  2. Fun Fact: there are 2 types of bhops in TF2, those that preserve your speed and those that preserve your rocket jumping status and let you garden/airstrike/keep the jetpack state after jumping. The timing window for market gardner/airstrike bhops is random because they use a different check than speed preserving bhops. Speed preserving bhops always have a window of 1 tick (0.015 seconds) but market gardner/airstrike bhops have a window that can fluctuate from 0 to 7 ticks (impossible – 0.106 seconds) depending on your connection to the server. Generally, they have a more lenient window but they can sometimes just be impossible.

  3. 6:33 Hearing you mention “gunboats” reminds of that one vid where you called them the “Gunbutts”. I think Im gonna do that rn. Also, Im glad you covered the bhopping part of using the air strike, but it has other uses in TF2 from personal experience: (Im a medic main and I use the scroll wheel)

    Scout: useless unless the BFB is reworked to remove double jumping
    Soldier: Air Strike (obviously), Market Gardener, Low hp with the escape plan
    Pyro: detonator jump and then you bhop or use the powerjack (duh)
    Demo: useless unless you’re an eyelander demo with 4 heads
    Heavy: revving while bhopping with the Tomislav, using the GRU, using the steak, or getting whipped by a soldier
    Engi: useless unless you’re trying to escape from someone or play movement trick on a spy (ig)
    Medic: pretty good especially if ur healing a scout. Hitting a few bhops before surfing is kinda useless but its cool idc lol
    Sniper: Engineer example applies here
    Spy: dead ringer feighn or big earner (or maybe a combo of both).

  4. Just chiming in to say I'm a fellow Air Strike enjoyer. I know it's not the most consistent rocket launcher, but it's a snowball weapon like the Eyelander. When you get 8 rockets, it becomes one of the best explosive weapons in the game… until you die lol. I love it!

  5. The best dps upgrades in Mann vs Machine are the reload speed upgrades, mainly since the less time you're not shooting, means the more time you're doing DPS.
    Now, Imagine that in casual but instead of high reload speed you have an 8 clip rocket launcher

  6. Ive never tried air strike b-hops, but just because of how market garden b-hops works, Im pretty sure you dont actually need to hit it on 1/66th of a second; what that refers to are perfect b-hops, and those perserve your momentum, but as far as market garden b-hops work, they are far less precise
    While this is not 100%, the whistling sound you get while using the rocket jumper is a pretty good indication of if a b-hop counted for still being in the air

    (edit: this section is useless, since you already mentioned it lol)
    Also, if you wanna practice these, Ive found that offline servers make them totally, or practically impossible, so youll need to either turn on some fake latency through console commands (for me around 20-40 ping works well enough), or youll need to go on a real server

  7. I love the air strike… Too bad I'm awful at rocket jumping.

    But even as a ground-walker with some simple jumps it still can be fun and effective.

    Thanks for spreading the good word of the air strike!

  8. It's nice to see that the airstrike is finally getting some love from normal people, also jump lotus is a pretty good map to start out as it gives you a rough idea of what the airstrike is capable of

  9. air strike is cool IMO but i really cannot recommend beggar's enough, both from a practical and coolness perspective. no snowball mechanic, no dmg penalty, the mobility you mentioned, etc. in most cases in pubs, i would probably say that the only thing air strike meaningfully has over beggar's is the ability to directly snipe sentries. i say this both as someone who started out with air strike before moving onto the beggar's, and as someone who went through the same "seeing maps in a different light" but to a greater extent with beggar's than with air strike.

    tl;dr air strike is cool and isnt totally outclassed, but i usually find that most people who like it like beggars even more – i recommend putting a fair bit of time into it if you havent already

  10. The airstrike was a launcher I only started properly using in dms of all things, killing my partner with a sudden bomb was always more effective than with direct hit cause well, it's still got a bit of splash at least especially after you land.

    But cheesy but my DMS are mostly wacky strategies like buffalo steak bear claws to punish jirate sniper since we're both 1 hit lol.
