This craft improved on a number of systems from the original Arrowhead.
History[]
With the success of the Arrowhead, the Space Corps immediately started making improvements upon the design. The frame of an Arrowhead was stripped and used as a test bed for new technologies. However, when the Moritz-G struck one year after the events of the first Bydo encounter, the Delta was made combat-worthy and sent off to battle still in an experimental state, next to the R-13A Cerberus and RX-10 Albatross.
This is the default fighter for this mission. It's often referred to as "R9 aII".
At the end of the mission, R-9A2 succeeds in escaping from evil dimension, along with RX-10 Albatross, and TP-2 POW Armor.
Description
The R-9A2 Delta comes equipped with a Diffusion Wave Cannon, which concentrates and then disperses its energy using a special catalyzer. It is also equipped with the same Wave Cannon found on the R9 mass-production models.
It has a B-Energy of 2.8 Bydo.
Armaments
Force
- 2 x Round Bit
- 2 x Homing Missile
The Delta hasn't changed much since R-Type Delta, as it's still regarded as a prototype for the R-9C War-Head.
Requirements
This R-craft becomes available after defeating Xelf-16 in Metropolis Quietus.
Description
[Reinforced Atmospheric Prototype]
A stripped-down model designed for in-atmosphere use. A prototype, but with plenty of combat use. Influenced many later designs. Has the same Wave Cannon as the R-9 and also boasts a Diffusion Wave Cannon that can amplify and disperse energy by using a special catalyst.
