- "With this unit added, the power of destruction becomes threefold. How 'bout it?"
The Option is a unique special weapon in Airforce Delta Strike which can only be used by the Blue Thunder M-45. This weapon has identical performance to the Wide Area Mass Destruction Rocket. Upon selecting the weapon, a cross appears on the screen, showing a rough estimate of where the weapon will aim upon being fired.
Uses[]
This weapon is, essentially, the WAMDR except improved by having the virtues of both being used by a good plane, and having more than one or two shots. In fact, this aircraft has 100 shots for its special weapon. Needless to say, this completely demolishes the big issue with WAMDRs, and is hilariously overpowered as a result. You are free to spam these things at groups of enemies, destroying them in a chaotic blast of carnage and destruction! Just be careful not to get yourself caught in that chaotic blast of carnage and destruction; these things still lack friendly fire.
Pros[]
- Deals heavy damage with splash
- Truly massive splash damage, the highest in the game, and will generally destroy everything caught in the radius
- Can be used on both air and ground targets, if you're good at aiming them
- X3 cash bonus can get you large amounts of money
- 100 shots allow for wanton destruction of all in your path
Cons[]
- VERY difficult to aim, no guiding
- Very easy to kill yourself with the weapon
Trivia[]
- This weapon, as expected, is based off of the Option pickups from the Thunder Cross series. The particular weapon the Options fire is based off the Napalm weapon; each Option, after a long delay, would fire a blue projectile that would explode into a large splash radius.
- Oddly, this weapon is called "SPREAD" in the aircraft's weapon list after being purchased, despite how "Option" could fit in the limited space. This name is also shared with the Mass Destruction Bomb.
