Wasp Vs Hornet

[SuperPenguin 6]

The wasp is now much faster than hornet. This does not change the gameplay though. The wasp is still incredibly light and will roll. It was not made to go that fast because I will be going on nitro and be shot and I will just end up upside down. So for all the people that are complaining about it I say don't worry. People will still choose hornet due to its stability and the wasp is still very weak, we can all agree that it is very fun shooting off of silences cliff with into on though:)

Most people arent complaining about performance at all! Even if you think hornet's speed trade off isnt worth the little bit of extra hp its fine because hornet unlocks earlier than wasp and is cheaper. Most people are actually complaining that hornet should be the fast one instead of wasp due to its past legacy and its more futuristic look and design compared to the un-aerodynamic and boxy wasp that was once the starting tank.

 

Hornet flips as well if getting hit on the sides while turning sharply at high speeds. Im 90% sure they weigh the same. Main difference is that wasp is tall and narrow so it has high center of gravity so it can flip A BIT easier, hornet's stability mainly comes from its slower speed and to a lesser extent its shorter and wider hull, doesnt mean its stable at all, just a bit more than wasp.

 

If theres anything that should be changed, its the stat-swap of hornet and wasp. If hornet was to be buffed then so should its rank requirement and price ( or make wasp less costly and ealier to get)

um is it just me or were discussing the weight and speed of both hulls. Lex here (my friend and knows TOO MUCH about Tanki that always analysed and talked everything about speed, weight, damage of weapons per m's and mostly some players good skills EVERYDAY) says that "the lighter it is the weaker and faster the hull is but the heavier it is the slower and powerful the hull is" um i think hes right about it is he?

Really? I never knew that. It's such an unobvious and unheard of fact... How revolutionary (!)

I like the hornet for its stability but I like the wasp because it is fun to play with it :D

+ wasp is for fast&fun hornet not so fast but compensates it with his HP so all is =

If you think you are ok with hornet's stability , then wasp will be stable for you. If you think hornet is unstable and easy to flip, then so is wasp (for you). If you can live with wasp's looks, higher price and rank requirement, then wasp >hornet. If you want stability and hp choose another hull, because hornet isnt a stable and tough tank. The 16hp for 1.7 speed trade off isnt worth it. 1.7 is a HUGE improvement, but 16 hp is not. But if you cant wait so long for wasp then hornet, but in reality its 16 hp will not be a

big difference, probably just lets you win a 1 vs 1 with someone using wasp and the same turret, and gives you a bit more chance to survive a railgun shot. For them to be on the same level hornet will need more hp and as difficult to get as wasp which wont happen because tanki wants some hulls to be better than others (viking and dict) But for the meantime they should really swap the tanks around.

They are not equal stat wise. Main advantage of hornet= affordability. If you want stability and hp look for hunter dict or viking, hornet hp does not compensate for speed. In this game, even 0.5 speed makes a noticably big difference, not to mention 1.7. While pre-rebalance 16 ho was a big deal, now with all the hulls almost doubling and increased dps of guns 16 hp just doesnt cut it. AT LEAST 25, but then hornet should be as hard to get as wasp.

twins are very effective against wasps

railgun and shaft is most uneffective against wasps.

what are you saying :lol:

rail/shaft one hit = wasp boom

chiyaProgrammer, I think he's talking about how small and quick they are that it is easier to miss them than a tank such as mammoth.

[BCEM_BCTATb-OMON 4]

Shaft and rail both can one shot wasps, except its much easier for the rail to shoot.

my wasp m1

 

And isida can defeat a railgun

My hornet m2 and isida m2 can easly destroy 2 thunders m1 or 2 on any hull. Just unbeliebeable

Since rail m3 can one shot wasp any level unless wasp gets lucky, you either have to grab some rail protection like picasso or tundra, or trick the railgun into shooting early and use the 7-8 or so seconds to kill him (hopefully). The best victims for isida are those dps weapons with the exception of a freeze that has space to back off.

2 shots from m2 thunder take out m2 hornet right ??? well guessing coz it has 80 damage

I tried Wasp and loved it!! I use almost only Railgun and I could battle effectivly and stay alive thanks to the agility and speed. But this isnt the only thing that makes Wasp so great.

 

I pretty much always drive it backwards. Almost nothing of the tanks hull goes past the turret so when youre in a position to fire its a harder target to hit. Also the Wasp, thanks to its short hull, rocks a little bit more on the springs than any other tank, when you breaks. This makes me hit things a little bit outside of the Railguns very limit traverse a bit easier as I can time the shot with how I break.

 

 

Wasp rules! If you want to play in the style of being agile and avoid hits, I strongly recommend Wasp over Hornet.

 

Btw, Railgun doesnt have such a strong recoil anymore, so it works good with Wasp, in terms of balance.
