The YF-23 Black Widow II is a multirole fighter of the Consortium in Direct Action and High Treason.
Overview[]
As only fixed-wing aircraft available to the Consortium in in Direct Action, the YF-23 is highly versatile, especially when upgraded with bombs, though it loses out compared to specialized equivalents like the F-35, A-10 Thunderbolt II, and F-15 Eagle and is best used for precision strikes on key structures or units that aren't well defended. It also has stealth, and as such will not reveal itself unless at least one opponent has the Early warning radar upgrade.
In some cases it may be wise to tech up to these and acquire the laser-guided bombs instead of going for Akulas. Against TFT opponents, it can easily counter the F-35 if used correctly, and its alpha strike is nearly impossible to deter unless the opponent invests appropriately.
In Direct Action, the YF-23 has two units of ammo for its air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles and bombs.
In High Treason, the YF-23 has infinite missiles with two bombs, and engages its targets one at a time, while the bombs remain unchanged.
