    Chopper Gunner or AC130 to Nuke?

    Which personally do you think is better for getting the Nuke as a killstreak?

    I know many of you think the chopper gunner wins hands down so i thought i would point out the pros and cons of each first before you give your opinion.

    Chopper Gunner:

    Pros - Can get many kills with a powerful gun that doesnt seem to overheat and can deal a great amount of damage at the same time. The time limit in which you are in the chopper gunner seems to provide a greater amount of time to get kills.

    Cons - Chopper movement can be erattic and therefore leave you shooting at nothing a lot of the time, it is very noticeable in the air due to its loud noise and can therefore lead to enemies hiding, the chopper can be very easily taken down by anyone on the ground with only 1 rocket.


    AC130:

    Pros - Is very hard to shoot down requiring 3 rockets for a hit that will eventually destroy the plane, it has 3 guns each with different power and different zoom capabilities allowing for constant firepower whilst other weapons reload, plane movement is smooth allowing you to kill targets with greater precision, multiple targets can be taken out in one shot of the main gun.

    Cons - The limited time of only 30 seconds means you need to rack up the kills for the nuke fairly quickly to have any likely chance of succeeding, main gun takes almost 5 seconds to reload and therefore only 6 shots from the main gun can be fired in the time frame given.


    So after reading the pros and cons which do you think is the best killstreak to hit the 25 killstreak and grab the Nuke?

    For me personally it is the AC130 simply because its guns are powerful and im always pretty certain im not going to get taken out of the air.

    Chopper Gunner hands down, when you got over a spawn it's insta nuke, I have found that although with the Chopper Gunner you are easier to shoot down, you simply rack up more kills, quicker. The AC-130's lead time means targets have a chance of getting behind cover. I have used the Chopper Gunner mostly, but I have been using the AC-130 as of late (getting the emblem for it) and it isn't as good, simple as.

          The AC-130 is more fun, raining fire down with massive explosions etc, but for nuke getting, it's just not better than a Chopper Gunner.

                I found out yesterday that when you are in the chopper and are shooting in a location for long enough the pilot will hover there. I tried this once I found the enemies spawn spot...was really funny watching all of them say "Spawn Camper" etc...umm the chopper isn't meant to help you, it's meant to kill you.

                  Chopper gunner, you get more kills faster. Sure you may be unlucky with a drunk pilot now and again, but it's so much better for racking up a massive amount of kills.

                      AC130 sucks, i chose this unlock over chopper gunner and i can't get many kills with AC130 because every freaking enemy goes indoors and doesn't dare step outside.

                      i think they fear AC130 more than chopper gunner and they're less willing to come outside. plus they're willing to come outside to shoot at the chopper which might add more kills. my next pick is definitely chopper gunner.

                        So it seems not many like the AC130, i just thought that even though you can get more kills with the chopper gunner faster in recent games its just simply becoming shoot it down before it does any damage.

                          Chopper Gunner if I'm going for the Nuke. As safe and convenient the AC130 is, its reload times don't work well with me.

                            I have found the minigun on the AC130 to be deadly as it takes a while to overheat and when it does i switch to the main gun and get 3 more kills from it :)

                            I think the thing with the AC130 is you have to pick your shots for maximum effectiveness, for me getting 1 or 2 kills with the main gun is a failure as i should be getting 3 or 4.
