No, it's actually very accurate.


It turns the soldier into a single trick pony, who's sole purpose is to act as ranged bombardment against targets.

Which is what a gunboat is.

Gunboats need an overhaul. Should be melee slot, kicking attack that does 60% melee damage but crits stun/something (kick to the balls). Should also take away health.

Because seriously, Gunboats are useless to good Sollys atm because the Shotgun rapes. In fact, the Gunboats make you only have 3 rockets and nothing else to attack with when they're actually used in combat. I'd rather just rocket jump normally and still have my 6 shells left to kill things with.

Postal 2 Rocket kicking

Gunboats are awesome when your objective isn't to frag, but distract.


How many times have I raged an entire team as Pyro by just popping tele's and then harassing people going from spawn to front lines for 5 minutes?


Gunboats let sollys do that, but r-jumping away is much more efficient than me having to use airblast + a corner to get away.

the biggest advantages of gunboats are not needing a medic to travel around the map and escapability theyre not so much an advantage in direct combat

give them some combat ability even if its just a melee kick, i would rock them till the end of time if i could rjump and kick someone in the head

[copulatingduck]

they really don't need it though, the nerf was needed as it was

[PyroZombie]

I thought about them having a small shockwave damage bonus, about 20 health when not on-top of enemy, maybe 60 when landing upon but I'm sure its been thought up by Valve and tossed away.

Rocket kicking actually doesn't sound like a bad idea for the soldier, he is a psychopath. However, I think the Soldier shouldn't be able to do it all the time, and certainly not when he has his rocket launcher out.

Actually if gunboats let you do some goomba stomp damage that would be kind of cool, nothing major, maybe 30 - 60

Hey, aren't you that guy who argued that engineer was the single most important class in TF2 that one time? And then you proceeded to argue about TF2 game balance with a competitive player?

Valve needs to hire you.
