INTRO

The upgraded version of the 23, also the newest. I had to upload on computer since my phone would crash from the bombs. This is also has a good cockpit now. Also my now highest part count aircraft.


Lore

This one is split into parts

The 1960s

In 1968, the USLAF needed a supersonic bomber that could carry a strong payload. LockMartins response was the B-23A, which was then selected. The B-23A had canards, 4 cruise missiles and 28 large bombs, or about 4 nukes instead, and could go Mach 2 at altitude. However, only 10 were built. With the B-23B entering mass production and service in 1969, which had larger and swept back canards, radar, and a tail turret (Remote Controlled). However, the only problem with the bomber that would continue until 2010 with the B-23G is that the bomber variants would constantly become outdated quickly.

The 1980s

In 1979, the B-23B retired. Because of this, the B-23D was made in 1980. Due to advancements, the letter C was skipped. The D variant had the removal of the tail turret due to it being proven useless during a training exercise with a F-15. The D variant was also slightly faster, being able to go Mach 2.15. In 1998 however, the D variant stopped production, then exited service decades later.

The 2000s to modern day

In 2005, the B-23D exited service, and the B-23G started being built. The B-23G had many advancements, for example; the canards were removed, the engines efficiency was improved, and ECMs were added. Along with how the bomber could hold 62 small (but powerful) bombs. The B-23G entered service in 2010. The B-23G is still in service to this day.
