      Meanwhile, a lot of bigger air strike fans like me like to equip something other than the base jumper simply because it can often be overkill, given that bombing someone like with any other launcher is even more effective than using said launchers by default. Except maybe beggar's, which is the other rocket launcher I use sometimes. Personally, I find the air strike pairs well with the panic attack because the quick switch speed in combination with how quickly you can empty your clip with the air strike can lead to insane burst damage and multikills when landing in a group

      Also the damage fall-off of rockets is distance based, staying high up in the air reduces the damage your rockets will do. Mind you, you don't HAVE to stay up in the stratosphere, you can try get closer first before deploying it and still give yourself more time to launch your salvo; but it is an inherent contradiction with the weapon combo you have to compensate for.

      to me it always seemed like a poor attempt to give demoman a direct hit.
      it has faster projectiles and it needs you to land direct hits to do actual damage, difference being that the downsides on the direct hit aren't as severe as it at least still explodes when it hits a wall, even if the blast radius is reduced, and the upsides are stronger since it does extra damage to everything and gets mini crits on explosive jumping enemies.
      the loch-n-load however is just a straight down grade, the pipes whiff if you miss, the explosion radius is reduced when you hit and they don't even reward you with extra damage.
      the extra damage to buildings also doesn't really matter to demo because the sticky launcher is the preferred anti building weapon anyway.
      plus the direct hit gives you 80% speed, not just 25%.

    The thing no one talks about when talking about the YER is that its better for dealing with large groups of enemies, whearas a normal stab would make a loud noise and usually result in your death, the YER silently just takes them out without a problem, another thing is that you ALMOST NEVER have to worry about running into the person your disguised as, because you literally were the ones to kill them. Especially with large groups of enemies, people tend not to spycheck you because, well, they turned their backs and when they look behind again, huh, mysterious, that random engineer has seemingly disappeared, but at least the demo WHO I SAW SHOOT BOMBS is still here. In other words, they rarely spycheck you because you literally took the disguise of someone they already spychecked.

    Here's some advice for these weapons:
    The air strike has the same ramp-up that every launcher has, "bombing" (jumping directly into someone and shooting) is insane with the airstrike
    The loch n load's reduced clip is a much smaller deal when you have stock stickies, since you still have 11 explosives at the end of the day
    Carbine combos well with the bow, it's good enough to finish people off, and mini-crits on the bow are valuable

      I'd also recommend LnL with Scottish Resistance because defensively this allows you to set up multiple traps and then rely upon your quicker projectiles to finish people off or bait them into the trap. The reduced clip size works to your benefit and if you put a fake trap down and detonate it, the enemies will be lured into a false sense of security; you wasted your trap and you are reloading.

    There are "bad" weapons, but from experience, that's mostly just because stock is a very high bar already.
    Forceanature is hard to use and very predictable because the knockback you give yourself while jumping. Airstrike, the effort you need to put in to do mediocre rollouts and damage output, atleast it makes rocket jumping alot more flexible.
    Locknloads quicker projectile speed takes alot to get used to. Quickiebomb is actually amazing if you ask me. Huntsman takes away your full hitscan instant kill options, and YER requires you to use your brain a bit more.

Wikipedia is the largest and most-read reference work in history.[3] It is consistently one of the 10 most popular websites ranked by Similarweb and formerly Alexa; as of 2023, Wikipedia was ranked the 5th most popular site in the world.[4] It is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American non-profit organization funded mainly through donations.
      Wikipedia was launched by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on January 15, 2001. Sanger coined its name as a blend of wiki and encyclopedia. Wales was influenced by the "spontaneous order" ideas associated with Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian School of economics after being exposed to these ideas by the libertarian economist Mark Thornton.[5] Initially available only in English, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Its combined editions comprise more than 60 million articles, attracting around 2 billion unique device visits per month and more than 15 million edits per month (about 5.7 edits per second on average) as of January 2023.[6][7] In 2006, Time magazine stated that the policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the "biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in the world".[8]
      Wikipedia has been praised for its enablement of the democratization of knowledge, extent of coverage, unique structure, culture, and reduced degree of commercial bias. It has been criticized for exhibiting systemic bias, particularly gender bias against women and ideological bias.[9][10] While the reliability of Wikipedia was frequently criticized in the 2000s, it has improved over time, receiving greater praise in the late 2010s and early 2020s.[3][9][11] The website's coverage of controversial topics such as American politics and major events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has received substantial media attention.[12][13][14] It has been censored by world governments, ranging from specific pages to the entire site.[15][16] On 3 April 2018, Facebook and UA-cam announced that they would help users detect fake news by suggesting fact-checking links to related Wikipedia articles.[17][18] Articles on breaking news are often accessed as a source of frequently updated information about those events.[19][20]

      ​@@blondeepartygirlBorn and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, the Scout is a fast-running scrapper with a baseball bat and snarky "in-your-face" attitude. He is the fastest and most mobile mercenary on the battlefield unassisted. Scout's Double Jump helps him outmaneuver slower opponents like the Heavy and navigate terrain while dodging oncoming bullets and projectiles. Carrying a Scattergun, Pistol, and Bat, he is an ideal class for aggressive fighting and flanking. Scout excels at "hit-and-run" tactics that sap away enemy health as his high mobility allows him to get in, do damage, and escape before being noticed. However, Scout possesses the lowest default health pool (alongside the Engineer, Sniper, and Spy), leaving him vulnerable on the front line. However, this is a fair trade-off given his ability to run in and out of contested hot-spots quickly, enabling him to turn the tide of battle before the enemy team can even take notice.
      Scout is an excellent choice for focussing the objective. He is the only class who can capture control points and push carts at twice the normal rate. The Demoman and Soldier can only replicate this ability when equipping the Pain Train. His speed also makes him ideal for capturing intelligence briefcases.
      The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.

      @@blondeepartygirl Hailing from an indeterminate region of France, the Spy is an enthusiast of sharp suits and even sharper knives. Using a unique array of cloaking watches, he can render himself invisible or even fake his own death, letting him infiltrate enemy lines with little chance of detection. His Disguise Kit lets him impersonate any class on either team. With enough skill in the art of deception, the Spy can momentarily fool enemies with their disguise, lulling them into a false sense of security. When the time is right, he can emerge from the woodwork to strike a killing blow, stabbing his unsuspecting "teammate" in the back. In fact, a swift backstab with any of the Spy's knives will kill most foes in a single hit - provided they are not under the effects of any type of invulnerability, or some other form of immense damage reduction.
      In addition to being able to swiftly assassinate key enemies, the Spy can disable and destroy Engineer-constructed buildings with his Sapper. Once attached, the Sapper disables and slowly drains health from the enemy building, eventually resulting in its destruction. However, a Sapper can be removed by an Engineer, or Pyro wielding the Homewrecker, Maul, or Neon Annihilator.
      The Spy has the unique ability to use enemy Dispensers and Teleporters while disguised, enabling him to replenish his health and ammo behind enemy lines and enter Engineer nests undetected. Should any enemy be unfortunate enough to be standing on a Teleporter exit as the Spy teleports, they will be telefragged and die instantly. However, the Spy still collides with enemy buildings, even when disguised.
      Medics can both heal and apply ÜberCharge effects to disguised enemy Spies. Particularly adept Spies can use this to their advantage by coercing enemy Medics into healing them, allowing him to more easily pull off stabs amidst a group of enemies.
      Whereas most players can only see the names and health of their teammates, the Spy can observe the names and health of the enemy team as well (an ability unique to the Spy and a Medic carrying the Solemn Vow), allowing him to relay useful intelligence and coordinate team pushes. This synergizes well with his cloaking ability, which makes him ideal for identifying and calling out enemy positions and upcoming pushes. A skilled Spy can apply pressure from behind the enemy whilst the rest of his team pushes from the front, resulting in a pinch that any uncoordinated team will find difficult to escape from.
      The Spy is voiced by Dennis Bateman.

    The Beggar's Bazooka is a mobility tool that doubles as a powerful melee weapon. The best way to use it is to learn overload jumps and how to use the fast fire rate to rocket jump off of a wall using multiple rockets, and then fly into point-blank and just kill your enemy with a barrage you prepared on the way down.

    One underrated thing about the Force-A-Habit Sorry I mean the Force-A-Nature is its launching mechanism. I mean, if theres someone thats too strong for your team to kill, you can plant one good meatshot and blast them away, giving your team some breathing room. Or, paired with the mad milk when inside buildings, it can also allow you help you and your team get some health back by launching them into a wall.

    The reason Airstrike + Base Jumper is used less together is because Base Jumper keeps you further away from your target(s) which cause your rockets to do less damage.

    Personally I'm on the opposite side when it comes to the Air Strike, funny enough. I didn't love using the weapon with the base jumper, made me feel surprisingly sluggish, like a sitting (or, flying) duck, and given the maintained distance between you and your targets, the damage of the rockets did way less a lot of the time. But now that I've tied the use of the Air Strike more toward my usual play style (fun rocket jumps, sync bombs, etc), it actually feels way more effective. If you land where your barrage of rockets go, their damage goes way up, which makes bombing incredibly effective, and once you get more rockets in your clip, you've essentially just got a normal rocket launcher with more sustainable damage. If you can incorporate small rocket jumps into your playstyle (or b-hops if you're feeling handsome enough), then using it with the gunboats can keep you moving a lot more, and make bombing, in my experience, a lot more reliable.
    But I'll say that I probably use the base jumper less than I really ought to. It does have its own niche role to fill in, and I'm sure I'd like it more if I gave it a shot. That's why I really like this game, the weapon options can really force you to change your playstyle and really shake things up. I'm in a similar boat as you were regarding the Quickie Bomb Launcher, where right now I just don't really use it, like ever, but I'm not entire sure why. Your idea of pairing it with a kritz medic or something sounds really fun though. It'd require a bit of a new mindset to get into, but it could still be really cool.
    EDIT: Also, same exact boat with the YER. I picked it up randomly a few days ago, stabbed a Heavy right as he was about to get ubered, and led the enemy Medic into our team while doing nothing with said uber. Needless to say, I instantly fell in love with the knife, and am intent on maining it for the foreseeable future LMAO
