A little update: Rocket Jumping with the Gunboats will lessen your distance. You take less splash damage from your rocket, not giving you as much airtime as you normally would get.
Hey great tutorial! I never liked soldier until i saw some dude do some awesome rocket jumps so i tried it and by far my favorite class now! Your tutorial is great too! Is there any difference if i jump crouch shoot vs crouch jump shoot?
@Jaesik23a I found that if I crouched after I jumped, I'd sometimes release it too early and end up doing a half-assed jump. But since you should be holding crouch all throughout the jump anyways, either order works fine, it's just personal preference.
You'd be surprised how many don't. But you're right, this is very basic stuff. Nothing really needs to be taught past this, any other advanced jumps are just based on these.
Yes you can. Try it. Tap crouch, and IMMEDIATELY afterward jump. Yes, it's unnecessary, but I found myself occasionally shooting the rocket while not crouched, resulting in some bad jumps. This is to make sure that you are crouching before you fire.
lol he didn't crouch

I basically learned all the rocket jumping basics on it. Normal jumps, horizontals, wall climbs, big air strafes, etc.

Good video, but basic stuff. Most soldiers probably know this.

sliced to the left a bit on the horizontal, that would get you owned up cause it'd leave you wide open to snipes. otherwise good jorb

Yea, these are by no means optimal jumps. It's an issue for me though, and I'll try to work on it. Thanks for the comment!
