Everytime i see a wasp in the air i try to take it out while my team is just letting it fly around, do people fear it so much they go in their pants and flee? or is something else up?
Wasps are not op, rather easy to take down actually. Only takes like 4-5 hydra rockets, a grappling hook, or a warthog turret to take it down.
Wasps don’t scare me

Wasps are only OP if the enemy team are noobs that don’t know what they’re doing. Basically just a lot of teamshot (BR, Stalker, etc.) alone is enough to wreck a Wasp, that being said if the enemy just stand around and never do anything about it it is very easy/simple to go on huge killing sprees.
Learn the sandbox folks. Most weapons are extremely good against vehicles, I’ll list them here; Heatwave, Hydra, any precision rifle, Disruptor, Chain gun turret, Cindershot, Sentinel Beam, and then you have the obvious ones like Rockets and Skewer and so on. Most important thing is that you just target them. I’ve managed to piss off Wasp pilots with a lowly Heatwave before (it probably blows up a Wasp in like 4 or 5 hits, so just landing 1 or 2 shots can weaken it) so don’t let them get away with anything.
i know exactly how to deal with one the problem is my team stands around like a bunch of noobs and lets it kill people.

Even the Shock Rifle does good damage and annoys the hell out of the pilot due to thr constant shut downs. If they’re low enough and over the edge, you can also get an easy fall-out kill.

I can usually take down a wasp with the AR, it does not have much health
I didn’t want to mention the obvious choices like Dynamo grenades or Shock Rifle, because everyone (should) know that. Lots of weapons are very effective against vehicles and people are sleeping on them in my opinion. Heatwave is my favorite as you can just shred vehicles even at long range (if you land the shots) and yet I see that sucker being all lonely on the weapon rack 
how many dynamos does it take to stop a wasp though? I’ve tried that with less succes than BR’s warthog turrets snipers and the hydra.
I’ll have to remmber that one if i come across it during a wasp raid… I’m still learning the new weapons so.
One.
It is difficult to actually hit it though, because it be flying.
yeah i tend to have more luck with a sniper or BR would the disruptor work, or does it not have enough range?
Don’t forget about the skewer, it will one shot a wasp
Hydra 4-5 rockets
Sniper rifle-4 shots
Rocket launcher (for obvious reasons)
Grapple hook to hijack
Warthog turret
Shock rifle to emp it
There’s a lot of easy ways to take down the wasp, even on your own
A good wasp player will mask and unmask with terrain and use the terrain to their advantage instead of just charging head on into the enemy
I’ve seen very fee good wasp players, even then only 3 rockets from another wasp will take it down

I’ve taken one out with just a couple shots from a sniper rifle and another one with the shock rifle, grabbed ahold of it and tossed it over the edge of a cliff just like they have shown in one of the game clips.
I never see a wasp pilot go behind terrain much at least not on purpose i usally use the acend and decend to increase my ‘movment’ when hunting a wasp with another. I just find it very odd that other players ignore it I understand challenges but I would think it’d be easier to do challenges without an enemy wasp killing you.

The wasp is very good, but also very punishable.
The skewer, disruptor, shock rifle, hydra, warthog chaingun, rocket hog turret and sniper rifle don’t like flying bugs.
Edit: Oh, the dynamo grenades and gravity hammer say hello as well.

I like to see the Rocket launcher be able to lock on the flyers.

Another problem I’ve found is the randomness of weapon spawns in social really throws me off … This directly effects my preformance in being an anti-vehicle guy or really overall

Using the disruptor on a wasp sounds like a good way to get killed, unless the pilot is totally worthless.
There is a variant that does that, but really I think its unnecessary.
