Picking on hornets

[eessydo 17]

M3 hornet with a nitro all u see is a glimpse of thier paint then there gone

 

Hornet would be a killer hull if it wasn't for freeze and to a lesser extent rico. But I must admit, if I see a hornet with isidia or freeze mounted on it. I try to shoot it dead as quickly as possible. They just don't have the HP so it is an easy choice.

 

PS. I rarely shoot the enemy right infront of me if he has a convoy of isidia's behind him.

What can I say? We didn't pick viking like everyone else so we get picked on. You can take it.

I attack hornets cause they are easy to kill :D

But I prefer killing dictators cause they r week unless they r m3, and they are big

[awkstremer 1]

order of which i shoot people:

1) druggies

2) strong looking people. For Example: good paints or high rank.

3) Idiots who annoy me. If team kill is on i shoot the low ranks to make them leave. Or flip them over.

4) non-drugging average tank.

4) random passerby person who's so freakin slow i pity them.

God, I love killing hornets... they're damn fast, but only effective on certain maps. They're like what the hunter is to the tier 1 family; it works, but not quite as well as it should have. The Wasp works because it is significantly faster than any of the other tanks, and still fairly stable. An m3 hornet on nitro taking a tight turn will basically flip itself over. Its too fast to be practical. Hence my not using it, and my love for killing them, because they almost flip over whenever you hit them.

ok, so I have a hornet. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I'm sniped by three m3 rails all at the same time. Why?!!?

[Ultradc 9]

Well, I was in a game capturing lots of flags, and railguns didn't stop me. xD

:p

some railgunners team camp ie we all cover one area and team up to shoot whatever comes into the area so if one tank comes up we all shoot at once trying to steal the others kill. and we love shooting anything that is ohko usually hornets :lol:.

[chriswu 25]

king_beast, why do you say "we"? Railgunners can be anyone. (In fact, its my most used weapon) Railgunners aren't a generic group of people.

[r_M1A-Abrams0 1]

I have thunder m3 and always trying to attack hornets first becouse for me as for all thunder players if enemy gets close you will demage not only him but yourself as well

so better to kill fast guy first and then slow one so you will have some chance to survive

[king_beast88 19]

i mean it as general consensious "if i spelled that right". con-sense-ious i bet that is spelled wrong. anyway ive played with some railgun users that dont play like that but i do play that way and most teams im on that have railgun users on it play like that.

[Goldeneagle 9]

I have noticed that people are always trying the shoot hornets lately, ik ur supposed to get score bt srsly???

 

a viking is right infront of this moron and the moron snipes me 5 miles away??WTF?? the viking had 1Hp and i had full but this moron still had to shoot me on purpose just because i'm a hornet? WTF??

 

has any other hornets have this problem?just wondering...

They cant see how much HP enemy has.

5.)Easy Kills Example:M0 Dictators,M1Dictators,M0hornets,Wasps(M dont matter)

 

 

Cab, I think you just answered your own question here. While you try to claim you shoot M0 hornets first, most of the time you can't really delineate between M0's and M3's unless you are close enough to guage there speed.

 

I don't think you care anyway, bottom line is max HP on a hornet is 100, Max HP on a viking is 150. I think we all know what unit is easier to kill. So quit whining and start dodging more bullets.

lol you're going specific

[cablaz 32]

Hornets FTW in Long Ranged CTF

[r_Justen0 9]

Nah, viking has plenty of speed on Nitro... and more health

[cablaz 32]

Viking dont got hornets speed hornet M1 speed same as viking M3, Plus hornet is smaller and faster which makes it a less visable target

[Goldeneagle 9]

Waste of time.

[cablaz 32]

Noob -.-

I will admit hornets are hell to hit from the front, but still... anything faster than an m3 wasp is really not necessary. The hornet is just too unstable (not to mention I can uppercut one with my railgun and flip it on its top) to be viable. If a hornet has our flag, and is drugging, I could hit it with my m2 railgun on double power and flip it on its side when it turns

[cablaz 32]

Flipin a hornet isn't as easy as you think

[king_beast88 19]

true i have hit hornet m-0 to m-2 with my railgun on double power and slightly under 50% of time they flip as they can manuever the tank will tipping to avoid flipping or use recoil on thier gun to even out. so the skill use goes both ways. hornet are stable if properly used but mildly difficult to master.

M1 Hornet HP = 71

 

M3 Viking HP = 150

 

So that is more than twice the availble HP in the M3 Viking. Speed and turning capability is the same. Stability well viking is the clear winner.

 

I can take up to three M3 rail shots no shield with an M3 viking, M1 hornet you get hit once and its back to the respawn area. We can compare M3's if you want, but still viking is the better unit. The only asset of a viking is speed/maneuverability, in the other two major capabilities it is severely lacking.

 

HP

Stability

 

 

Enough said.
