I think about your old video on this weapon every time I use it. Gave it a spin the other day and had so much fun. It's literally an Eyelander with rockets

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.

10:44 binding jump to mouse wheel makes it even easier just an fyi because when close to the ground just scroll and there's a good chance one of the jumps sent out that way is correctly timed

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!

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

I guess he's back in hibernation.

It's also very fun in MVM. With upgrades, it just makes the mobility even more insane which is extremely useful on the big open maps like bigrock. And ammo refill canteens let you do some extremely nutty barrages with it.

this video puts you above other tf2 youtubers. very creative and meticulously perfected technique, well done, ill give this a shot next time i go on team frotress 2

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

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

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).

Just found your channel and watched pretty much all your new releases. Love the content hope to see new releases soon!

I just recently started messing with the air strike and it's surprisingly fun. After remembering to not fully magdump i started pulling some pretty decent streaks. Now that I know about the bhop tech, its about to get real.

i plan on trying to use the airstrike in a competitive setting, ive seen it done with the beggars so i think it can sure as hell be done with the air strike

This video reminded me of how cool Airstrike Gunboats is. Thank you.

what i like to do is bind mwheel up and mwheel down to jump so its way eisier to do a bhop

Thank you for talking about my favorite rocket launcher. I'm not very good with it, but it's still a fav, even over the Liberty Launcher. Something about it's design and sounds just enraptures me.

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!

The funny thing about this video is that I saw it right after abusing the air strike to do some jump maps

I love the air strike as someone that a novice with rocket jumps it still feels good to do a rudimentary bomb

I have a fondness for the weaker launchers. There is just something fun about curbing somebody (especially a stock soldier) with something like the Liberty Launcher

a soldier like van gogh's self-portrait is something...

I personally use the panic attack or stock shotgun with it, but thats just cuz i like variety

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.

you can tell right before he shouted out the sponsor he was reevaluating his life choices

this is why the game isn’t dead yet

thought you were a completely different youtuber after seeing your competitive video and seeing this video's graphics config.

the ability to trolldier while still having rocket damage is also very fun and silly

i love the insanaquarium hitsound

Did I hear Lisa the painful in the background if so a good choice man.

Hey Zeno, I am throwing the random comment out there. I just came back to tf2, and after looking at the state of tf2 youtube in the modern day you stay at the top. I love your modern videos, and especially your sense of humor that clearly hasn't changed. I am glad to see you still making tf2 content that makes you happy, and never feel pressured to stay, but I am glad you are here. I loved the 100 days of competitive, which was a fantastic take on (at this point) overused format, that you brought a lot of fun to. I know you are working on a "project bigger then [100 days of comp]" and I cant wait for your future videos beyond that. No matter what they are about.

Alright, time to rebuy my strange airstrike.

I agree, this weapon is awesome.

airstrike is a worse (or better) version of the beggars bazooka

DAMN BRO I JUST CONTRACTED RAIDS.

basically the airstrike becomes a sticky bomb launcher but with rockets

most know its potential spam so its banned in highlander. even though its allowed in 6s, base jumper is banned making it useless against good team.

10:00i see so now i have a reason to blame my monitor and not my skill

This rocket launcher slaps in MVM

Glad to be watching you again, no Polish national anthem intro though?... was always my favourite bit of a video haha

Yo zeno, what are your config in your game ?, i really like how your game looks, could you tell me ?

I should give this thing another spin

I feel airstrike is unintentionally more weird than beggars, beggars is weird because it's inconsistent, the potential of its rocket jumping with the self damage and monstrous damage output, but the airstrike is weird in a niche way when trying to use it without the base jumper, like the neon annihilator. It's most effective in places like along the signs of district, or jumping off the floors of mercenary Park, but what I like most about it is with gunboats that's the closest thing to the rocket jumper you'll get while still being able to use it offensively.

Awesome video, been watching your videos since 2018, hope you are doing well

The fact that that ad read wasnt a bit actually threw me off

Great video!

I am quite the noob, and cant do any of the fancy rocketjumps/techs besides... well just jumping, but I love this weapon. Carpetbombing the shit out of anyone just feels so good.

You ain't just cool, bro You're the COOLEST

The gun is very cool, super pogo's are dope, HOWEVER... the hidden blast radius penalty while rocket jumping plus the base penalty gives this the lowest blast radius besides the direct hit with a minus 28% while blast jumping. The clip at max takes an eternity to reload. and finally, it chews through ammo faster than any launcher. The main problem really is the hidden blast radius penalty while jumping though, that makes airstrikes unnecessarily hard given that most your rockets will already have falloff even if you are bombing with it.

@Railgunner66

also increased clipsize isnt that valuable on a rocketlauncher inately when rockets reload only slighty slower than they fire. 0.92 seconds for first reload vs 0.8 seconds for firing normally

1:20 Epic transition And yes air strike underused

i dont use the airstrike for bhopping and the market gardener. i use it because firerate

This was so much more fun when the base jumper could still be toggled.

The fact that the vitasaw uses the heads system is so dumb and it would probably be a little gamebreaking(for killing vitasaw medics) if it was any good

Damn It's getting to the point where I feel like I could even get some of that RAID: Shadow legends money

This was amazing i think my mind exploded

Airstrike is a really cool weapon. Sadly I suck with it.

Thoughts on summer update coming?

10:00 you just need to bind jumping on scroll and train. You don't need to have above 60 fps. As a person who could consistently perform bhop to store a market garden crit even when having between 40 and 50 fps i'm sure that's bullshit.

@zenoooooo

Жыл бұрын

So it turns out there are two types of bhops- one that preserve momentum (frame perfect ones) and ones that preserve the rocket jumping status. The rocket jumping one has a variable frame (1-7) window depending on your server, but as I was practicing all of this on a local listen server they were one and the same to me. Another comment explained how it works to me and why It's much more consistent in real matches Although scroll wheel for jump just straight up never worked for me. Tf2 would drop mass jump inputs.

I honestly thought the "Raid SHadow Legends" was a joke :D cringed so hard when I realized it was for real xD

air strike + lisa music deserves a sub
