If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: (Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Relatively low top speed, acceleration and climb rate, especially when carrying heavy payloadsĭescribe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction.TRAM turret cannot look fully backwards.Gunpods have poor accuracy and are wing-mounted (convergence issue).No internal gun taking gun pods or air-to-air missiles for self-defense reduces payload amount.Built-in TRAM turret provides FLIR and laser-targeting capabilities.Decent flight characteristics when lightly loaded makes it viable in dogfights.Access to excellent AIM-9L all-aspect air-to-air missiles.Very large air-to-ground payloads, with many choices for suspended weaponry.If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB). Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. 5 x 1,092 lb GBU-16 Paveway II guided bombs (5,460 lb total)ĭescribe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics.9 x 277 kg GBU-12 Paveway II guided bombs (2,493 kg total).

However, if the battlefield calls for very specific loadout requirements, the A-6E can provide that kind of flexibility to bring only what is essential to the needs of the battlefield.ĭescribe how the aircraft behaves in the air. That said, the A-6E TRAM is subsonic-only, so it cannot get to the battlefield quickly and falls closer to the category of A-10s and Su-25s. The assortment of weapons is quite remarkable, with smart weapons like guided bombs not needing a targeting pod due to the TRAM system installed in the aircraft. The weapon it brings into the battle is dependent on five hard points that players are able to customize.
War thunder wiki update#
Introduced in Update "Apex Predators", the premium A-6E TRAM is one of the more unique aircraft in the game as it does not come with any native weapons. All Intruders were retired by February 1997. The A-6E Intruder and its variants continued serving the US Navy in most combat operations from the Vietnam War onwards, including the 1991 Gulf War. It featured another enhancement in 1979 with the Target Recognition and Attack Multi-sensors (TRAM) system, which enabled better targeting abilities for improved munition accuracy. The A-6E was introduced in December 1972 with better navigation, attack, and radar equipment. Following experiences in the Vietnam War, the A-6 went through multiple variants featuring improvements or for specialized roles. Following development and testing, the YA2F-1 was accepted into the US Navy in February 1963 as the A-6 Intruder. Grumman was one of eleven companies that sent their designs for selection, and Grumman's design was selected in January 1958 as the YA2F-1. Aside from the type of engine, the new plane was to be capable of all-weather operations. The obsolescence of the AD/A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft led to the search for a new plane able to satisfy both US Navy (USN) and US Marine Corps (USMC) requirements.
