It is a level 3 req vehicle. It has decent maneuverability, fast rockets, and an accurate machine gun. It makes sense to have weak armor.
I played WZFF yesterday and spawned in a Wasp at the start of Round 3. I managed to hold on to it till the very last seconds of round 5 where that last mythic Hunter Boss hit me because I was trying to go behind him ( he was in the Home Base). I ended up with 36 kills with it. It is an extremely durable vehicle and it is now my favorite vehicle in the entire game.
Any thoughts about our Wasp encounters?
Its not weak, its just disproportionately slow. For a vehicle designed for harassment and quick getaways, its too sluggish to dodge effectively.
I’ve never heard that complaint. Especially when the other team has one or two and I get mowed down the second I step foot out of my base.
I think the Wasp is excellent as a level 3 REQ. In regular Warzone, I’ve gotten Rampages with it before, and I usually tend to survive 3 rounds of Warzone Firefight with it as well.

Yeeah, it’s good enough to kill Banshees and even Phaetons for a Level 3 REQ. People just don’t know how to use it, that’s why they complain.
Use it in groups. Our company has pulled 8 (vehicle capped) of them out at once and it’s extremely difficult to counter it.
The wasp / ghost combo on deadlock is insane. If the two drivers work together and communicate then can dominate.

Somebody stepped on a Wasp’s nest 
It doesn’t take too much BR spam to bring a Wasp down, but when it’s mowing you down with machine guns and rockets BR spam doesn’t do you much good.

This. If you pilot it correctly, it isn’t that much weaker than the Phaeton. That being said, the Phaeton at least has thrusters you can dodge with. Would be nice if the Wasp had forward thrusters just to get around more quickly.
I think that the Wasp is even better than the Hornet. And I LOVE the Hornet.

This exactly. It is only marginally faster than a Phaeton. If it was faster, with more efficient acceleration and deceleration (faster maneuvering) then it would be fine as a mid range support vehicle. Maybe increase Chaingun accuracy by 10% or so to complete the whole ranged support instead of a risky ‘dash’ vehicle.
Its strong only if you play people who don’t know how to counter it - which is currently a lot of people.
So not only is made out of paper mache but same with the weapons.
I feel like in warzone firefight is useless you need to shot a knight for 40 seconds to kill him probably its machinegun needs to be improved on WF not on regular warzone though either that or Prometheabs are too OP

thats funny i was just about to comment on how great it is for WZFF. its good for two reasons: for most enemies (except the grunt mech and possibly Warden) you can be a safe distance away and evade anything worth evading pretty easy, while maintaining accuracy, and it can get shots in some places that are hard for other vehicles.
I love it on a few specific rounds:
first, kill a thousand hunters on storm break. just hover outside reach of their weapons and pour down fire on them.
next, on the eliminate the knights rounds. it is really good for distracting the minion soldiers so that your teammates can get into the middle base and put shots on the knights, plus if you hover at the right spot you can put machine-gun fire and rockets on them through the big door in front.
third, its really useful for “defend the core” rounds. all you have to do is keep all the bad guys shooting at you instead of the core while your teammates pick them off.
finally, when bad guys spawn in the base, if you still happen to have a wasp from a previous round, you can use it to help clear the hallways of minions so your teammates can get in. hovering just outside the base door you can fire right into the pelican bay with it, which is something no other vehicle can do
It is good for Warzone Assault matches. I was a big annoyance to the enemy team because I kept bombarding them with rockets and bullets as they tried to take the base.

I know its really good for distraction but i was talking about its firepower especially when you are fighting lots of knights
Wasp = op
I was spawn camped by one for two games in a row
