The target of "Battleship Raid", Stage 3.0 of R-Type: Final
This is a regular part of nearly every mission in R-Type. The entire stage is usually dedicated to taking down a large, horribly be-weaponed Warship (or several). Pilots should expect lots of anti-air support craft.
Appearances[]
R-Type[]
Pilots arriving from the Creature Cave will encounter this Warship. This is a slow yet difficult stage, in which pilots must destroy and/or evade many parts of the battle and fend off support craft. The battle against the core also requires patience, as it retreats into the warship for safety. Using the Force's direct contact is the best method to attack it, and the Frontline Base is next.
R-Type II[]
Here, pilots must avoid the collective firepower of many Warships, all of which are ultimately indestructible. An entrance will proceed you to the boss near the end. (Super R-Type.)
R-Type Delta[]
R-Type Delta does this twice, though the first time is against a very large ground-based attack vehicle. A broken-up version of the original Warship from R-Type makes an appearance in Stage 5.
R-Type Final[]
"A massive shadow threatens the city. This used to be our only refuge."
This stage is called Battleship Raid here. The stage rotates, which can effect the movement of certain missile attacks. Gains attack pilots trying to take down the Planet Buster Warship.
R-Type Final 2[]
The warship appears again as "Stage X4.0 Warship Out of Hell". It runs nearly the same as in the original R-Type, though it should be noted that the stage surfaces are also lethal (since most non-enemy surfaces aren't harmful in this entry).
R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate[]
The entire stage, which is the second mission of Chapter II, takes place in a region of warp space. Commanders only have 40 turns to finish it.
