Too early to tell. Granted it’s quite annoying, like a second FaN designed to annoy the demo and medic instead of the scouts, but the limited playtime it has gotten so far, especially on a high level, gives very little insight to whether it’s even VIABLE. Most soldiers seem to like the feel and concept of it, but are still experimenting with whether losing all that splash is really worth it.

My gut feeling would be to remove minicrits, for obvious reasons.

on topic: I think minicrits were a nice idea indeed, however the damage bonus + minicrits might be too much :)

i fully agree with that !!!

It’s not the damage bonus, it’s that mini-crits ignore fall-off damage. Long range direct hit does only 58dmg. But with mini-crits it doesn’t do 58*1.35 but 130(or whatever the point blank damage is the tdh)*1.35

The minicrit dmg is 152,but if the enemy jumps at your face can be up to 180ish.

Minicrits have no fall off. However they do have ramp up, so thats why it can be higher then 151 damage if you fire close range.

Also, another possible change could be the following:
– removing the +25% damage
– keep the minicrits
– add a little splash range

This would mean no more instagibs, unless the scout jumps in close range and you direct him.

Minicrits on airshots are personally rather unnecessary, but the weapon is already pretty limited as it is so I’d really be fine with just increasing the distance your victim need to be over the ground to get a minicrit.

A lot of people are whining about it being OP, but that’s not really the case. The vanilla rocket launcher is one hell of a lot more effective under most circumstances and the TDH needs to be better in certain aspects to be worth using.

rezOnance, a promod should be avoided at all costs, as splitting competitive from pub community makes transition more difficult and will overall hurt competitive. I’m not sure which is worse for community growth between banning and promod, but I reckon it’s more difficult for newbies to get into the idea of a promod contrary to just playing with one weapon disabled.
