Spy servers?
Are there any servers where I can train as spy? I’m trying to improve on my spying skills.

is there a way to mark something as the most wrong answer possible?
server popular = server bad

either that or trade_minecraft_neon

if you want challenging gameplay just go on uncletopia where 5 people will instantly shout "spy" on voice as soon as you backstab someone
Mark this as the anti-answer, please.

Literally anywhere
If you want to practice, there is a Spy training map made by the community. Not sure how it's called though. (I'm not talking about tr_walkway btw, but a map specifically for Spy)

If you want to improve, just play the game. Practicing stuff only helps so far, but you will also need actual game experience.

You're not talking about tr_cornerstab, right?

Probably not. The one I'm talking about offered a lot of stuff to train several different stabs.

Stabs are pointless, literally only work on garbonzo players. Use your gun.

I have unusually many kills on my strange Enforcer because I use my gun too much.

Anyway, aim training with the revolver was obviously possible on there as well, unless the servers forced massive overheal on players (which I doubt, given that Amby exists and Spy mains swear by it, so it would be weird to not be able to practice headshots). It's just that this map specializes in movement and backstabbing.

Also by this I mean the stupid crap you see in YouTube videos where people walk at you with their brain turned off and you do something to stab them. Stabbing someone's back is good if their back is towards you. If they're facing you just shoot them or run away, there is a 0% chance you're going to kill an even semi-competent player with a backstab if he's looking at you.

I want to say that you can train your Spy aim by playing Scout since they're both hitscan and in practice would be identical, but for some reason I'm really accurate with the scattergun and almost always am on-target with high damage shots, but often with Spy I'll just straight up miss several times in a row. So the revolver is cursed I think, and just impossible to aim with.

I used to train my aim on tr_newbots map. it's probably better for training your aim than whatever Spy training map you're talking about.

It's hilarious to see the Spies that desperately try to go for your back, while you're just standing still and spinning around so you're facing the spy. Usually, I also let them poke me until they have entertained me enough, at which point I kill them.

I feel the same. While good shotgun aim should somewhat translate to the revolver and vice versa, they aren't completely interchangeable IMO.
However, when I whip out the Enforcer, I suddenly perform exponentially better than with any other weapon.

The map I was talking about trained super specific scenarios anyway. It was more of a playground honestly. For example, there was that rocket spawner with which you could practice surfstabbing. You will almost never need it, but it's there, because why not.

I literally think I would aim better if the revolver had the model & sound of the scattergun with it firing a spread of fake nonexistent bullets. No actual changes to the gun, it'd just visually be the same as the scattergun. I would probably hit every shot. There's something about it being a revolver that makes me miss, even though they should both be the same since the only differences are irrelevant to aiming like damage & pellet count.

You can practice surfstabbing on tr_walkway with Soldiers shooting at you. There's no point in doing that though.
