. It is not clear only whether among them will be competitive. And for the mass - you are always welcome. So, for example, a member of the board of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU), Dmitry Aleksashin, will certainly run. And at the very last moment, it will be removed in someone's favor. This is an old song.

It remains only to understand - in whose favor after all. So far, no one has an understanding of the winner. The main "trick" of Drachev and Maigurov is that both of them are former top-level biathletes. Accordingly, they must clearly understand what are the problems in their sport and how to place accents. At the same time, Drachev had a trump card in the form of serious potential sponsors who should come under him to our biathlon. But the other day Maigurov made a retaliatory move, saying in several interviews that there are people behind him who are ready to significantly increase the budget of the RRF, one of which is Mikhail Prokhorov.

Victor also has another significant factor: the support of the most influential region in the biathlon of the country - Tyumen. He will stand as a candidate from KhMAO, which is also significant. But the support of the Tyumen governor Vladimir Yakushev and the fact that the reporting and election conference of the RRF will be held in Tyumen is a particularly fat plus. On the side of Maygurov is the post of first vice-president of the International Biathlon Union (IBU), but this is not so simple. There will be new elections in the IBU in the fall, and it is far from certain that after them Russian representatives will remain in the leadership echelon.

Despite the desire of the influential Tyumen to see Maygurov at the head of the RRF, many regions sympathize with Drachev. It is clear that St. Petersburg and neighboring countries will go for him. Leningrad region territory. But with neutral areas there is no clarity. The correspondent of "SE" talked to representatives of some of them.

NORMAL ADEQUATE GUYS

We need to wait for the reporting and election conference, to see what presentations and programs they will prepare, - the President of the Biathlon Federation of Mordovia expressed his opinion Anatoly Kuzmichev. - Based on what they offer, and I will make a choice. For now, I give priority to Drachev. He has achieved more in sports. Plus, in terms of leadership, he is not a novice, Vladimir led the largest district in St. Petersburg - Vsevolozhsky, now he works in the State Duma. I met with one and the other. Both are normal, adequate guys. I think Drachev will be president, and Maygurov his deputy. It would be a good tandem.

The vice-president of the Moscow Biathlon Federation, Konstantin Tsarev, has a slightly different position.

Both candidates are worthy,” he said. - Maigurov has been working at the IBU for so many years, he has serious contacts there. It is important. Drachev has achieved a lot both in sports and in politics. I watched both programs. I liked Vladimir better. She's more specific. At the same time, it should not be ruled out that new candidates will appear. The same .

- What exactly would the new president have to help you with?

No one can help us build a shooting range. It is essential. We have five schools, but we don't have our own center. We are forced to hold the championship and the Moscow Cup in Ryazan or Smolensk. What can I say, we even lost school shooting galleries. They don't exist at all. Nobody wants gun problems. It is difficult to develop biathlon without being able to shoot.

From the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the governor's adviser spoke.

I liked Maigurov's program more, - admitted the three-time world champion. - It is more meaningful. Victor's position at this stage seems to me more intelligible.

- Now in our biathlon much will change. Is there any chance that you will return to the national team?

Nobody talked to me about this. But I think it's unlikely. Everything is fine with me in Krasnoyarsk. Sergey Devyatkin. - At least as from Mikhail Prokhorov. Although our complex received very little from him, only rifles. We were almost the last in line. I know that someone managed to get skis and equipment, but, alas, the queue did not have time to reach us. Frankly, at first I was against Prokhorov, but time put everything in its place. After he left, things got worse.

For regions, inventory support is generally very significant. Things are really bad for us. And if things continue like this, the champions will have nowhere to appear. You need to look for the cause of failures at the World Cup not there, but here. What will coaches do if there is no one to choose from? Biathlon is not a cheap sport. The cartridge flew out - minus 10 rubles. Seems like nonsense. And the child needs to fire at least 30 shots per training session. And if in addition with whom to work out? Where to get funds? Parents themselves are not ready to pay such money. When you start to explain, they say that it is easier to find a less expensive sport. And they take the child into wrestling, or into walking.
