If your anders, you would want to counter tanks with gremlins/hogs/spartans. Not hornets. You can get them out much earlier, and qith emp you can hijack tanks very easily.
If your forge, you can either out tank him, or do the tank rush with hornets instead of tanks. 5xsp, 2xreacter, when your getting close to 1000 sup, sell a sp, make a ap, upgrade a reacter, queue up wingman, sell a reacter make a second ap, then pump out hornets.
That is the fastest canister tank rush, and works just aswell with wingman hornets. If you get rushe your boned, but if you know he is going tanks you dont have to worry about that.
