Does hornet really give more health than wasp?

[E_polypterus 2,374]

Every time someone compares those two they say that hornet has more health and wasp has more speed. But if you look at the garage stats and wiki they show that both of them have the same health while wasp is faster(at mk7).

Hornet has more HP than Wasp in every modification except Mk1, Mk7 and Mk8. 

 

Also back before the update that merged the HP for each category, Hornet had more HP than Wasp.

Same at Mk1 and Mk7 and Mk7+, but then at the other Mk they unlock at different rank, this is why they are slightly different.

Wasp	Мk1	Мk2	Мk3	Мk4	Мk5	Мk6	Мk7	Мk7+
Rank Available From
Protection (hp)	1 000.00	1 176.47	1 264.71	1 382.35	1 500.00	1 617.65	1 764.71	2 000.00

Hornet	Мk1	Мk2	Мk3	Мk4	Мk5	Мk6	Мk7	Мk7+
Rank Available From
Protection (hp)	1 000.00	1 235.29	1 323.53	1 470.59	1 588.24	1 676.47	1 764.71	2 000.00

The difference is not significant. What would be significant is to buy the hull that unlock the earliest as you can then upgrade it earlier too, and that would be the wasp.

So wasp is just an upgrade from hornet?

Wasp is no upgrade from hornet or vice versa.     Although being both light hulls and having the same amounts of HP (eventually), both hulls function differently. While Wasp is faster and smaller, Hornet is more maneuverable and heavier thus more stable. In the end, it's up to ones preference which of these two hulls they choose; some prefer speed while others tend to choose for stability. 

 

Fun fact: in the very early days of TO (2010) - way before the first rebalance - Tanki released the hulls Hornet, Viking and Mammoth; they were called 'the second generation of hulls' and were intended upgraded versions of Wasp, Hunter and TiItan (guess which hull was an upgrade of which hull). So before the rebalance in 2012, Hornet was actually an upgrade from Wasp - but that was very long ago. Throughout the years, and through many rebalances, Hornet and Wasp are both well-balanced in stats: none of both is superior to the other

Fun Fact, for a while, before the Mk Conversion Change, Hornet M2 had less health and was slower than a Wasp M2. It was pretty interesting.
