The Grumman A-6 Intruder first flew on April 19th 1960, and served in the U.S. Navy for over 35 years. It participated in most conflicts of its time, including the Vietnam and Persian Gulf Wars. In 1979, the aircraft received a major upgrade — the TRAM Target Recognition/Attack Multi-sensor system, significantly expanding its arsenal and increasing its accuracy.

About this aircraft
The A-6E TRAM Intruder relies solely on its hardpoints, but the variety is astounding! AIM-9G and AIM-9L air-to-air missiles, Zuni Mk32 Mod 0 ATAP and Mighty Mouse FFAR rockets, AGM-123 Skipper anti-ship guided missiles, incendiary tanks, and guided and assault bombs of all types and calibers, making it suitable for any mission. Choose your weaponry and crush your enemies wherever they may be!
And I hope theres a tech tree variant planned, as it isn’t actually too immobile for what it is, and will certainly be an upgrade over the A-7s in game
Just letting everyone know that this thing has a broken flight model which they haven’t bothered repairing. Any roll control causes a ridiculous nose down movement which I guess is supposed to simulate the effect of spoiler roll control. But it’s totally exaggerated. YOU CAN FLY INVERTED AND COMPLETE AN INVERTED LOOP or several by just wiggling your wings left and right.
I fly it in simulator too and it’s very pronounced. Please try it again. Roll the aircraft inverted and roll rapidly left and right (without sas). Done correctly it will do an inverted loop. Even if that precise ridiculousness isn’t repeatable at your end you must notice it when manouvering normally. I spent a few days trying to program a VKB profile where any roll input would mixed at about 3:1 to positive elevator input (like is common in RC aircraft) just to make the A-6 flyable. I wasn’t successful so I abandoned the effort (and the A-6).
