| > Massive Payload capacity; it's a missile truck, 5x what a reaper can bring If you need a bunch of munitions, bring a B-1 or B-52. Those things are GREAT at annihilating a whole training camp. > Cannon can hit infantry in closer quarters than any explosive missile/bomb. A small (18lb warhead) hyper-accurate missile is better than a cannon than can easily shoot way off. If there's a bad guy hiding behind a building, you want to frag the guy, not shred the building. > AC-130 has a top speed half that of a hog What's better than something that can take off and get into position quickly is something that's already there and watching the situation - MQ-9s are GREAT at that, and AC-130s are almost always providing overwatch when they're up. > Armoured and extremely tough, designed to survive small arms fire, Important if you're constantly flying very low. Why are you constantly flying low though? MQ-9s and AC-130s don't need to do that. |
