When is the Kritzkrieg preferable to the Medigun

Question

When I play as a medic I almost always use the medigun. In what situations is the Kritzkreig more useful?

Answer

First, you need to look at when the übercharge is useful: taking out entrenched engineer nests, and leading a strong push. This makes übercharge particularly useful for spearheading an assault.

On the other hand, the Kritzkrieg is useful for countering a push, because it lets someone push out a large amount of damage in a short span of time. Use the kritzkrieg to clear contested points, hunt down regrouping enemies, etc.

The Kritzkrieg also charges faster. If you're finding you often die before you get a chance to deploy an übercharge, you might try switching to the kritzkrieg, as you'll build up the kritz-über faster.
