The Aegis class of fighters is the main line of fighters in the Raiden Fighters series. The first game has the Aegis, with the designation GD-1. The second and third games feature the Aegis IV, with the only difference being the color of its laser weapon and a gray-colored nose. The secret Aegis II-c appears only in Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive, and has different capabilities from the other fighters in its class.
Details[]
The fighters in the Aegis class are well-balanced. Their Lasers are Homing Rays, and their Missile weapon is a group of simple Cruise Missiles that do an average amount of damage to enemies. The fighter class has no outstanding strengths and weaknesses, which makes them a great choice for beginners.
Trivia[]
- The GD designation stands for Gun Dogs, which was the original title for Raiden Fighters.
