Talk:ASF-X Shinden II/@comment-25142096-20140814184336/@comment-25142096-20140815161643

Viper's Mig-21 sounds good as a plane, especially given the already outstanding maneuverability of the little plane. It would probably be quite expensive to upgrade, as in the campaign it's said that Viper spent tons of money on upgrading his aircraft. But it doesn't have any clear difference in colour scheme compared to the standard MiG-21, so I don't know how it would work.

The Ridgebacks' Shinden would not be a special aicraft, just a design. When fighting the Butterfly Master, Edge says that both the Master's plane and Reaper's are capable of incredible maneuvers, while she thought her Shinden was better. So, it's either a normal ASF-X, or even a weaker one, if we count that canonically Reaper was flying a level 1 F-15E.
