The team is going to look something like this, right?

Scout: Apejack
Soldier: Kiwi
Pyro: Sabre
Demo: Ghib
Heavy: ???
Engineer: Max
Medic: ???
Sniper: Maybe Oni
Spy: Jeff

I guess Vicas and Shade will be put somewhere and anyone else who is playing?

I believe Azzy was the planned Heavy.

As for Medic... really, just someone talkative with a reliable mic and who knows how to use a mouse (note for Medics: Go into your multiplayer/advanced settings and change them to allow your medigun to heal without holding the button - this is good advice for everyone who ever plays Medic, really).

Yeah. If Vicas wants to, I think he could do good with Medic. He's talkative and it's something kind of simple (most other teams don't have Kiwi as their Soldier). Still requires a degree of alertness though, but that's easier than alertness + twitch aiming or whatever. I could Medic I guess, but that leaves us without a Scout... regardless, due to the significant time zone variance, we're going to want back-ups if needed, like if I'm not around or Azzy isn't or whatever.

Azzy would be a good Heavy.

We really need to get a few practice-type games together.

Also, on another note, borderless windowed mode, at your monitor's native resolution, is p. cool. You can switch to something else without the game lagging, and you've got fullscreen too. Dunno if anyone else knows about this.

in all seriousness can we talk some tactics here
pyro should stick with hoovy/med at ALL TIMES to block for spies, demo pairs up well with scout or soldier, spy, snoiper and engy are pretty much self explanatory

I'd like to state again that I can play any class besides Scout or Sniper, so if someone wants to swap for Engie once in a while, that's OK.

I'm not that good at Engineering on 5-point maps, but I know a lot of the spots/etc for Attack/Defense and Payload.

we could do a soldier/scout/demo squad maybe

idea being that each has some kind of fast movement thing and the scout would ideally distract the enemies if the big guys needed to fall back

in that case i'd want pyro and sniper to stick with hoovy and modic

while deathcore listens to deathcore

engy, engy...

surprise mini sentries and getting scoot or someone to lure people into your gun's range are the best ideas i have atm

in all honesty, our individual quality of player wasn't that much lower than them save the sniper, their soldier was meh-ish and the scout didn't harass for crap, and the spy one of us or another had a sightline on him almost always, so if we called him out we could've killed him much more
we lost because that was our very very very first match and we suck as a team

also, I think we should actually make a list of what person can play what effectively or something along that line to help choose what person to what class based on the people available, since we seemed to have had a bit of a run up of seeing who will play what class. (and I'm not just saying this for having to play pyro. >.>.<.<)

Alright, I've come up with an idea that might work, perhaps.

Group A: Soldier, Demo, Scout. These three are the most mobile classes, and Soldier and Demo are the two classes best equipped for point breaking. They would be the push group.

Group B: Heavy, Medic, Pyro, Sniper. These classes aren't especially mobile, but they do make a pretty powerful defense, or a fairly slow but usable hammer. The Medic could rotate over to group A to buff their health or maybe fling an uber out if a point was especially well held. In general, though, the Medic should stick with the Heavy and Pyro for protection. The Sniper will generally want to be near these guys, since this group has the two high priority targets (Medic and Heavy) for enemy Snipers. Pyro, obviously, spy checks, but don't forget the importance of neutralizing enemy spam with airblasts (even if pipes are on the ground, they're still dangerous - but if you switch the pipes' colors with an airblast, they can't hurt anyone on our team except you, Pyro, and even then they don't hurt as much as enemy pipes). Heavy+Medic is also vulnerable to rockets.

The Engineer will likely want to stay with his stuff, which means group B on defense. On Offense, he should mostly try to just get some kind of base up an maintain it. Pyro will need to guard the Medic, so you'll likely have to handle Spies some other way unless Group B is in the area.

Group C: Spy. The Spy is pretty useless if he's bunched with the rest of the team, after all.

Group C: Spy. The Spy is pretty useless if he's bunched with the rest of the team, after all.
On Offense, we may want to keep group B reasonably close to the front, as the Medic is a key player. If we're on offense and our front three die too much, we won't make any progess. Generally, on offense, play defensively, and on defense, play offensively.

Normally, for sentries, you would uber a Demo, but since we'll (hopefully) be playing as a team, we can just uber anyone, and have that person be closest to it while everoyne else picks at the sentry.

Unless we have a superb sniper (like the ones that can zoom in and get a headshot when going around a corner immediately, consistently), the Sniper should not be afraid to go Huntsman and spam arrows. Jarate is a must, its support value is irreplacable. Also, the Soldier should keep in mind that if you do enough damage to fill the Buff Banner, even if you don't have it equipped, if you go to spawn and switch (not by suiciding obviously, you'll have to manually walk/rocket jump back to spawn), your banner fill be full. But that should only be if it's convenient, Soldier should generally have Shotgun.

Since I'm likely to be Engineer often, my take on these groups:

Defense, just be defense. No real strategy needed there.

On the beginning of Offense, equip mini sentries and stick with front group to assisst harassment. Once we make some progress away from spawn room, switch to wrench/SH, and start making a base with teleporter, and stick with it.

On push maps/payload race (if they come up), I may want to switch to Soldier or Pyro... these are my weakest maps, as I rarely play them, but I imagine it's mostly like my Offense part.

On KOTH if it comes up: Mini sentry harassment.

On CTF if it comes up: Base turtling.

What I think our loadouts should be, generally:

Scout: Scattergun, Pistol, Aluminum Bat

Soldier: Rocket Launcher for defense (as they are likely to be lumped together), Direct Hit for defense (oppossite), Shotgun, Equalizer

Offense pyro: Flamethrower, Shotgun, Axtinguisher
Defense pyro: Flamethrower, Flare Gun, Axtinguisher (flare spam is surprisingly effective)
Babysitter pyro for defense/payload defense: Flamethrower, Flare Gun, Homewrecker, and stick with Engineer at his base and never stop randomly shooting fire everywhere.

Demoman: Defaults; maybe use the Axe, I've never used it, so I don't know how big the speed penalty is in practice, only the number.

Heavy: Defaults (melee up to you). Maybe use Natascha on push maps because that's where there's most likely to be stragglers.

Engineer: See my strategy

Medic: Defaults with Ubersaw. Your team should be doing the shooting, so you need the passive regen more than the Blutsauger. Ubersaw is pretty much a straight upgrade. There is rarely a situation where a Kritz will be more useful than an Uber. Maybe if we're about to lose and you don't think we'll have enough time to charge an Uber, but that's a stretch.

Sniper: Main weapon: See previous. Jarate, Kukri (don't use the Shiv; it does very little damage, and Bleeding barely takes it above Kukri damage and it takes a long time, plenty of time for them to get health)

Spy: Situational. I don't think the opportunity for the occaisonal headshot outweights the revolver's better everything else (the headshot can't do 125, IIRC).

Generally, be open to loadout changes, but there are only a few things I can NEVER see being useful enough to outweight their flaws compared to the other choices: Backburner (obviously), Razorback, and SMG (maybe use the SMG on very large maps where you are likely to be alone, but it should almost always be Jarate). I don't know if the Sandman is allowed, and I'm a terrible scout, so I'm going to stay away from that, but since we are (again, hopefully) going to be using teamwork, don't be afraid to equip Bonk and tell your demo you are going to distract a sentry. Since the Heavy will almost always be with the Medic, Chocolate bar is completely uneeded, and Sandwich is probably not as useful as the Shotgun, although it could bail your Medic out if he gets hit by a Flare or something, but I think generally, Heavy should have all default weapons (maybe with KGB).

Addionally, for Payload and Offense, one of the most effective things I've done is literally to mob together. All nine people stick together. And I mean really together, no running off if you see someone. Mini sentry and mini crit boosters (banner, jarate, NOT kritz; keep regular medigun) help a lot here.

the axe penalty is pretty hurtful for so little return; it leaves you inable to retreat at low health and only -really- provides use in sneak attacks or against bad scouts

Posting here because I got around to making an account. I'll try using jarate next time, I usually use all standard sniper weapons all the time. The SMG will be a bit of a loss for me but it does very little damage anyway and anyone I kill with it would probably die anyway.

Like I said, it's just so versatile.

And if you're going to be sticking with group B, the SMG is even less needed.

I want to add that I think that I am pretty good at close-up support sniper (Bow, Jar, Kukri). Taking meatshots after jarating while you're with teammates can really help you kill people, because that's about 90 damage very quickly. However, I admit that a good rifle sniper who can consistently get headshots is preferable generally, but think about it.

Honestly, if you're using jarate, you really should use the shiv. The minicrit bleedout is worth the lessened instant damage.

In addition to what I said before, keep in mind that the Huntsman taunt CAN stun an uber, which is pretty useful if you can pull it off (uber a sniper with the huntsman? Stop an enemy uber cold!). If they uber a Heavy, they're usually more distracted by other things to worry about a WM1ing SNiper. and if not, they probably wastd their uber anyway.
