A well timed jarate can be lethal, those mini-crits can wipe out a group with a heavy launching into them.

The scout drink is great for distracting SG's too. 
Jarate and Uber is the new Blitz and Uber?

It's not really a replacement but it can certainly invoke a few seconds of panic and confusion in the enemy, enough to break their attack/defense.
Definitely, especially when there's a lack of medics wielding the standard medigun.

Thirding that. I took out 2 sentries as Demo by a Scout distracting them. Wouldn't have been able to unless I'd had an uber (which takes time to build up)The scout drink is great for distracting SG's too.
The last cp on badlands is usually protected by an SG off to one side in front of the cap.
But you can Bonk! your way past and squeeze into the corner of the cap just out the senties reach for an infuriatingly quick cap
theyve started putting them under the walkway right in front of the cap too
theres a little hole under that room with the Health/Ammo in, facing towards the cap

Had a lot of fun with the Huntsman last night. I was getting head shots left, right and centre. 
I was thinking more of the Razorback.
Its been completely canceled out by the Ambasador. The spies can no longer stab you, but they can single shot headshot you with the ambasador instead..... so its pointless.
The Sandvich is utterly pointless tho. It takes longer to eat than it would to just run to the nearest health pack, and your a stationary sitting target when eating it...

True, Jarate does seem a lot more useful than the Razorback, its a good idea but why would a spy try and backstab you when they can plainly see it?

I think im finally getting the hang of the sniper, only played about 30 mins with him, but last night i seemed to click, was playing on the hampshire heavys server on a map called redfort, got quite a few kills before a lucky bowman killed me just as i killed him.
i don't get why the huntsman is the wrong way round in first person view?
should be on the right of the screen, surely
This is what threw me off too when I first got it. I guess it's so sniper is pulling the bow back with his stronger (right) arm.
No confirmation but it stinks of bs, makes no sense why they would leave out other classes.

It would still be on the wrong side of the screen, you draw with your right arm to your right eye, so the bow is sort-of on your right hand side
