Garage description:

 

Light hull. While turning can enter a brief drift. Overdrive allows seeing all enemies in battle.

Light hull with aerodynamic curves. Moves beautifully smooth, carefully sliding between obstacles and other tanks. Top-notch dynamic attributes are required for recon operations leading into a lightning-quick attack. Powerful radar, thermal visor, and multichannel system of communication allow the tanker to detect all enemy tanks in the battle, fully analyze their current status, and send orders to allies. Also, an automated system of data collection and processing enables the hull to stabilize each shot and hit the weak spots in target’s armor. This makes Hornet a must-have for any recon mission and quick strikes at the enemy base.

A very popular hull. 

Some people seem to think it's stronger than it actually is though..

I use it, and it's just great in my opinion ;)

This discussions is for a specific hull, like the other pinned ones.

Which is the best hull to use with it ? :)

You can't fit a hull, on a hull.

Anyway's; Hornet is a little dull once you've been playing with Wasp for longer.

 

 

Wasp is definitely better in stats, Way faster than Hornet.

And stability is something you can train.

Get Wasp.  :lol:

Sorry split, but i have to disagree with you.

I have m3 wasp and m3 hornet and i only use wasp when i use m3 isida or m3 smoky.

And in clan wars, it is definitely better to use either hunter or hornet than wasp.

Hornet has significantly more stability than wasp

Don't get me wrong, I love it. I just feel people expect too much of it.

In clan wars yes; though Wasp has another great ability.

Peek-a-boo tactics have never been easier because of the position of the turret.

+1 O.o

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

Never liked wasp that much... unless I'm collecting crystals, which hornet is better for anyway, as I've discovered.

[r_best1240 0]

I think that it is best to combine wasp and hornet.

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

Like a hornet-wasp? How would you shoot if wasp was mounted on your hornet? :P

[Moreuz 67]

Hornet is my personal fav. hull.

 

 

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas why hornet is so common? We cant see the statistic of hulls used but hornet must be the most common, on all ranks probably, by a very large amount.

 

 

I love Railgun and Hornet fits it excellent. Wasp is too unstable, not when driving but when taking hits. I often attack in "peekaboo" style and Wasp simply cant handle hits well from the sides.

Because Hornet is cheap and has stability,  and recently there has been a discount on Hornet. + Wasp sucks at M0 and M1, so people decided to go on with Hornet.

That's true, I've to agree :)

I expected better performances than those that I actually see, but when you get used to it you can be very good.

[mchen 162]

Wasp is better but I hate the BIG stability problem with it and it's much more expensive so I'm currently using hornet instead :)

[Godfa7her 17]

it turns out it is hornet vs wasps here

 

wasp is quite unstable even against a rail ( god forbids twin) while hornet is far more stable and is also lower then wasp .

 

otherwise it has the exact size to fit through spaces like in noise between the railing and that big tin hut etc. unlike any other i mean other then wasp.

also its hp is perfect to atleast prevent a direct hit from anything other then shaft ( it gives u some time to save urself or keep attacking if u were hit once which is no way possible for wasp

 

( ignore grammaticals )

[Remaine 4,687]

Firebird and Hornet got me 18k in two weeks; I love that combo..

Yeah this. I sometimes even think Hunter is weak , just because im a bit used to surveive much with M2 Mammoth :D

Hornet is fast , but to weak for me.
