Thanks for that A6, looks great on my "USS Ranger" (quick number edit of the CVN-77 mod...)  

Question:  The AI as statics on deck don't have folded wings, is this something I can fix with your instruction?

 

 

Yeah, folded wings on the deck would be so great! (are those Intruders flying units or why are their wings folded?)

And thanks to the creators

Would love to see a Prowler AI but why with the Ranger and Saratoga?

I thought both are coming now as Forrestal Class with the Tomcat Module?!?

What is still missing is the most beautiful carrier ever. The Enterprise.

 

Prowler AI, Enterprise, Meteor Soundtrack along the Intruder would be THE module.

And we need a badass wallpaper.

Like mentioned previously, we are initially only getting the USS Forrestal (CVN-59) - the others maybe later but that is not decided yet. What I wrote was simply the most logical scenario of how HB could implement the other ships along the full fidelity A-6. And Ranger because it carried the all-Grumman fleet, Saratoga for obvious reasons. Same ship class and same era of 14A's, B's and A6's.

This is currently my most anticipated module 

 

and yes, an EA-6B would also be amazing

[ghostdog688]

As an asset, it’s a possibility. But without some serious overhaul of ED’s modelling on ECM, it wouldn’t be the most useful. 4 guys to fire two-four HARMs and run home?
I’d rather have something with a greater range of weapons. The A6E is the right choice of variant.

Oh yeah this would definitely be an AI only thing. The Prowler is literally all classified and way too complex for the scope of DCS EM. Just something to fly from the deck and provide some basic jamming and SEAD capabilities.

Now I'm kinda hoping HB might consider an EA-6A or even EA-6B AI for the full A-6E module - maybe even together with the USS Ranger or Saratoga. Just to really complete that 80's carrier deck. 

 

 

VSN does have an EA-6B you can use for AI already. Lots of work already happening with the paint templates.

And something for the fighter jocks to protect.

Having the decks and fleet filled out with the right ships, aircraft, and helos gives us the depth to have a wide range of missions. Thankfully some mods are filling those gaps in but the S-3, SH-60, and E-2 are still needing reworks or a more period option, plus the need for the SH-3 family. Heck EA-3 Skywarriors were still on the boat sometimes through part of the 80s. And RF-8s until TARPS totally took that role over.

 

The MAM mod adding the P-3 and C-2 are super helpful too. Having the P-3 means perfect part to allow for escort or intercept of threats trying to ward off or attack a P-3. An EP-3 would be even better for that role with how often they get harassed. Perfect mission writer's basis to have something escalate into a hot conflict or incident.

Is the C2 flyable or is it just for scenery? Either way, that would make a nice item or see launched or recovered.

Its AI, part of the "Military Aircraft Mod". But it looks beautiful, with folding wings and it launches and recovers from the carrier.

Hey there, I did some (six, I think) repaints for the Intruder mod, so we can match them with several carrier wings. However, sine it's a repaint of the standard skin, I need permission of the original author before I can upload for the community.

Also, I need some help with creating a description.lua, so that users can change liveries in DCS. Because until now, the mod only has a "texture" folder and I have to replace the files each time I want to have a different Intruder in a mission. Anyone who could help me with that?

so I played a bit around with the mod and like it quite a bit

 

obviously its not finished, but I dont mind considering I can fly the A-6 in DCS

 

 

only issue I have is that the AI doesnt know how to drop MK-84 and 83 bombs, and that the Mod uses MK.82AIR instead of MK82 snakeye

also the GPHD bombs are only on TERs, not MERs

best part however are the wallpapers:

 

 

Wow! 

 

Ok, now you've got my dedicated attention! I'm downloading this mod right now and will certainly spend (more than) a few hours with it while HB do their magic.

 

A huge THANK YOU to all involved in the mod!

Yes, sadly.

[aviation360]

I think it would be better for the carriers if Ranger and Saratoga are done along side the Forestall for F-14 module, and do the Kitty Hawk class with the A-6 module when it releases down the road.

A-6 Intruder attack missions are very very scary and fun over North Vietnam, will say that... Game is Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam plus mods

For all you fans of the "IRON TADPOLE" .....

Modelled and UV'd  in Wings 3d.

Textures created in Paintshop Pro

Rendered in Lumion 7.5.

 

Has any one else spotted the fact the Aircraft Id. flown by Grafton and Cole in the Movie was "Devil 505" and not "506" as depicted in the screen shots and trailer?

 

Enjoy

What game is that?

 

[ghostdog688]

This appears to be Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam, but with a lot of mods to make it work well.

Hi there, is it right that the Intruder mod placed on the carrier deck as a static connected to the carrier doesn't have it's wings folded?

Yeah, it's a bit of a pity. If they're set as flying AI, they do fold their wings. So the animation is there, shouldn't be too hard to fix.

100% agree here. Having the 4-bladed prop E-2C as an option would fit in better with the timeline of the F-14.

I tried to make a summary of the performance and capabilities of the A-6 and mentioned the most important factors of it
