MAJOR +1 from me!
Been wanting this in-game for years now
Some potential options for GE/researchable camos if we were to get the mid-life/late A-4M:

And another thing as well: with the latest A-4M mod (referred to as Super Mike), supposedly a few were able to carry 2x-4x AGM-65Es, though could not self-lase/designate. I would instead propose Gaijin to replace them with AGM-65F Mavericks, which are imaging infrared.
While there’s no evidence the A-4M was wired for them, there’s also no evidence against it (same for the A-4N "Ayit"s centerline LAU-88 with AGM-65As). It could be done for both balance, and as a way to make this A-4M more desirable in the US TT. We know for a fact that the LAU-117 AND LAU-88 could carry most Maverick variants (weight restrictions do apply however), and with the A-4M being capable of carrying at least two LAU-117 single racks, it would be justifiable. Plus, I believe that both the Navy AND Marines used the AGM-65E AND AGM-65F interchangeably, depending on the mission at hand.

+1 at same BR as A-4N, but with AIM-9Gs making it better in A2A combat, while worse in A2G combat (A-4M should have 4x AIM-9s, as should A-4E)
Of course! +1
I have been waiting for this variant of the Skyhawk since the biggest leak.
Just hope this doesn’t come as either premium or event aircraft, and it should come as the tech tree aircraft instead.

I honestly hope that Gaijin decides to get either an updated version of this model, or just use an entirely new one if/when they add it.
I need muh ALR-45F, AIM-9L, IFF, and better HUD

It depends if the A-4M is added with the loadout of AIM-9L’s
If not, before the A-10A Later, If yes probably after it
Man, kinda sad there hasn’t been more discussion in here…

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but the late A-4M would get full CCIP for bombs, guns, and rockets

And sort of a a TV cam for target acquisition, not sure if it can slave Mavs or TV GBUs. Would be neat tho
Can’t designate targets sadly, as it’s only a Laser-spot tracker and not designator

Can it not be looked thru and used for navigation though?
Nope, as far as I know, it’s only meant to be used in a similar way to Pave Penny on the A-10.
It’s used for buddy-lasing, as as well as CCRP, but that’s about it

Absolutely. 9Bs, Ds, Gs, Hs, and Ls is a lot though, I’d think it wouldn’t have all available. Probably 2x 9Gs stock, with 9Ds at rank 1, 9Gs at 2, and 9Ls at 3/4. So no 9Bs or Hs just so there’s not quite so many modules to have to research. I love the A-4s and it would be awesome to see this, the A-4K Kahu (9Gs and Ls) for the UK and the A-4AR (Shafrir 2s and 9Ls) for Germany.

Honestly, just AIM-9Gs and AIM-9Ls would work fine.
2x 9Gs stock, then research 4x, then 4x 9Ls.
Keep in mind you’d also have modifications for Walleye and possibly even Maverick
