Let's Discuss Hornet!

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Hornet has balance, forget the extra helth, the balance is suberbly useful.

And there's the skidding, which causes you to slide anywhere but in the good direction.

Looks really cool and all... Though wasps will still outrun you, especially in the corners.

Yep, Hornet doesn 't outrun Wasps: and it mostly doesn 't need to outrun Wasps when equipped with

Thunder or Smoky.

Thunder is fine yeah, you need a direct hit as Smoky if you want to deal damage though. :wacko:

This is where skidding becomes a big problem in the corners.

Hornet has the skidding, but at M4 it 's a lot less of an issue in my experience than at M2.

At M2 it 's like on ice in turns...

I also kept the MU 's of the turning speed of Hornet M3 at complete zero and AFAIK this makes it even less.

(did some testing on the test server)

 

I drive both light hulls (Wasp M2/Isida M2) and the Hornet is outclassed by the Wasp in overall handling:

but the Hornet has other merits: armour and especially stability.

 

Ideally with Hornet you are totally indifferent in which direction you are moving!

That skill combined with a fast rotating medium- or long-range turret does mean you barely have to do

full circles/360 with your Hornet at all: and fully enjoy it 's benefits.

It can still do 360 's with relative ease but the Wasp is really build for doing them.

 

That 's why a Wasp can IMO be easily (and best) operated in Mosquito style.

When I 'm playing Wasp/Isida that 's what I do.

There is hardly any need to make directional changes like with the Hornet.

You can most of the time keep on driving in just one direction with the Wasp.

That could mean it 's even an "easier" hull than the Hornet... ;)

 

In general I prefer Hornet with medium to long-range weapons

and Wasp with short-range weapons: especially with Isida which self-healing

compensates Wasp 's lower HP very nicely.

Hoenet is a really blanened tank

Sliding can be useful, keeps you steady when firing and cornering at the same time.

blanened???

 

balanced? :)

Yep, it can be useful: but most of the times IMO it 's just a pain in the, some bodypart, if you ask me.

#peek-a-boo lol im too fast 4 them

[ReesAlvin 3]

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

You might have accidentally said the wrong thing, did you mean "what turret?' In that case, railgun, in my opinion and many others. If you look at the top of this page, you can see more stats and choices of hornet and _____ combos.
