F-23A black Widow

In this universe, the YF-23 won the competition and went into production

After winning the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition against the YF-22, went into production and became the F-23. An essential part of the United States Air Force fleet Developed by Northrop (later Northrop Grumman), this stealthy and highly maneuverable aircraft was designed to dominate the skies with its advanced capabilities.

Key features of the F-23 include:

Stealth Design: The F-23's sleek, angular design incorporates cutting-edge stealth technology, significantly reducing its radar cross-section and enhancing its survivability in contested airspace.

Powerful Engines: It is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney YF119 engines, optimized for both speed and fuel efficiency, enabling the F-23 to achieve supercruise capabilities and maintain high performance without the use of afterburners.

Performance: Known for its exceptional speed, agility, and maneuverability, the F-23 excels in both air superiority and ground attack roles. Its advanced avionics suite and cockpit layout provide the pilot with unparalleled situational awareness and combat effectiveness.

Mission Adaptability: The F-23's versatility allows it to undertake a wide range of missions, from air-to-air combat and air superiority to deep strike and reconnaissance missions, making it a versatile asset in modern aerial warfare scenarios.

    @Karroc9522 I need the weapons to come out of the compartments, It doesn't necessarily have to be the way I did it

    @SkyTechAerospace you want the weapons to come out if the bays as well, or just the bay doors open and the weapons fall out?

    EDIT: Just so you know, it would be easier to put it into a VTOL/ Activation group type of setup. If you wanted, I could get that done, otherwise I'll try and figure this out with other creators. I think you are going on a good train of thought though, using arming groups rather than Activation groups. I hope we can get this to work.

    @SkyTechAerospace interesting idea. So you want the wepon bay doors to open when you do a targeting mode rather than an activation group? I've mostly seen people link it to the VTOL bar, but I'll see if I can get that done.

    @Karroc9522 I need a system that opens the doors automatically.
    when you select an air-to-air or air-to-ground missile

    @SkyTechAerospace I can help with weapons, and I think I know someone who can do the wire. I will get up with him about it. Let me know what you want done with the weapons, and I'll design em for you and post it as unlisted for you to use.
