The chopper is a single-driven vehicle, known for its boosting power. With a good timed boost, it can splatter most vehicles. The only ones it cant is wraiths and scorpion tanks. Its bruteshots blasts are good for pretty much anything, and are simalir to the Gausshogs blasts, with less power. The key to splattering a single person in an open area is to start driving at them, and when/if they jump, stop somewhat close to them but not enough so they can board you. Right when there about to land, put the pedal to the floor and splatter them. One disadvantage of the chopper is its steering. It seems to work with a gyro, so when you tip over it will keep you driving. This can be good, so you dont end up standing there. But it can also make you vulnerable to enemies, seeing as you wont be able to get a good veiw at them.

Tactics
Where the mongoose is a needle, a warthog a saber, a ghost a butter knife, and an elephant a really dull chainsaw, in the right hands a chopper is a katana. Expertly driven, a chopper can be the deciding force in a game.
Weapons
Using the spikes can be difficult, but with a bit of practice, some would say they are the most deadly rapid fire weapon in the game, bar none. Use the cannons to attack footsoldiers, topple vehicles, and destroy mounted turrets. With in the hands of a true Chopper master, it is quite easy to shoot down an opposing banshee or hornet. The blades on the chopper pose the greatest threat to warthogs and other vehicles. Boost about a half a vehicle lenght away from the opposing vehicle to completely destroy it. Hit the boost to early and you knock the warthog away. Hit the boost to late-- you bounce off, leaving you humiliated and an easy target for the gunner.
Movement
Try to keep on the down-low before you make your first kill. Don't go boosting everywhere unneccisarily. Being not so fast, the chopper is one of the easiest vehicles to laser. Dont invite it. You may find yourself in a compromised situation. If you see that guy you didn't notice before suddenly pull a SPNKr from his inside pocket, don't think. Crank the wheel and boost. A rocket is slow enough to miss you if you do this with enough power and timing.
Defense
Always keep your front end toward the enemy. This presents a smaller target to them and also keeps the headshots to a minimum.
