Editing Gunboats

== Overview ==
The Gunboats are a secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]] which reduces blast damage from rocket jumps by 60%. The damage reduction is not applied to self-inflicted damage from rockets that injure enemies and do not provide the Soldier with reduced fall damage. When equipped by a roaming Soldier, the Gunboats allow him to transition quickly throughout the map.

The advantages of gunboats are mostly used by roaming soldiers in 6v6 competitive, and sometimes by the soldier in Highlander (9v9). They reduce the need of heals, and increase mobility.

The disadvantages of gunboats are that on rollout, it's difficult to use the escape plan to middle because you take reduced damage, and that you cannot use the shotgun, so your fire power is reduced by a large amount.

-Widely regarded by many as the one true [[Shotgun]] sidegrade [[Glossary#Unlocks|unlock]] for Soldier, the '''Gunboats''' are an item that allow a trade-off between damage output and mobility. They are known to be used in all formats.
+The disadvantages of gunboats are that on rollout, it's difficult to use the escape plan to middle because you take reduced damage, and that you cannot use the shotgun, so your fire power is reduced by a large amount.
-==Advantages==
-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]].
-==Disadvantages==
-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.
-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.
