Rocket Launcher has tremendous possibilities for damage. Go for the body shots when you can. This is hard to learn as in every other incarnation of the RL you get a much stronger incentive to hit with splash damage vice direct hits. In TF2 you get huge rewards for direct and marginal for indirect hits.
The rocket launcher also has interesting push capabilities as well, leading to launching an enemy into the air and then hitting them directly with a rocket as they fall. This is an insta-frag for most anything. I've been getting better at this especially with the assistance of the gigantic hit box sizes for all the classes.
Rocket jumping is great for travel if you have a medic helping, otherwise it is a bit risky. The most useful rocket jumps I've found:
A right path hut -> C cap point on gravel pit
Grate in 2fort
Top 2nd to last point to last point in granary
Theres more but be inventive and try stuff to see if you gain anything worthwhile.
Also, soldier, like usual, is fantasically better if you are firing from above rather than attacking from below your opponent just as in any game. Standard deathmatch skills translate extrodinarly well into TF2.
