−
Gunboats greatly increase a Soldier's mobility, allowing him to rocket jump several times even without the aid of a [[shotgun]]. Because of this, they are often used by [[Roaming Soldier|Roamers]] in both [[6v6]] and [[Highlander]]. [[Pocket|Pockets]], instead, rarely use them, because the lack of a Shotgun reduces their ability to protect the Medic.

This reduction of reliance over medics allows for a much more aggressive playstyle and more effective [[Rollout|rollouts]]. Thanks to the combined action of a Medic and the Gunboats, a roaming soldier can arrive to [[Medic]] with full or almost full [[Ubercharge]].

−
The main advantage of the Gunboats is the lack of a Shotgun, which allows Soldiers to properly protect their Medic, and makes encounters with [[Sniper|Snipers]] and [[Medic|medics]] less likely to be won. Generally speaking, however, the lack of a cleaning weapon, combined with the [[Rocket Launcher|launcher's]] slow reload can greatly help the Gunboats-using Soldier in long or multiple-enemies fights.
+
The main disadvantage of the Gunboats is the lack of a Shotgun, which prevents Soldiers from properly protecting their Medic, and makes encounters with [[Scout|Scouts]] and [[Pyro|Pyros]] less likely to be won. Generally speaking, however, the lack of a cleaning weapon, combined with the [[Rocket Launcher|launcher's]] slow reload can greatly harm the Gunboats-using Soldier in long or multiple-enemies fights.
−
Additionally, Soldiers using Gunboats must use more rockets to execute Escape Plan rollouts, but this is allways a problem thanks to their decreased rocket jump mobility.
