Sniper Enemies
An enemy trait carried over from the original Raiden series is the sniper enemy, which is a usually small enemy that appears suddenly at the player's most vulnerable sides, firing at the player almost immediately. This surprise attack usually catches players off-guard, resulting in being shot down. The sniper enemy is considered to be an aggravating nuisance to most players.
In the Raiden Fighters series, sniper enemies are exclusively tanks. These tanks make delayed appearances onto the playfield, at times coming into view at the bottom half of the playfield, making for a surprise flank attack on the player. Some make sudden appearances during boss battles and even among usual Medal cache locations.

Famous quotes containing the word enemies:
“People can be lovers and enemies at the same time, you know. We were.... A man and woman draw apart from that long embrace, and see what they have done to each other.... In age we lose everything; even the power to love.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
