So played with this for a while yesterday and people are still getting used to the new feature. Here are some things Ive noticed while crit ubering people.

1. Many time people dont know they are crit ubered even though there weapon is sparking like a mofo...so tell them like a good medic should.

2.People are all too ready to jump out and get themselves blowen away(wasting a critskrieg)...remind them they arent not invun and need to maintain cover.

3.Good results Ive seen from the use of this feature

a. A critskreiged heavy plowing through a long hall is easy...as long as there is no regular counter uber.

b.A critskreiged soldier with good aim / leading skills taking out defenders at range.

c.A reugular uber coming into to the last point in dustbowl while then a critskrieged heavy coming in beind and wasting anyone that respawns.

d. Simutanious use of critskrieg and regular uber on a heavy at the end of dust destroyed all defenders...the critscrieged medic needs to maintain cover behind the ubers or something else. 

4. Possible uses I like to see done

Defensive

a. Use crits critskreg on a demo and let him place 8 crit stickys (at a CP, corner or level gate prior to rnd start) have the demo blow each sticky 1 by 1 instead of all at once that way you have a longer and better chance to do more damage to the enemy.  8 crits could mean 8 enemys killed on a blind corner is succession.

Offensive

a. Clearing a counter attack on a cap. Example: Cap C on Gravel pit. Blue attacks with uber makes it up. Red responds in mass. Critskrieged demos or soldiers clear red from cap by attack from middle A route at range and sends most of red to respawn. This will give the seconds needed to cap the point.

4. Using 2 soldiers launch in succession launch 8 crit rockets to decimate an area. Crit uber first solly he lets four go then switch it to next solly he lets 4 more fly.

Most server have been to caotic to try to attempt these but I'd like to hook up with some of you all and see if they are effective tactics.

Anyone else have any more ideas or have seen other effective uses I'd love to hear them.

This will henceforth be known as a "Cruber".

I think it said the firing rate is slower with the Ubersaw

HAHA stupid horse, the sign says Deer crossing

the kriztcrieg is awesome, but it works best at choke points.  The temptation is to run out in the open and start firing which gets you and the medic killed.  Another use is with a pyro assaulting a  sentry but you need to get  someone in closer than the pyro-medic to draw its fire long enough for the flame to take it out.  It was also good coming up behind an opposing group.  You can take out the whole group with 4 crit rockets before they even know you're there (2 Fort through the sewers, dustbowl flanking left on second point behind the rock on 2nd map phase).

defending against it involves getting away from it and/or killing the medic (as usual).

So my grand theory is this:
Offense: Normal-Uber
Defense: Crits-Uber

My Rationale:
Offense is about breaking choke points and destroying sentries. You'll need a shield to break through these obstacles. Or you need me as a spy and sap everything...lolz. (Tripmines?)

Defense is about killing waves and waves of attackers, making sure they don't amass enough guys to overflow your defense. So you'll need a very sharp meat-grinder to chew through these waves. A crit-uber works also because defenders are rarely the focus of heavy fire (i.e. you're always in a building vs. offenders are always in the open, hence you'll survive longer.

P.S. Yes you can crit-uber when carrying the flag. (Jackpot!)
