One of the ugliest planes to ever be in the US arsenal.

 

As I'm geniunely curious, why does everyone love it so much?

 

Ugly!? I love the look of it! It is unique and has character! I grew up when the Intruder was still active and I saw it fly often so it will always be special to me for nostalgia. The Intruder has a great history, is a very powerful and capable aircraft, and seems like a lot of fun to fly. I really hope to see it in DCS someday. I will be a very happy flight simmer with this and the Tomcat.

I agree it's not the most beautiful plane but I still love it.

 

First aircraft I did live fire FAC with, ah the memories.

i think the a-6 looks beautifully purposeful. unlike any aircraft before it it was designed to be in its element in bad weather (though the stress still took its toll on airframes), i think that aspect alone makes it feel unique and attractive to me.

im also looking forward to spending time just sitting in one; the crew sits way up high and with the bulged canopy has an amazing view.

Very interesting plane, but it seems that razbam confirmed the

tornado, or not?

Well a guy linked a picture of what appears to be a tailfin of the Tornado.

 

But does that mean its an Official Module by Razbam...

 

And not just a modeler making a Tornado Visual model on his spare time.

 

Unless one of the Razbam Devs (that i know about) confirms a Tornado (or its posted on the Razbam facebook) then i dont see much reason to draw conclusions.

holy shit.. would be my dream.. flying the A-4 and the A-6 in formation.. my god

 

Or if its the A-6E it would make more sense to have A-6Es and A-7Es

 

As the A-6E entered service in 1970 (replacing the earlier A-6 variants)

 

and the A-7E Replacing the earlier A-7 variants aswell the A-4.

 

So a A-6E and a A-7E doing strikes missions makes for a very nice combo.

 

And since the A-6E is alot more formidable (aswell as the A-6 made in the largest and the Variant showed in the Picture from Razbam)

 

it makes the most sense and it would have Operated with A-7s mostly (as the A-4 saw more limited service with the US from the late 60s and onward with the A-6 and A-7 being the Primary attack aircraft.

 

And if the A-6 is comming then this will be a reality in a year or 2.

I'll be honest, I think Razbam should do an A-7 or A-6, but not both. I realise they have slightly different roles, but ultimately they are both US Naval Ground Attack aircraft of similar vintage. If I had to choose, I'd go with the A6 because it's a more capable machine (and the A7 looks like a flying breeze block). I also think that once Razbam have got the F-15E up to a usable point then modifying the code for a plethora of other twin seat attack aircraft should be much, much easier (I'm thinking Buccaneer, Tornado, F-111, Su-24, A-6, F-4 etc).

 

Total guessing here on my part, but I would imagine that the Mirage, Harrier and F-15 will use common code for most of the systems (hydraulics, electrics, flight controls etc) that is simply interchanged between aircraft and modified to produce the individual characteristics required. That could be how they are planning two modules per year in future?

The Intruder was a very efficient attack aircraft in real life, impossible to say the contrary, but to me it just looks like a pregnant turkey, almost as exciting as an old school bus (I'm almost out, already seeing incoming flak) ;-)

 

 

 

Give me instead a Thud !!!!!!

 

Big, loud, fast, sexy and WITH A GUN:

 

 

 

 

Just imagine this beast...

 

 

... in full silver in the glorious DCS game engine !!!

 

 

 

 

 

Thud --> instant buy at ANY price.

I'd say A-6 is actually prettier than F-105 :music_whistling:

 

Anyways, it is just a picture of A-6 3d model, which I think, means "you will likely get this way down the line". Both A-7 and A-6 are among the aircraft I am interested in most, but there already is a lot on Razbam's pipeline, so I guess it'll be awhile until we see them.

Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V
