machtoo Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 My father-in-law test flew the A6 at Alburquerque prior to the Navy adding it to the inventory during Vietnam. He had two tours as CO of VA35 in Nam and was CO of MATWING and CO NAS Norfolk prior to his retirement. He loved the A6 and I was able to fly in the A6 in the mid-70s. He was active duty for 32 years and I was active for 25 years. As an all- weather attack with the VDI and avionics I believe it would be a great add to DCS World. Would be an excellent pairing for the F4 in DCS as they frequently flew escort for the A6 bombing runs. Thanks P.S. He knew Steve Coonts and all of the players in "Flight of the Intruder". He flew the first authorized bombing run on Hanoi on Christmas Day. 1
WinterH Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 DCS: A-6 Intruder is planned by Heatblur Simulations as a future module. However, it is a bit far ahead in the future sadly, as they have a lot of work to do on releasing/finishing a few other modules first. Personally, I'm really looking forward to the Intruder when it eventually graces our virtual skies 4 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
upyr1 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 You're a bit late on this- Heatblur has the A-6 planned 2
Maverick87Shaka Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 sadly it will not happen soon, but at least it's finally confirmed and in development. Also it will come from heatblur, that so far delivered top notch modules! But yes, I'm also excited about A-6, can't wait actually to see it, but it will take time 1 FlighRIG => CPU: RyZen 5900x | RAM: 64GB Corsair 3000Mhz | GPU: nVIDIA RTX 4090 FE | OS Storage: SSD NVMe Samsung 850 Pro 512GB, DCS Storage: SSD NVMe Sabrent 1TB | Device: Multipurpose-UFC, VirPil T-50, TM WARTHOG Throttle, TrackHat, MFD Cougar with screen.

Hiob Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 I can't wait - one of the most anticipated modules for me! (Curtesy of "Flight of the Intruder") 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
Baco Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 yeah planned and postponed to a couple of years if no new shiny toys arises...
WinterH Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 It isn't postponed to be fair. Already during the first reveal HB said it's in the distant future, and that there would be modules between then and Intruder's eventual release. Their public Trello roadmap, revealed a little later, clearly shown A-6 as the 3rd new module in line. It just always was meant to be later as a module. However, the fact that we still don't have the AI bird is somewhat odd to say the least.

And it seems that the QA portion of the implementation seems to take the longest of all the items on the docket.
