Don't shoot at where they are, shoot at where they will be.

Don't shoot at them, shoot where they will be when your rocket hits them.

ok got it.

any tips on best gear? I've found the standard rocket default weapon works just fine, but just curious if any anon's know a good alternative

>>384775364
Stock is best. Use gunboats.

Fuck that, shotgun is your best secondary. If you don't get them with rockets you finish their ass off with lead. Buff Banner or Batallions Backup second best secondaries

>If you don't get them with rockets
This is where I know you're a scrub. Enjoy being a sitting duck that is over-reliant on health kits. Only reason to use a shotgun is if you're pocket.

>use direct hit
>tiny splash damage doesn't matter because of tf2's disgustingly large player and projectile hitboxes
>1hit or 2hit everyone
Melee and secondary can be literally whatever you want it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy your MVP just for equipping the direct hit

Then you get in a 2v1 situation and you're just completely fucked

Gunboats a shit, pack a banner or a shotgun.

Standard rocker launcher
shotgun/ gunboats (if you have no medic, they'll be useful in allowing you to rocket jump more)
Escape Plan

>>384775987
>shoot one enemy
>then shoot the other
Problem solved. Also because of the increased projectile speed of the direct hit you can basically stay away from the enemy and practically snipe with it

>want to use Air Strike because I love collecting kills
>get wrecked in Soldier duels
Should I just kill myself?

Shoot the floor
Run away into small rooms that make it hard to dodge
Don't try to walk or rocket jump past massive open areas with bodyshotting snipers on the other side

That's literally it its very hard not to top score as Solly

Play Demo or Sniper instead.

use the black box
concheror
whip

Find a hoovy to bro up with and slap his ass to the point.
Hoovys attract medics and the medic will overheal your ass for helping their buttbudy out.
Stand behind hooby and help him kill targets.

Learn how to rocketjump and use it to get to high places and shoot your ass toward health packs.

Kill sentries by exposing yourself for half a second, popping a rocket, and repeating until the engineer runs out of metal.

Find solice in the fact that you are using the most broken class in the game.
