Let's discuss Wasp!

[NoobTanker18 63]

Wasp m0 cannot go 12, it goes 10.  So yeah Viking on nitro is faster.

Oh, sweet! :D

I do not like the wasp because its easy to flip and light armour

Maybe you are using it wrong?

[NoobTanker18 63]

His statement has nothing to do with useage. He's explaining what happens when he is shot at. He gets flipped easily and it's too weak.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Sure it has to do with useage. You have to use your hull in a way / combine it with a turret / that makes your disadvantages count less - by going around them by the way you use it.

A wasp should be used in a way, that the low hp do not matter most of the time
and driven over ramps + used with a shot-timing, that prevents you from flipping

Example: Today I won a 1-1 vs an TitanM2/SmokyM2 on Sandbox, using my Wasp Rail (although it was my first battle of the day, mans I was in bad shape). Usually he should have shredded me to bits.. but he did not use his combo well.

I generally think wasp is better for ranged guns and hornet is better for melee.  Because of wasp's unique shape and where the turret is mounted it's better for peek-a-boo tactics.  It also has more speed so you can keep your distance from any melee turret.  Hornet has better control so it's probably better for attacking and flag-capturing. For example, freeze is better on hornet because hornet doesn't drift so you can run a smaller circle around tanks, making it harder for them to follow you, and it also has better acceleration, so if you quickly change direction they have a harder time copying your movements with their turret.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

hornet drifts more then Wasp.. it was just an inital mistake in the pre-update specs they released to us.

In the past a Wasp-Frezee was better due to sharper turns and thighter circles.. but as the turning acceleration of Wasp was reduced it is not so effcient any more

Wasp is much slower now than it used to be. I've had Vikings outrun me easily so using Wasp feels more like using a grossly outdated hull than a light fast one.

How can a viking outrun a wasp?  They must have had nitro on, or you're just a bad driver. (No offense :) )

It did not have nitro on. I think it may have been lag, but it was able to shoot me as well and do damage, so I'm not sure. Overall I have noticed that the difference in speed between Viking and Wasp is much less now, making Wasp almost obsolete.

[NANOBOT77 22]

Hello guys,I need an advice!So,I am a Hornet player,but after the rebalance Wasp can't be be one-shoted by railgun anymore!Also,I can buy Wasp at my next rank and it's cheaper and hornet is right there at the WO2 and more expensive!!!So,I need an advice because I already have Firebird and Smoky M1,but need a hull!

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Post this in "Which to Buy, Which is Better?" topic.

Wasp M2: Hey Hornet M2! Guess what!?

 

Hornet M2: Whut?

 

Wasp M2: I have more armor than you! *troll face*

 

Hornet M2: *self destructs*

Wasp m2 takes flag, crashes into wall because of drifting. Hornet: "Haha, now you're stuck with THAT. :D

Viking M2 with SMoky and drugs jumps the ramp on Monte Carlo, wastes everyone in sight then goes and caps the flag*

No, it lands on my mine :D.

It gets hit, but keeps going since it had DA and repairs itself :P

Nope, my freeze protection and your need to draw a wider circle, plus full health stop you in your tracks

Your freeze protection is hardly noticeable at so low a modification ;)

It's at M2 level with full MU and I keep going and i two shot your hornet M2 with my double damage smoky M1

Still hardly noticable.  And plus, what's to say I don't drug DA?  If you really want to see who performs better I will join some of your battles...Those who have seen me in battle know I'm good. 

 

I've fought many Viking/smokys, a lot of them had m2 smoky and m2 viking, and a lot of them were druggers...but there was not ONE that could give me much trouble.

You'd wipe me. I dont have freeze protection, plus im low ranked with M1s and you have M2 freeze and hornet I assume. That's an attack type of tank whereas mine is more of a support type, so i find myself supporting other players more than going out on a killing spree, and smoky isnt good for in-your-face combat especially against freeze. I am a well skilled player, but my tank wont match up to yours.

 

I fought a guy just last night who had m2 hornet and m2 freeze. i used a mine on him since he was right up my butt plus i had a repair kit to use so he died luckily. other than that he would kill me.

Well I'm glad you admit that..Of course, it's not a fair comparison to compare a player with m1s against a player with m2s.  When you get m2 smoky and m2 viking, we can play some battles together.   :) After you see me in battle and I see you, then we can discuss tactics and such. :)
