Red hornet-booster vulcan user with double my number of kills (with vulcan but no booster or hornet overdrive).

Heat immunity?  continuous fire with no overheating?

Seeing a bunch of those - even at FieldMarshal ranks - buyers.

The ones that are more deadly are RAT Vulcans on Hornet. I've been in battles where both an RAT and an IB Vulcan are on Hornet on the same team and the RAT Vulcan always outscores them because they can kill enemies faster and more comfortably.

Vulcan noise shooting continuously is a hindrance to my ears. Now Twins is not the only turret who requires a brick on a space bar.

Because Hornet OD ignore spawn invulnerability. Enjoy.

What really? That sucks!

Hornet with Booster drone, liberal use of DD and any high dps (Vulcan/Firebird) turrets should get you under OD 50% of the time. Also, the latest rage seems to be rushing enemy bases and go on spawn killing sprees - 2-3 Hornets will dominate and can win a game by themselves doing this repetitively. Because Hornet OD ignore spawn invulnerability. Enjoy.

It ruins the game. Been on the receiving end of this. Not sure how others don't see this as ridiculous. Everyone complaining about shafts or others spawn killing a few years back should at least speak up. I know the Wasps bombs don't spawn kill because I survived one the other day.

I've been seeing some strange numbers recently using Hornet/Vulcan. The overdrive doesn't seem to be working against some players. DD and overdrive active I should be getting 200HP per tick but I'm getting nowhere near that on some hulls, what's going on? Have I missed something?

Can you explain in more detail?

I've lost track of the updates on this game but yes they must all be using heat immunity. That would make it insanely op.

I just came back, and overdrives are a thing now. cool, but hornet's overdrive seems far worse than every other overdrive. Can someone explain how to use it effectively? because right now it seems like it only works on people with a shield powerup, and that is a VERY narrow use for an overdrive, especially when you have another hull that has the same health, is faster, and drops nukes.

Hornet has the best overdrive. I will explain:

1) it can see through walls. And see enemies life bar when close.

2) it ignores every protection in the game. It ignores double Armor, it ignores protection modules it ignores Titan's overdrive and it ignores spawn protection (spawn protection is a new mechanism. It gives you 100% protection for a few seconds after spawning)

The second point allows people to use turrets like railgun, Magnum and gauss( a new turret which can one shot a heavy hull with double damage and has a huge splash radius) and get garanteed one shot kills. There is no way to counter these people other than to kill them.

I think that hornets OD needs a serious BUFF

What about this... ?

"Double Damage, Double Armor and Speed Boost bonuses are always active on the Juggernaut."

Make it impervious to any damage (including Juggernaut's turret) for the duration of the OD.

I think this is false. There is no double armor on juggernaut. A Magnum shot deals full damage with or without hornets overdrive. It is just cosmetic.

I will verify again today to make sure and correct myself if im wrong.

Edit: verified that juggernaut doesn't have double armor active.

I feel like all the supplies that the juggernaut has displayed are just that. A display.

Yes they are. So noobs do not take the drops on the battlefield.

[fghj240 3]

Augh. I feel like hornet doesn't have an OD sometimes. 

Probably cuz most of the time I forget about it. Don't get me wrong, I am a dedicated hornet user, but seriously, sometimes It's so damn annoying when you get one hit by the juggernaut, or 2 hit by a dd thunder.

And then again, wasp's OD can turn the tide of battle, especially on assault, by blowing up all the tightly compacted defenders so the attackers can score en masse.
Titan's OD can place a protective shield, basically granting their team invulnerability.
Viking's OD can turn your tank into a anihhilation machine.

And hornet... Can see enemy health bars? Like seriously, people tell me it's great but in battle it REALLY doesn't seem like it.

Didn't we have this conversation already. 

The overdrive is weak at low ranks but at mid-high ranks, it is god. Wait until you see rgc Magnum, destabilization/LCR railgun. They can one shot anything except juggernaut and sometimes heavy hulls. 

At low ranks the most powerful overdrive is dictator. So if you want a good overdrive, use dictator and switch to hornet at higher ranks.

I know, but it doesn't FEEEEEL like that. Ugh. Anyway, I can't use dictator because It's only Mk1 vs my hornet Mk3. I'll try to level up with hornet.

THAT is felt by everyone. Even by buyers and all imo. Every time you use something that was said to be op or the current meta it would still require some sort of work to get good results.

If it were powerful the moment you get your hands on it in battle it would be something like the juggernaut.

For example, the current meta is hornet-Vulcan so I tried it on an alternate acc but I didn’t perform that well I thought it would(I could’ve tried harder tho). But then again maybe it’s because Vulcan with hornet just doesn’t suit my gameplay
