About
The A‑6E Intruder is a Tier 6 U.S. Navy twin-engine attack jet built for all-weather bombing. It carries bombs, rockets, missiles, and one or two 20 mm gun pods. It has radar and a radar-warning receiver to locate threats
Playstyle
Load up ground ordnance—up to 15 × 1,000 lb bombs—or fit gun pods and AIM-9L missiles for self-defense. Fly in, strike targets, and get out fast. It’s slow and clumsy, so avoid turning fights and stay aware of air threats

Pros
➕ Heavy bomb load with reloads

➕ Can add gun pods + decent IR missiles
