If you want to be an annoying piece of metal who is sitting ducks and blocks his team-mates from hitting the enemy then you should buy dictator.

Its your gaming style: Are you taking flags all time or defending? And as allways it is question about price!

I prefer Hornet cause its fast with normal hp (m3-viking m0), but its ver easy to get flipped!

Dictator's +is strenght and fast together

-slower than hornet

Hornet +Fast with normal hp at m3

-Easy to get flipped and much times hp is too low. PRICE!!!

 

My opinion: Hornet only m3!!!

If you are using rail should should choose hornet for speed so you can quickly get into action fire and get away before they can shoot you. A con with dictator is its height, as with the new shaft the dictators height allows it to be sniped even when behind (low) cover

Smoky > Hornet

Firebird > Hornet

Railgun > Hornet > Dictator

Isida > Hornet

Freeze > Dictator

Thunder > Dictator > Hornet

Rico > Dictator (Looks tacky)

 

Dictator is a strong, buff and bulging tank resembling the abuse it can withstand. While hornet is a fast little tank, made for capturing flags and healing team players.

Dictator is a lot cheaper to get to M3 and it has a better HP, and Hornet is a bit much but it's worth it for the speed. It all depends on your game style. I would like to say Dictator is a defender and has a role to protect the flag. While hornet is running to get the enemy flag.

 

 

I would like to ask a question off topic, which is better viking or hornet, I have 800 crystals and am sergeant major, and I have the twins m3, and also I would like to buy the weapon insida. What should I do? lol!?

 

You're using isida. If you mainly use isida to kill enemies then get Viking. If you are for the healing go for hornet, you can get to your allies quick, and it's smaller making it easier to maneuver.

Depends how you play; Dictators always remind me a bit of a WWII Sherman - tall, and hard to hide - but if you go in all Twins blazing in Deathmatches you won't care and it will serve you well.

Hornets are more like a JPz IV - small, low profile and fast - you have a good chance of getting your shot in first, dodging faster than some turrets can turn at close range, and even getting "under the guns" of a Dictator close up - but in a open map slug fest it can be hard to survive.

Hornets are also best suited for dramatic "charge of the light brigade" CTF runs into a blaze of shaft and richochet fire flat out, ideally over a bridge or open ground into the jaws of death. :D

The general tanki population seems to like hornets more. Proof: high-ranking players use hornet way more than dictator.

However, for more lower-ranked people like me, dictator is the better choice because its speed is good enough and has more health than hornet.

Not to mention dictator m3 is around 10k crystals less than hornet m3, so it is actually achievable for most non-buyers.

In the end, its all about preference and if you want to decide what to use, play both of them and see which one you like the best.

dude dictator 8.0m/s hornet 10.0m/s

dictator 120hp hornet 100hp

 

 

speed is not everything hp is

 

:) = Dictator & :( = Hornet

A highly overlooked aspect is manoeuvrability!! Nothing beats a Hornet :)

Speed is not all there is to a tank...
