Let's Discuss Hornet!

[Truthteller 4,204]

it is good against noob low rankers, but as you progress, players learn to aim better and drug hard, which makes light hulls useless (except in ctf format)

Light hulls can drug too ^_^

hornet m4 with DA = 4000hp

with RK = ~8000hp

 

titan m4 with DA = 8000hp

with RK = ~16000hp

 

not much chance of hornet killing the titan

You were just saying how m1 hornet was amazing why the sudden opinion change? magnum shafts and railguns?

Did I? My Hornet M1 is weak and unbalanced easily, I thought that's what I have been saying all along?

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

Hunter is my main for capturing points (It's also my only hull) I mean

hunter is so balanced- looks fine too.

[Im_a_tanki_master 62]

What should I do, micro-upgrade hornet fully or buy at Warrant Officer 2?

[Im_a_tanki_master 62]

If so, micro-upgrade hornet fully to M1 or buy at Warrant Officer 2. If you prefer hunter, stick with it!

They nerfed the repair kit, so now noob titans can't play the tactic of waiting until they're almost dead before pressing 1.

They are not supposed to go toe-to-toe.

 

Hornet will use speed and DA more often for things like capping flags or capturing Points on larger maps.

 

Sure - on smaller maps might not be as effective. 

Just like Mammoth is not going to cap often in Kunger unless it has 2 Isidas following it.

Actually the mammoth just needs to drop the flag in front of a hornet in their base, then go back to the enemy base and go suicide mode B)

Look at wasp m2 and then look at hornet m2 stats...WHY SHOULD YOU EVER BUY A HORNET? The wasp has more hp and it is faster and also smaller... just why? Only for a lower price and a bit lower level? The m2 wasp is better than the m2 hornet in basically every single way....(other than pushing maybe... but who cares?)

Agree, Wasp is more fun to play with than Hornet. :ph34r:

You have stated precisely the reason. Early M2's seem to be powerful, but what would I know, I've never been to those ranks. If you're one of the only ones with a M2 at WO4 up to early Lieutenant ranks, you're gonna be pretty powerful.

Exactly man.I started playing this game back in 2013 and i had a captain account and everything was fine (then like a stupid kid i game my code away and got hacked).So back then it was simple, wasp faster and less hp hornet slightly slower but more hp in all m's but now after the changes m2 hornet is only good if you want to play early against m1s but in comparison to m2 wasp it it worse in almost every aspect.Same exact thing with hunter m2 which has less hp and less speed than viking m2.... and hunter m1 has more armor and more speed than dictator m1.... all those unbalanced things that noone knows of...

Those weaker m2's are for people who want early m2's. I am one of them. I got avalanche. I can get hornet m3 much earlier than I could get wasp m2/m3. I agree that hornet m2 isn't very good if to youse against m2's, but with 3 MU-s it it ain't that bad. You can't make early m2's too good, otherwise they will be too OP and dominate every battle, which I am not doing with my avalance kit

Wasp unlocks much later... you would have upgraded your hornet to the same level by that time.. excluding the price difference..

You rank is too high to buy M1. You can only mircoupgrade M1 Hornet to a M2 hornet if you have the actual M1 Hornet, not the fully mircoupgraded M0 hornet. However since your rank is the rank which M2 hornet unlocks, you can no longer buy M1 Hornet even if you fully mircoupgrade your M0 hornet. Edited August 7, 2017 by sorenson_2015

hornet m2, mammoth m2, or 8th upgrades on hunter and digital?

[TheBlackChick 319]

Titan > Mammoth in most of the cases so I don't think it's worth it. Hornet M2 is just terrible at your rank, unless you want to get involved into XP/BP. Personally, I would never buy these 2 hulls.

MUing digital doesn't really seem worth the investment right now so I think you should upgrade your Hunter as it's a rather good hull.

yah I did that. I almost bought rico m2 yesterday but I forgot about the discount because I fell asleep early. Only need 13k for my 9th upgrade.

I love the shape of hornet.And it's pretty quick for a tank so...medium-ish?It has quite a lot of health if you upgrade it too.

Nah, light :P I don't really like it, it's health is quite bad for me :/

yah hornet is bad at higher especially the m2 version if you look at the stats but you just need to micro-upgrades then it will work just fine

[player_03 90]

If you gotta use a fast hull then wasp or viking is better

[omarjuly17 0]

It is amazing with dictator and hornet, but I use lots of double damages
