My grandfather was one of the engineers who worked on the engines for the A-6. Sucks that they only added a premium variant and nothing in the tech tree, especially for such a famous airframe with almost 50 years of combat under its belt
it might come in later versions. it should come at least. this thing was the air power. only thing that came close was f-16. if they come out with a later version of it i hope it gets the anti radar missiles. most under rated jet ever.
I think this plane might be a great plane for those wanting to buy 1 plane, you get pretty much all the functions available and you can try every game mode.
first of all I love this plane, its absolutely worth it IMHO secondly: no, the TRAM could not carry the AGM-65 or other missiles such as HARM that capability was only added with the A-6E SWIP modification that gave the plane a digital missile control panel, a new RWR and new GFK wings the only weapons it is currently missing are: -AGM-123 Skipper II (laser guided, rocket powered 1000lbs bomb) -AGM-45 Shrike -AGM-78 Standard Arm -AGM-84A, B and early C Harpoons (D models need the Missile panel of the SWIP)
If your doing custom battles with some friends and want to play it like a Prowler you can go full flares and chaff pods, then escort Alie planes and use the A6 to make a wall of chaff and flares
I had no idea it had flare and chaff pods. I really hope they add the prowler or growler though at some point. Electronic Warfare is bad ass and I'd love to hang high in the air jamming some try hards
Yeah it’s the same. But they are different ranks it’s easier to research the f16 or any rank 8 in this case with the a6e than the f5c cause of the RP penalty system they have
You should buy it if you dont want to have to grind 5 rank 7 planes. Most people just w keyed for f14 so they would only have 3, 4 counting f5 so they would have to get phantom or a10 late.
Yes but the f16 grind is painful because if you have only grinded fighters like me, all rank 7 aircraft except the f8e is top tier and grinding with top tier aircraft is not enjoyable
the intruder was dominate in real life as well. enough so that despite not being a flashy fighter or a massive bomber it got it's own movie. "fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history" ~flight of the intruder. This aircraft outlived and out scored them all.
I love it, it is actually a lot of fun. I load out the full 500s and fly low and fast ( 100-300 ft) to the side or in cloud in air realistic or simulator. Strike the bases. It is how it was flown in real life.
I genuinely like the A-6E. It’s been my main grinder since it dropped and run the same load out. In Sim, the GBU-10s are great and hoping they give it mavericks soon.
@@quarkedbutt3957 dude if you got a good jet that can do 1 of the 3 which are base bombing, carrier bombing or dogfighting and your good with it a standard play session of 2 hours is going to fully unlock all modification for your jet and possible out the other rp into 50% research of your next vehicles. Id recommend premium planes though as the reward is of what i said before and repair cost is super low like below 7k sl while making a shit ton 1 base bombed with a su25k= 7k-10k rp and 20k-25k sl
One day it will be on 50% sale and then I'll think about it. I wanted to see the A6 introduced but to be a strike asset. WT missile bus meta is...frustrating to fly against.
9.7-10.3 was one of my favorite brs. After apex predator, however, there is nothing but A 6/10s spamming aim 9 Ls and flares. The days of old fashioned (fighter) dogfights increasingly feels like something from the past, sadly. Kinda like5.7 being dead due to ju 288 and f2g spam :(. My other favorite plane, the F4j, can only play mig29s now. Apex Predators has ruined a lot of my favorite brs. I'm totally down for adding more advanced aircrafts, I just think increasing the br brackets would be healthy (12.3 ect)
@@jayklink851 Yeah. My Japanese 10.3 lineup does not appreciate all of the all-aspect missiles that get regularly thrown at it these days....no flares until rank seven.
You keep mentioning the 5 1000lb GBUs but you fail to mention the NINE, yes NINE, 500lb GBUs. Who needs a larger bomb when they have perfect accuracy anyway? At 10.0 this thing can fly out of range of SAMs and have a 9 kill potential before returning to base. Stacked with the speed and climb, this thing breaks the game in a downtier.
I use the 2000lbs bomb and the missiles usually get about 1 kill and base kill pending on the enemies I can sometimes get 2-3kills with this thing played right. Is it slow yes but flying low and fast with it you can get atleast a base kill and possibly 1 kill
The only thing I don’t like about the smaller bombs is they’re harder to hit fast moving targets, since the 2000s have better radius and are more forgiving
not considering the TRAM personally but just dropped by to say really appreciate your reviews, been super helpful especially for the ground stuff as a pilot getting into tonks o7
It's not a strike fighter. The A in A-6 stands for attack, the F-4 is a strike fighter. You've also identified a problem with all aspects of air battles, they are so fighter heavy that attack planes and bombers will always be shot down.
They totally missed the mark on this with the avionics. Cockpit artificial horizon should show ccrp points and the radar should work (and detect ground targets which are then displayed on the artificial horizon).
Its radar still needs to be fixed/added; (I don't know when was the last time the game had so many bugs and errors after an update BTW). I like this plane very much, for its looks, but I'll wait, that's for sure, do to i hope the tech tree gets a more advanced A-6E SWIP soon; (like how it is with the A-10), and if not I'm sure when the "summer sale" comes this pack will be part of it too, + who knows what changes come till that point. Also I kind of need it, kind of I don't (got both A-10s now, and the F-5C as well, if i need a multirole premium, or just a CAS, but I prefer helicopters anyway, for mixed games).
I'm currently levelling my British tree with the Harrier G1 and this thing is a nightmare. SRAAMs are practically a guaranteed kill within 1km(rear aspect only) which is great for knocking out A10s and other bricks but these things just have to look at you and you explode especially since there aren't any chaff launchers on the harrier. If you dont kill it first, It WILL kill you. Unless you are a mig-21 and just zoom right out of our plane of existence.
Harrier GR1 is kinda painful. It’s not too bad if you drop the 5 bombs on a base (you will make money) and then climb a little and fly around trying to gun/SRAAM people, but at least with me, if I’m going to die(Aside from later in the game, but I won’t loose money then and will probably have done stuff), I die right at the start to A10s/SU25/A6E to all aspects.
I love this plane is insane broke mechanic balance game. Just spam missile and back to base then spam missile! My record personal economic is 30k xp, 150k credit with premium membership. What an insane! Worth it and can great performance without cannon
"slow speed" bruh its as fast as Mig-17 and its a designated attacker, not a fighter. It shouldn't even be competetive against dedicated fighters it meets. AIR RB is so fcking dogsht right now, I am losing interest in WT hard. From the Ju-288, to Su-11 to Su-25 to A-10 to A-5C to A-6E all the way to the F-14. Completely uninteresting gameplay. Why can't we have the true drop in drop out AIR RB EC with improved objectives like protect the AWACS or something? Its just stare at loading screen, take off, rush in the furrball, get kills, die, stare at loading screen. Dude I swear staring at the loading screen takes longer time nowadays than the matches itself. Anyway, rant over. Don't spend money on this Garbajin game.
@@Bobspineable What are you talking about? At 10.0 in ground in a full down tier it will face SPAA that can't effectively fight any plane further than 4km away, where it gets 9 laser guided bombs that can be dropped accurately from 10km up, making it completely immune to attacks from anything other than other aircraft. It should be higher in GRB.
@@Bobspineable Lol you are out of your mind. Take Germany for example, it gets comparable ground loadout at 11.3 and even then the A-6 can do it better. It's a 9.3/9.7 performance plane with 11.0 air to air capabilities and 11.3 ground capabilities. Should be nowhere near 10.0.
this jet is great for aviation matches , but not that good for ground RB anything at 10BR strike without lock and forget is kinda hard. because ground 10BRs is normally going for 10.3 , the AAA system is really strong at that BR i recommend this jet if you want to unlock USA aviation tec tree the aim9L missiles currently the strongest in the game .
I would like to buy this plane but how do I have 3 missiles and 1 cannon because I do not understand and on the secondary weapons it says I can have 4 missiles or 4 cannons. How do I get both missiles and cannons?
Currently, I’ve had this plane for a little over 12 days, in the whole time I have had it I have maybe gotten about two kills with the aim 9L’s, almost every single plane at this BR has flares, and it is just too slow to bomb any bases, essentially a missile Target that is super easy to hit, be warned before buying
i absolutely love the tram, easy 4-5 kill games in my mig-21 smt, just turn the radar off,fly off to the side to get behind then and then shoot some poor rank 30 players from the back with r-60s
I bought the A6E, the MIG-21 Lazur, and the J35XS. I was most hesitant and least excited about the A6E and so far that's the been the most fun of all 3 by far. I've been using 4 AIM-L's and bombs. May try the single gunpod loadout that was suggested. Generally when a plane has one gun and it's not center mounted I become quickly annoyed with it, just like the J35XS's single cannon.
I'm pissed it launched on the live server without a functioning radar like the dev server. The laser also got nerfed and isn't 360* like it was on the dever server, so you can fly over targets anymore. On the live server all it is is a high-tech dive bomber
It’s like 300 degrees, hardly enough of a difference to make a negligible effect ingame I’ve been using it fine just diving and pull up, laser still tracks
It depends on the situation. Price difference aside, the A-6E is better for Air RB (although only for missiles. A-10 has that nasty inboard GUA cannon), whereas the A-10 is better for ground RB. They're both very good at both game modes, however. So, in short, I'd probably say the A-6E is better in Air RB, although the A-10 can be substantially more devastating with cannons than the A-6E ever could.
@@Tankenstein Thank you so much! This helps me a lot. I've decided to buy the A-6e and after the first round, it's a very potent and nice plane! Think it was the right choice.🤗
I despise this plane, being able to face 9.0 planes with 4 all aspect aim-9l's? That is just insane in quite literally every regard, what are the planes facing it meant to do? Wait for it to kill four of their teammates before coming in for the kill? That option is not even possible considering the 5 other a-10s or a-6e's beside them flying in one big swarm of all aspect cancer. The 9.0-9.7 BR has finally succumbed to the sickness that is premium cancer.
@@Boombox-gh8gx I feel as if the Su-25s pose an equally harmful but lesser issue than these as the r-60m's though they will absolutely obliterate you within 2km of you are limited to exactly that due to their short range. The aim-9l however says fuck you and will shove itself up your ass from 5km away no problem. You can learn to play around the r-60 however that may be but once someone gets a lock on you with an aim-9l it's over, period. But all this is accounting for 9.0-10.0 gameplay, 8.7-9.0 I personally don't have much experience in so I cannot say for sure which planes have countermeasures or not.
saying the A-6 sux (as a dogfighter) is like saying a Ferrari sux(at carrining a lot of stuff). Ppl always try to compare things that cnt be compared. You cant compare F-16 wit an A-6. they are designed to do coplete different things. so its pointless to compare them.
Would not recommend its usage in 11.0 ground RB battles, you are a sitting duck and you can’t come closer than 12km to the battlefield because you will immediately get shot down in a 12km radius if you are not flying very very low… Which is „kinda counter productive“ if you want to use LGB‘s. So if there is 11.0 AA, there is no possibility for you to bomb
Honestly I would of preferred if they gave us a variant of the Aardvark instead of the A-6. The A-6 at that BR while faster then the A-10 might as well be one. The F-111 atleast could go mach 1.4 on the deck.
It can track behind the plane? I don't think so... That gameplay footage was only showing a kill because the explosion was close enough to the target. Had you been higher, meaning the deviation would've been greater, you wouldn't get the kill. Edit: Hmm, weird. It does seem to track behind plane now. When it was first released, I did a test drive. It wasn't able to look behind.
This thing needs Harpoons, Harms, Shrikes, Laser guided Mavs, and cluster bombs. id also love Laser guided Zuins. id buy this shit full price at 70$ if it had that. but it doesnt, so it needs to go on sale for half off at some point.. also buddy lazing NEEDS to be a thing in this game. Let the M3 Bradleys and M1A2 Seps, drones and helos do what they did best. spotting a tag teaming targets with bomb trucks like this.
I agree with the Su-25K being a higher BR, too. I casually play that plane and get 4+ kill matches with ease. It's ridiculous. I don't even need to try. With other planes and much more effort, I'd be happy with a 2 kill match, but with the Su-25K, 2 kills is my floor.
I think the main issue is the Br. If this thing is 10.0, I don’t see why the tornado can’t be 10.7. Not that this, and the A10A shouldn’t be at least 10.3.
the J35XS was the biggest P2W, the JA37D is a copy and paste of the JA37C, given it missiles the C version could already carry and more flares through a BOL pod, even though the C could also carry that. would of made more sense if the new viggen came with RB99's but we wont see that for a while.
@@Zaherlol witch is kinda dumb imo, because it literally says in the steam thing that, ALL VECHICALS are 50% off, yet all the good ones arnt XD, like it's Christmas give us a break, imo it's dumb, and we have to wait many many many months to get the sale for them, it's like a sceem to pull all of the money out if us as possible, think about it, near everyone is goin buy the new planes now and not wait the months to get it for cheaper.......
This things fun as hell as a ground attacker. But let me tell you fucking something….STOP GIVING EVERY NEW STRIKE PLANE ALL ASPECT MISSILES! Remove all aspect missile and this game because much more enjoyable. Or give all jets ranked in all aspect missiles flares. Just because an A10 can’t compete with other jets, doesn’t mean you need to give it Aim 9Ls. I don’t care if it’s historically accurate….it’s a VI DE O GAME UH!
This shit broke the game like how the fuck am i supposed to dodge these aim9l in my mig23bn with no flares. War thunder is such a pay2win game but unfortunately i can t stop playing it (I sold my soul to the snail)
I actually hate this plane with a passion literally tries to flare my guns and my trash r3s can’t lock on to it thanks to it just flaring a gust of wind
Double ugly is my favorite plane and i got it granted people use it for air to air but i justtook 8 mk77s and 1 aim9 did low level bomb runs gantanteed two bases and at least one air to air kill ang grinded the the f-16a (cas) in under 3 days with 4x 75% boosters lmao. But it is fun to fly the intruder
this is by far the most overpowered and ridiculously broken CAS in ground realistic there is 0 counter play to a nerd who no lifes this game with Paveways
It’s such a peace of shit I’m trying to grind USA and I should’ve bought f5c it’s a waste of money it’s slow it can’t turn it can’t dive it can’t climb it has no after burner it’s just horrible

I'm pissed it launched on the live server without a functioning radar like the dev server. The laser also got nerfed and isn't 360* like it was on the dever server, so you can fly over targets anymore. On the live server all it is is a high-tech dive bomber
It’s like 300 degrees, hardly enough of a difference to make a negligible effect ingame
I’ve been using it fine just diving and pull up, laser still tracks
@@colevandyken2871 but it's not supposed to be a dive bomber. On the dev server, and irl, it's 360* of tracking
You can still do flyover drops it's still 360 I literally just did a match where I did drops from 25k feet
3:44 Incorrect. Mavericks, Harpoons etc came with the later 90s SWIP modification. Then again, the TRAM could get the AGM-123 Skipper II
thank you for this great review! Would you recommend the A-6E over the A-10a early?
It depends on the situation. Price difference aside, the A-6E is better for Air RB (although only for missiles. A-10 has that nasty inboard GUA cannon), whereas the A-10 is better for ground RB. They're both very good at both game modes, however. So, in short, I'd probably say the A-6E is better in Air RB, although the A-10 can be substantially more devastating with cannons than the A-6E ever could.
@@Tankenstein Thank you so much! This helps me a lot. I've decided to buy the A-6e and after the first round, it's a very potent and nice plane! Think it was the right choice.🤗
@@Tankensteina10 better for ground is a delusional take lmao
I despise this plane, being able to face 9.0 planes with 4 all aspect aim-9l's? That is just insane in quite literally every regard, what are the planes facing it meant to do? Wait for it to kill four of their teammates before coming in for the kill? That option is not even possible considering the 5 other a-10s or a-6e's beside them flying in one big swarm of all aspect cancer. The 9.0-9.7 BR has finally succumbed to the sickness that is premium cancer.
What about the su 25 being able to face 8.7s? Seems way more unfair and plus to kill both our points, 9.7-10.0 99% of the time never faces 8.7-9.0.
@@Boombox-gh8gx I feel as if the Su-25s pose an equally harmful but lesser issue than these as the r-60m's though they will absolutely obliterate you within 2km of you are limited to exactly that due to their short range. The aim-9l however says fuck you and will shove itself up your ass from 5km away no problem. You can learn to play around the r-60 however that may be but once someone gets a lock on you with an aim-9l it's over, period. But all this is accounting for 9.0-10.0 gameplay, 8.7-9.0 I personally don't have much experience in so I cannot say for sure which planes have countermeasures or not.
@@Boombox-gh8gx Russian mains will continue to complain about all aspect missiles until it comes to the R-60M
Can you do a J7D review before tomorrow morning please? I reeeeeeeaaaally need it
4:35 Gaijin needs to fix their "invisible" matter problem.......................
saying the A-6 sux (as a dogfighter) is like saying a Ferrari sux(at carrining a lot of stuff). Ppl always try to compare things that cnt be compared. You cant compare F-16 wit an A-6. they are designed to do coplete different things. so its pointless to compare them.
man these high g missile strike jets are getting out of hand
Would not recommend its usage in 11.0 ground RB battles, you are a sitting duck and you can’t come closer than 12km to the battlefield because you will immediately get shot down in a 12km radius if you are not flying very very low…
Which is „kinda counter productive“ if you want to use LGB‘s.
So if there is 11.0 AA, there is no possibility for you to bomb
Honestly I would of preferred if they gave us a variant of the Aardvark instead of the A-6. The A-6 at that BR while faster then the A-10 might as well be one. The F-111 atleast could go mach 1.4 on the deck.
Cool review, can you review the Grippen?
how.. it's not in game.
Nice video! Can you do a "Lazur-M" review next? Thanks!:)
It can track behind the plane? I don't think so... That gameplay footage was only showing a kill because the explosion was close enough to the target. Had you been higher, meaning the deviation would've been greater, you wouldn't get the kill.
Edit: Hmm, weird. It does seem to track behind plane now. When it was first released, I did a test drive. It wasn't able to look behind.
It was fixed on dev server
@@wapniak666 Ah.. they sure fixed that one quick while US' ADATS elevation is still 59 when it should have been 85
This thing needs Harpoons, Harms, Shrikes, Laser guided Mavs, and cluster bombs.
id also love Laser guided Zuins. id buy this shit full price at 70$ if it had that. but it doesnt, so it needs to go on sale for half off at some point..
also buddy lazing NEEDS to be a thing in this game. Let the M3 Bradleys and M1A2 Seps, drones and helos do what they did best. spotting a tag teaming targets with bomb trucks like this.
This game goes backwards. Instead of needing more skill in the higher br's... you need to have almost none
dude the SU7 dieing to ur AIM9L, i felt that pain
In a downtier which will be rare af it gets 4 free kills
👍. Seems like a good load out. Is there a way to find out how many units sold?
It’s an ATTACKER not a fighter. It’s meant to fly low and fast with a shitload of bombs
this is an absolute monster in GRB. Up to 9 lgb's.....
The missles are absolutely insane in air RB. The GBUs are insane in ground RB
Insane. Insane. Insane. Insane. Insane. -_-
@@CharliMorganMusic correct
tram to 10.3?? What about su-25k chilling at 9.7.....some bias stuff bud
I agree with the Su-25K being a higher BR, too. I casually play that plane and get 4+ kill matches with ease. It's ridiculous. I don't even need to try. With other planes and much more effort, I'd be happy with a 2 kill match, but with the Su-25K, 2 kills is my floor.
@@Tankenstein been there for months aswell
I despise this thing and the people who play it
I love how this plane is actually becoming superior just because having 4x aim9L ability and BR compared to poor Panavia Tornados 😂
I think the main issue is the Br. If this thing is 10.0, I don’t see why the tornado can’t be 10.7. Not that this, and the A10A shouldn’t be at least 10.3.
@@imperialinquisition6006 Event one is 10.7 at the moment
It got a higher rating in air to air combat than ground strike💀
Didn't the A-6E have a radar in the dev server?
oi can u make a review about the japanese 11.0 phantom 2 premium? cant seem to find a decent review
what would be a good prem. jet for relatively new people? I'm at BR ~6 atm and since it's sale, I thought why not? there are some good offers
seems wonderful tho I hate how planes now have the stupid bottom bit of hud tanks have
So I have a 50% off discount and I wasn’t planning on buying one in the first place but since it is only 35 dollars should I buy it
I was gonna get the f4 premium but fuck that I’m getting a a6e even though I already have everything in usa
Yeeppp 3 AIM-9Ls, a gun and 3x 1000lb bombs is amazing
I bought this thing and its a bezst when paired with the bomb two missiles and a cannon pod
dont get how the a6e tram is 10,0 when the j35d is 10.7 and that has not flares, worse missiles and no tracers.
Definitely a P2W plane, just like almost any other premium vehicles introduced into the game this year.
the J35XS was the biggest P2W, the JA37D is a copy and paste of the JA37C, given it missiles the C version could already carry and more flares through a BOL pod, even though the C could also carry that.
would of made more sense if the new viggen came with RB99's but we wont see that for a while.
Will this thing have a sale for Christmas?
Nope, its way too new.
@@Zaherlol witch is kinda dumb imo, because it literally says in the steam thing that, ALL VECHICALS are 50% off, yet all the good ones arnt XD, like it's Christmas give us a break, imo it's dumb, and we have to wait many many many months to get the sale for them, it's like a sceem to pull all of the money out if us as possible, think about it, near everyone is goin buy the new planes now and not wait the months to get it for cheaper.......
I mean its got 4 aim 9L at 10.0
I'm a simple man, I see "A-6 Intruder", I buy.
This
Can you please review the f1c 200?
Anyone know if I should get this or the AV8A as a second premium?
HAS IT EVER BEEN ON SALE
*laughs in 14k lbs of ordnance in Air sim*
not worth 70 bucks but on a sale it might cause most of AAs is nerfed big time now
Would not recommend anyone to purchase it now, at 10.3 you almost always get 11.0-11.3 matches, not truly worth it anymore.
104.95 for any Aussie trying to buy, and its a mark up ouf approx 15 buck from current exchange rate lol 🤦
111.18 for Kiwis
its fucking bullshit greedy gaijin
do rank 7 tear list premium
Worth it
This things fun as hell as a ground attacker. But let me tell you fucking something….STOP GIVING EVERY NEW STRIKE PLANE ALL ASPECT MISSILES! Remove all aspect missile and this game because much more enjoyable. Or give all jets ranked in all aspect missiles flares. Just because an A10 can’t compete with other jets, doesn’t mean you need to give it Aim 9Ls. I don’t care if it’s historically accurate….it’s a VI DE O GAME UH!
This shit broke the game like how the fuck am i supposed to dodge these aim9l in my mig23bn with no flares. War thunder is such a pay2win game but unfortunately i can t stop playing it (I sold my soul to the snail)
the noob missile boat...
I actually hate this plane with a passion literally tries to flare my guns and my trash r3s can’t lock on to it thanks to it just flaring a gust of wind
Double ugly is my favorite plane and i got it granted people use it for air to air but i justtook 8 mk77s and 1 aim9 did low level bomb runs gantanteed two bases and at least one air to air kill ang grinded the the f-16a (cas) in under 3 days with 4x 75% boosters lmao. But it is fun to fly the intruder
i bout this at 60 dollers not 70. i saved so much money :)
I play in ps4 so if I wanted this it'd be 59.99
this is by far the most overpowered and ridiculously broken CAS in ground realistic there is 0 counter play to a nerd who no lifes this game with Paveways
Love this plane.
The A-6E looks like it should've come out in the 1950s and that it would've mounted either six .50s or four 20s.
First
MiG 23 better grinder
Lets go I’m the first one to like
They really need to be sued bc with how predatory their monetisation is I think they could be viably sued in most countries
Second
Uh
It’s such a peace of shit I’m trying to grind USA and I should’ve bought f5c it’s a waste of money it’s slow it can’t turn it can’t dive it can’t climb it has no after burner it’s just horrible
it's kinda meh
