Without the Thermal Thruster, it's a bit harder for the BLU's to catch rebelling RED's. Usually pyros cant chase the rebellers during the game, so why not add an advantage? (unless your matt bhopping) Especially scouts, it could be easier to catch the RED's without needing to usually bhop

Don't play pyro play another class soldier also demos can get instant bhop speed with rockets and stickies respectively but with a cost of self damage or can't damage in general if they are using the jumper variants, giving pyro a powerful close range class a way to get easy bhop is kinda cringe.

True, but when dealing with classes that are harder to bhop with, its an advantage for pyros, and i would play pyro to get damage off a rebeller.

Its a perfectly fair weapon to use. It takes away a seconday for a pyro but gives him the mobililty to keep up with bhoping reds not only that it, if warden needs a quick way to back up this weapon is perfect, finally the taunt kill is just 2 funny
Compare that with a Powerjack, and you can catch up to a bhopper. You basically fly in to the guy, then use the powerjack for a speed boost, and then kill them with a flamethrower. (unless your matt who is a extremely good bhopper)

If a blu uses the thermal thruster and faces front and they press M1 if they time a jump they'll get a boost for bhopping

How do you know?

It definitely gives a massive bhop boost when you launch forward I played on blackwonder when jungle inferno first dropped, both teams had access to the gas passer/thermal thruster the thruster was removed from blackwonder and by extention flux for a reason.

Idk how it would work but, if it was readded, it disables bhop from the item

True. I even saw a red use B-hop boost from the Thermal thruster during a class wars LR yesterday.
