* The Wasp behaves similarly to the [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] in terms of gameplay mechanics, except that it is entirely a single seater aircraft. | * The Wasp behaves similarly to the [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] in terms of gameplay mechanics, except that it is entirely a single seater aircraft. | ||
* In comparison to the [[D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee|Banshee]] and [[Phaeton]], the Wasp is very fragile, easily falling to two hits from a [[M41 SPNKR|(SPNKr)]] [[M57 Pilum|Rocket Launcher]]. Its energy shields are also weaker. | * In comparison to the [[D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee|Banshee]] and [[Z-1800 Phaeton|Phaeton]], the Wasp is very fragile, easily falling to two hits from a [[M41 SPNKR|(SPNKr)]] [[M57 Pilum|Rocket Launcher]].

** For this reason, it is usually a poor choice to engage Legendary or Mythic Warzone bosses in the Wasp (except if it's the Hannibal variant), as their attacks and weaponry can blow it out of the sky quickly before you can even reduce their health or shields. | ** For this reason, it is usually a poor choice to engage Legendary or Mythic Warzone bosses in the Wasp (except if it's the Hannibal variant), as their attacks and weaponry can blow it out of the sky quickly before you can even reduce their health or shields. | ||
* Do not engage [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]] with the Wasp unless you have a range advantage, the element of surprise, or teammates providing sufficient supporting fire. The Warthog's turret can easily rip an overzealous Wasp to shreds, although the gunner is exposed on all sides.

The Warthog's turret can easily rip an overzealous Wasp to shreds, although the gunner is exposed on all sides. However, attacking a [[Type-58 Wraith|Wraith]] while in a Wasp is recommended (except if it's the [[Type-58 Anti-Air Wraith|Anti-Air variant]]), as the Wraith's arcing shots make it difficult to line up with a flying target and score a hit. Wraith mortars rarely hit a Wasp, but if there is someone on the Wraith's secondary turret, try to fight and fall back if your shields get low, as it can rip up a Wasp like a Warthog's turret if you are not careful. | ||
* If ever you see an enemy Wasp and you don't have a [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Laser]] or ''[[Z-390 incineration cannon#Variants|Heartseeker]]'', try using a [[Type-54 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]], as it can easily disable the Wasp. Unlike in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Plasma Pistol can have its range increased with Smart-Link activated; regardless, use caution so the Wasp's pilot fails to notice you, and then shoot the Wasp with the plasma-charged bolts and wait until it reaches the ground, then destroy it with explosives, or wait until the effect of the Plasma Pistol passes to steal the Wasp. | * If ever you see an enemy Wasp and you don't have a [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Laser]] or ''[[Z-390 incineration cannon#Variants|Heartseeker]]'', try using a [[Type-54 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]], as it can easily disable the Wasp.

* Surprisingly, despite the Wasp having dual autocannons, the Warthog's LAAG and Phaeton's weaponry still outmatch them. | * Surprisingly, despite the Wasp having dual autocannons, the Warthog's LAAG and Phaeton's weaponry still outmatch them. | ||
