A possible bug report?
Should i make it or you make it?
Also check the variant. wait nvm
Im not sure about how to report bugs so you do it. But I am not sure because if there is a error or different method of measurement.
Ok!
I will do it, i will also read the manual again incase, Which page is this? is it the same manual i sent?
Also you are correct it will be: 3,855.535145 kilograms i calculated it.
Page 1-12? it says on the bottom. and the one you sent was NAVAIR 01-40AV-1T, this is NAVAIR 01-40AVF-1
edit page 53 on the archive
There’s 2 ways you can do it. When in game, click (or hover over) the community button in the top left of the hangar and click the button labeled “Report an issue” in the drop down menu. The other way is to go to Community Bug Reporting System and submit a report from there. Though the first way is just a shortcut to get to the same bug report forum, and it auto fills out the platform and version options.
I made the bug report: Community Bug Reporting System
I also added an important note for the moderators regarding that.
The manual has more mentions of the P6 engine’s thrust:


so i think its correct
I will also include it in the bug report in photo section.

https://www.generalstaff.org/CDA/Air/A-4/A-4E_Skyhawk_SAC_1-JUL-1967.pdf Also shows the 8500lb thrust rating. This was used in the accepted shrike report so it should be a good source to add.
This source from 1970 does list ability to carry aim 9d

however the earilier source from 1967:
Only lists sidewinder 1A (aim 9b). Since the A4E in U.S. tech tree is an “early” variant it might not get aim 9d. Also the later 1970 source shows ability to carry double shrikes on stations 2 and 4 but the earlier accepted source only lists single shrikes on 1, 2, 4, 5.
Interesting tactical manual is public.
The manual that has yellow cover basically means it is/was classified.
Maybe the images/scans were taken for internal record keeping when it was classified and then same images were released when it was unclassified? I mean it does say unclassified up top so im not sure what you mean
The Navy categorizes NATOPS manuals by three cover color, blue, yellow, and red, which indicate their security classification. Red indicates that the contents require extreme caution in handling, as unauthorized disclosure could pose severe risks to national security.
BTW, won’t this manual get you totally screwed by ITAR anymore?
