the Direct Hit has a 70% smaller blast radius than a traditional rocket launcher. But the rockets that come out of this thing move fast and hit hard: 80% faster and with 25% more destructive force. Best of all, for you real sharpshooters, the Direct Hit guarantees mini-crits on airborne targets.
As a soldier, I couldn't wish for anything better than this! Sadly it'll probably get nerfed into oblivion, but at least we soldiers might get to shine for a while instead of scouts and demomen

That might actually make me switch from sniper. That sounds incredibly abusive in the right hands.

If you feel more confident with a playstyle that is - Safe - Staying alive - Controlled - Γber based Then check out kyynel from Power Gaming.
If you prefer a playstyle that is a bit more - Risky - Aggresive - Prioritizing keeping teammates alive over yourself - Healing based Then check out agron from Team Dignitas.
Casey is by far the most entertaining medic to watch, as much due to the constant "IZZZZ DER A POINT TO YOUR LIVEZZZZZZZZ" spam as any of his ballsy plays. : 3

It's a little unclear to me how much 80% faster will be. Something around the huntsman or flare gun?
I think The Sword and Shield is far more awesome, To actually Charge from long range and into melee combat and hack someone up is far more fun than a missile ever will be.

casey has the best movement as medic i've ever seen/played against. he also has some crazy awesome plays like that granary ubersaw against loaded, but i think overall he makes a few more mistakes than the other top medics like pure and fragile
