The F-2A Viper Zero is a deriative of the F-16C Fighting Falcon featured in some Ace Combat games. Its role has changed from its early to later iterations due to its stats changing; initially the Viper was suited as an attacker but has also been labeled a fighter. It jointly developed by Lockheed Martin and Mitsubishi Heavy Indrustries (MHI).

TriviaEdit

• Despite being an attacker in ACZ, it carries the highest load of XMAA's in the game, with 20 shots, following it the F-22A Raptor with 18.
• In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon it is classified as an attacker and cannot be eqipped with additional air to air weapons. However in reality it is a multirole fighter with air to ground capabilities as well.
