On june 17th of 2014, the Love and WAR update was released, giving us the oh so beloved and notoriously niche Airstrike. The Airstrike so misunderstood, never invited to any partys, always spited without good reason... Oh Airstike... a not-so-novel rocket propelling grenade launcher... how we love you so dear...

I love deleting snipers with near full damage falloff across the map by predicting their movement seemingly perfectly.

Tip 1: The explosion radius loss when rocket-jumping basically doesn't even matter when you have proper skill in all honesty. NEVER use the B.A.S.E. jumper with it, use the panic attack instead or the Mantreads if you're trolldiering.

Tip 2: Most people see the weapon as a direct downgrade, or just worse than the direct hit.
Those people have only used the Airstrike for less than an hour.
I love the gods be damned thing and REFUSE to use the direct sh!t thanks to the Airstrike still being feet-spammible, compared to the basically non-existent explosion radius.

The Airstrike is a skill based weapon through-and-through, if you can actually use it and predict your shots, you WILL obliterate the entire enemy team.
Random crits deal only 253 flat damage, but the Buff banner grants mini-crits the more you damage you deal, Therefore, simply using the Buff banner as intended you can deal 73 damage up-to 8 times in a row consecutively anywhere across the map.

The Airstrike is balanced and fair. Don't underestimate the soldier with 8 rockets ready to rain down on you from across the map.
