people seem to not realize how different the wasp is from the banshee and phaeton.
ive gotten allot of hatefull messages of being called a hacker for oneshotting a wasp with arclight, or teammates raging over their wasp being destroyed at say the 10th minute mark.
the wasp isnt heavy support like the phaeton, or attack like the banshee, its light air support, best used against infantry and scouting vehicles, or early game defense or scouting.
its also nothing like the hornet or falcon.
hornet was fast and a skilled pilot could easily take 1 or 2 banshees before downing, and the falcon could be amazing support likewise.
see the wasp as a flying ghost. pilot gives support to the infantry and flies in and out to attack and retreat.
this also isnt any salty ‘oh we need a hornet hurr’ post, i love the wasp and think in the right hands and map it can be great support, but its usually used wrong.

I agree. It’s also surprisingly useful in FF on Stormbreak if you can air-strafe behind the armory towers.

i generally dont requisition wasps. i tend to use them in forge maps i make as air support or w/e.
but i should, as you said. it doesnt have a dash so the cover will be usefull.

Stormbreak is pretty good for wasps when used well. I think the worst is probably Battle of Noctus or Urban on FF.

Same with Stormbreak and Sanctum. I guess it’s because of how open those maps are and the high cover that the wasp is so useful.
I kinda hate the wasp since it’s a level 3 req. It’s like 343i made it for the farmers because at level 3 reqs the wasp will tear you up. Just 4 of them at 5:00 will be able to take all 3 bases. But I usually just use it for FF

Oh absolutely. There’s no cover anywhere for any air vehicle

> Come on the wasp isn’t even a pain to bring down, by that time you’ll have Battle rifle or at the least an assault rifle with kinetic bolts it’s just people tend to ignore them since hey are so weak, I’ve had plenty of games where one wasp goes on a spree because teammates choose to ignore but once they realized that it was shredding us they took it down in less than 15 seconds
