What's better, hawk or worm for T1 abyssal?

Ok, probably you have seen this question a lot, but I have some doubts that are starting to bother me, for not being able to answer them. Which or why Worm is better than the Hawk in T1? I explain myself:

Hawk:

  • Cheap
  • A lot of DPS with the extra slot to add a light missile launcher II.
  • Good resistance and speed.
  • Have a lot of range.

Worm:

  • Expensive
  • Less dps but, compensates if we use drones.
  • Is a bit more faster.
  • Have less range.

My questions are, after being obliberated a lot of times with the Hawk in T1:

  • How do you manage to succeed with a hawk, when in a room you have rats that sends you a lot of drones? Usually I died in 0,1 with this fit: Hawk fit | Abyss Tracker.
  • How Worm is more effective? has less range in general so you will get destroyed faster. The DPS is lower, so you depend on how fast drones kills the others.
  • Why is better the worm? I can’t an advantage against the hawk looking the stats. Only that worms uses drones, but less dps.

Maybe I’m reading wrongly the stats, but I can’t get through T1.

I don’t really get how you can have problems with a Hawk in T1? That ship can do T2 with barely any problem.
In T1, a Hawk should be pretty much invincible.

Passive tank, Rockets in your face, AB running and thats it.
