I'll preorder the A6 as soon as it's up. lol doesn't matter when you launch it 😉

Have to agree, HB's earned more than enough goodwill with me from their products for me to open my wallet at the earliest opportunity for an Intruder.

Thank you Heatblur for making the two naval aviation aircraft that stole my heart since I was born in 1979. The Tomcat and Intruder made me love aviation. 
 

The cat was always everyone’s favorite but for some reason I was always drawn towards the stars that are outside the spotlight. The Intruder is such an aircraft, it ain’t fancy, it ain’t as pretty as the cat, it ain’t fast, it ain’t agile but damn does it look good and it can move foam and mud. 
 

She grows on you!

Until the F-14 was slinging bombs, I wasn't half as interested in it as I was the A-6 Intruder. Growing up, the Intruder was the jet I wanted to fly if I had my choice. The Tomcat was pretty, but I lived by that quote "fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history." I love the F-14 for all it can do now, but the A-6 will always be my first jet crush.

So...one thing is not clear to me.

 

Are we getting JUST the A-6E as a full on module or is it a double full module, as in A-6E and KA-6?

 

Personally, I more into the A-6E, not the tanker. Its only useful in MP...for SP, its just flying circuit and refueling others. But that is just me....:angel:

I dont see why not - its basically the same plane without the TRAM and with an integrated boom mechanism. I would expect it to be.

Well would like to hear it from Heatblur as some guys say that dcs mechanics don't allow that.

Yeah, as far as i know in the past looks like was not possible to create a human tanker on DCS. But looks like the things are changing, and ED starts to listen more at the community, so I hope they have changed the code to permit this mechanics, and with HB they can make the first ever flyable tanker on DCS, the KA-6. It will be amazing 😄

I hope it will be flyable as well 😉

I'll repeat it, so it comes "from our mouths" here as well, and there is no doubt:


Stay tuned for the A-6E and KA-6 being added to DCS World as AI units in the near future
as part of the development cycle of the F-14! 

 

We will be developing this aircraft as a fully flyable module together with our partners at Eagle Dynamics, 
as part of an ambitious roadmap for a growing and hungry Heatblur team! Stay tuned for more information as
we forge ahead through 2021.

 

However: good things take time. Please do not forget that. It is not just around the corner yet, far from it - that just on the side in all fairness, so you can manage your expectations accordingly. 🙂

Thanks for the update IronMike. Keep up the good work! 🙂 

 

Speaking of other things to finish though, any update on the Draken AI

Hey everyone,

 

Just crossposting some thoughts from hoggit;

We were super happy to take part in ED's wonderful cloud video today with an early version of the AI A-6's - hope you enjoyed a taste of the WiP artwork. 

 

Last time we showed off the A-6, we said that we'd love to take it on as an official module and part of our roadmap - and today we've had the absolute pleasure of being able to confirm those plans. We remain very committed to DCS and couldn't be more pleased with being afforded the honour of building more great products on the platform.

 

Our short term goals are fully focused on wrapping up the F-14 and Viggen- but as we forge ahead, we'll be growing the team and developing the A-6 as part of a broader roadmap. It's still *very* early days and "announcing" the A-6 will probably be one of the earliest announcements we'll ever make, so don't expect anything soon - but hopefully we've at the very least asserted the fact that we're not going anywhere and that we have plans far beyond those that are public. (even after today) 🙂

 

Thank you for all of your excitement and support. We owe you all everything,

 

Sincerely,

Team HB

Earlier than the Tomcat announcement? In that case I guess we won't get our hands on the A-6 within the next 4 years, probably even more.  :pilotfly:

“We will be developing the A-6 as a fully flyable module together with our partners at Eagle Dynamics”, does this mean collaboration on your A6 module with ED? And ED will have a hand in your work in the future?

It would make sense. Cloud integration will be very important to the A-6's element was hiding in a cloud layer and using its avionics to see through it all.

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

Partners as in Eagle Dynamics develop the platform. 🙂  They're a HUGE part of our success, and so anything that we do, no matter how new or detached, is really in great part thanks to them.

The standard was set all those years ago. 😆 in all seriousness i had it and it was an amazing game for its time. But we’ve come a long way.
