sasha vs. tasha... where, when, and why?

i think the title pretty much covers my question... what say you HWGs? 

i use natasha  when i have good support on my team, (snipers, spies, demo's) to give them a little more time to get that shot off.

Sasha when I wanna do some damage and step up for my team.

sasha is excellent for  arena, since it's not a big map & slowing down on such a short distance would make any difference

Natascha is next to useless in comp play.

For pubbies, it gets the job done, just not as quickly as Sasha can. And you better pray that there's not another Heavy creeping around the corner with Sasha.

The only thing I really like about the new weapon is the fact that it's much, much quieter. You can rev and fire without revealing yourself to the majority of the enemy team.

I don't like Natascha very much, only because it isn't really needed. The heavy's ideal purpose is raw firepower that can do damage. Since Natascha has less damage, it defeats that purpose. Yes it does slow enemies down, but walking around trying to kill basically scouts is not what the heavy is for. Besides, the worst that can happen with a scout is he will run away and you will not get the kill. Whether you have Natascha or Sasha, the scout can't hurt you.(unless you suck)

What the people above me said. Natascha came close to having a use when I played competitively in ideal conditions... But no dice.

Always Sasha, haven't even tried Natascha even tho I unlocked it sometimes ago. But I think Natascha has a lot left to be discovered if you are focusing on tactics.

I've seen Natascha used quite effectively on a pub where there were 2 heavies (it was a 12 player team) on defence. One takes Natascha and one takes Sasha, working together, there were pretty much impossible to escape from.

That's how i've been rolling... I slow the fast ones with Tasha, and let the other HWG handle damage dealing with Sasha, the 2 together can break almost any scout/pyro rush the other team can throw at you... as stated, it is only realistic as defensive tactic (unless an engie is really on the ball with their teles)
