Dr.SquirrelBoy12 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) So while it seems like it is going to be AI for now, Cobra said that subject to a license agreement, they hope to eventually introduce it into DCS world as a full DCS module. I would love to see an Intruder in DCS & the model looks amazing so far. I am sort of surprised though since I thought RAZBAM was planning to do an A-6. Either way my hype level just shot way up!

MBot Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Awesome! I simply love the Intruder and it will be the perfect buddy for the Tomcat. Of course this is not really a surprise, the signs were just plain obvious to anyone that cared to pay attention :) LNS will do an AI A-6E Intruder initially to flesh out the scenario and later make it flyable, profiting from their experience with ground mapping radar and multi-crew. Now where do I get my cookie? Edited September 1, 2018 by MBot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

some1 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Makes sense, you need more than a Tomcat to fill the deck of an aircraft carrier from 70's-90's. Though I wonder which one will come first, this one or the Draken AI that was announced a year ago. :) Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Dragon Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 From Hoggit by Cobra Furthering our commitment to trying to provide a full and rich experience to the community, and in line with our module development priorities, we’ve decided to introduce the A-6E and KA-6 as free AI units into DCS World shortly following the release of the F-14 Tomcat! The Intruder is an aircraft that has been under active development at Heatblur Simulations for some time, and subject to a license agreement, we hope to eventually introduce it into DCS world as a full DCS module - and we are developing it with this intent in mind. In the meantime, the AI Intruders will serve a critical role in the F-14 campaigns and provide an additional level of authenticity to the game and simulation battlespace environment. The A-6’s are built to our extremely exacting standards, with laser scanning forming the basis of our core workflow and ensuring complete accuracy in shape and dimensions. In-game, the KA-6 will provide the player with texaco services while the A-6E will serve as a venerable strike partner with an unmatched payload - good friends to have in the cockpit of an F-14. Thanks as always for your support. We look forward to sharing much more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAngel Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Wait a second... Wasn't Razbam producing an A-6 Intruder too? Although they seem to be keen on dispersing in multiple projects, placing others down the list, I'm pretty sure I saw something about an Intruder.

Skulleader Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 WOW it's really a great news because I'm a great fan of the Intruder, it's my favorite plane...

twistking Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 the A-6 is probably my favorite plane ever. great news on the possibility to develop it as a full module! the a-6 has very interesting avionics. i'll hope we would get a mid-tier a-6 which has all the good stuff, but still maintains most of it's 60s charme and quirks. also it should at least somewhat match the f-14 A/B's timeframe...

For a EA-6B Prowler, need rebuild all DCS ECM/ECCM and implement new jammer technology and interference protocols to use them into ED core.

will00988 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 My old man flew the Scooter and the Intruder over Vietnam and Cuba, I am beyond ready for the community Skyhawk and now a Heatblur A-6.

Although they seem to be keen on dispersing in multiple projects, placing others down the list, I'm pretty sure I saw something about an Intruder. No one has the rights to make the module until ED gives them a license. Even HB could still have the rug pulled out from under them. Until ED signs on the dotted line, there's no guarantee HB will even deliver a flyable A-6 module at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Here's hoping they allow us to turn the A-6E into the KA-6D even if only rudimentary. After all, most, KA-6Ds where re-purposed A-6E. Caveat: Yes there are stark differences between the two, that doesn't change my desire for them to make it possible.

Airj247 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The last news Razbam gave on the A-6 was a while back, now with the whole Falkland's theatre going on and the aircraft they want to make for that, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Heatblur produce the module since Razbam has their plate quite full, either way, whoever (if) makes the module, I'm sure it will be great.

Jester986 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Ok I'm going to start some wild unfounded speculation here... In razbams post about the Falklands they implied maybe another 3rd party could do the A-4. Maybe thats because heatblur has the Gruman connection?

Jester986 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Also I'm shocked... I was convinced the next aircraft would be the F-111. Not disappointed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
