View File YF-23A Wizard (Ace Combat Zero) What is it? It's a paintscheme for the YF-23A Black Widow of the Osean Air Defence Force, 8th Air Division, 32nd Fighter Squadron, 1st Flight "Wizard", from the game Ace Combat Zero. The 32nd FS consisting of both "Wizard" and "Sorcerer" flights, were a key frontline Osean Air Defense Force fighter squadron, which commonly fought over The Round Table, formally known as Area B7R. The squadron had soon became known as the "All Stars of the Round Table" and as the war continued the entire Wizard flight became less and less supportive of the war as well as Osean high command. After the incident which occurred at the Waldreich Mountains on June 6, 1995 in which several nuclear bombs were detonated around the gate to Nord Belka, the Wizard Squadron deserted, disappearing without a trace They joined the radical terrorist group known as A World With No Boundaries and the Wizard's flight leader is believed to be the founder alongside the alleged head director Anton Kupchenko and Anthony Palmer. Wizard later reappeared over Air Space B7R to perform their final fight in the Round Table, during the allied "Operation Thunderbolt". They engaged the Ustian 66th Air Force Unit as they were en route to destroy the group main force at Avalon Dam. It is reported that the engagement was fierce, but resulted in the 32nd Squadron being entirely destroyed and disbanded. I've also included a post-defection paint scheme as I found it weird that the defectors would still be using their own nation's symbols and flags when joining a terrorist organisation dedicated to tearing down borders.

File Name: [Fictional] F-23A -Uzuki Shimamura- skin mod File Submitter: HolyKnightAD File Submitted: 30 January 2017 File Category: What If Skins F-23A -Uzuki Shimamura- skin by HolyKnightAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=From the Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls=- It may seem very bland at first but with enough experience, it can bring out its full capabilities. So do your best in bringing her to the skies with a smile!! Backstory: A few years after the YF-23 loss during the ATF Program, 346 Production had been interested in collaborating with Northrop Grumman to revive the program. Unfortunately, Northrop Grumman had no desire to revive the YF-23 and had to work on other projects. At that time, any information regarding the YF-23 project remained classified and 346 Pro had to find ways in getting them. Although some of the information was leaked out, it was not sufficient enough for 346 Pro to start on the project. A decade later, 765 Production unveiled its first ever aircraft to the public, F-22A -Haruka-. This led the 346 Pro to convince Northrop Grumman to revive the project. Eventually Northrop Grumman finally accepted the proposal and gave licences to 346 Pro in building the aircraft. 346 Pro finally had access to the information on the project including the final configuration of F-23A. In just a few years, 346 Production had finally unveiled their own aircraft to the public, F-23A. Uzuki Shimamura was assigned to become the pilot of the aircraft and its official designation became "F-23A -Uzuki-". The rivalry between the F-22A -Haruka and F-23A -Uzuki- echoes back to the ATF Program decades ago and inpsires many idol and/or aviation fans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits: Dels for the F-23A and skin template http://combatace.com/files/file/9990-f-23a-black-widow-ii-ver-30-for-sf2/ http://combatace.com/files/file/9989-f-23a-photoshop-template/ Requirements: Get the F-23A by Dels Installation: 1.

View File [Fictional] Northrop/McDonnell Douglas F-23J 'Tora' Northrop/McDonnell Douglas F-23J for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of Dels' excellent F-23A 'Black Widow' to give a fictional F-23J 'Tora' (Tiger) of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force with markings for the 302nd Hikotai in a retro 'Zero' scheme (suggested by Canadair). BACKSTORY (This backstory was for my Israeli F-23 but explains why the Black Widow ended up in the land of the Rising Sun). With the success of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom and F-15 Eagle in Heyl HaAvir service the Israeli's were hoping that the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas F-23A 'Black Widow' would win the USAF's ATF competition to continue their relationship with the McDonnell team at St. Louis but unfortunately Lockheed Martin's victory in the ATF competition looked like bringing an end to a long and enduring partnership. However in a brave move, in May 1991 the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas team secured permission from Congress to actively market the F-23 to (State Department) 'approved' nations and offered a single-seat multi-role version called the F-23I (International) to Germany, Japan, Israel and the UK. With Germany looking for any excuse to get out of the Eurofighter consortium and facing high reunification costs they persuaded the UK to team up in a combined purchase of 200 F-23I's. In return, this led to the German and UK Governments persuading Northrop/McDonnell Douglas to make BAe and MBB prime sub-contractors for any further export sales. However, with only 200 F-23I's on order Northrop/McDonnell Douglas were not convinced that it was enough to start a viable programme but the breakthrough came in January 1994 when, due to increasing tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the USAF agreed to purchase 100 F-23A's for PACAF (the air component of United States Pacific Command) and this move finally saw Japan and Israel also join the programme with 100 F-23I's each. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-23J folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-23J folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Massive thanks to Dels for this superb add-on aircraft - one of the very best. Special thanks to Canadair for suggesting the retro Zero style F-23J. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - February 12th, 2024.
