Overview:
The A-6E Intruder is an all-weather, two-seat, subsonic, carrier-based attack aircraft. It was put into production in early 1963 and was delivered to the U.S Navy throughout the 1960s and 1970s. It saw extended action in the Vietnam War, and participated in strike operations in Libya and the Persian Gulf during Operation: Desert Storm. Its career spanned an astounding 34 years and developed a reputation as a workhorse of the navy, favouring a heavy weapons load and excellent reliability.

It is notable for having an extremely durable airframe and can withstand a substantial amount of damage in combat. It has the ability to fly low, underneath radar, and was called to execute solo missions during the conflict in Vietnam to do precision strike operations deep inside enemy territory. As the aircraft would be called upon in later decades it would also be upgraded to carry laser-guided munitions and advanced navigation equipment. It was eventually phased out of service, with its retirement in 1997 from the U.S. Navy.

ACS is a anarchy where you can get away with any stupid comment, if you like ACS fine but you're wrong. No matter what logic you come up with. It is only "fun" in an online world were these conditions of anonymity exist and people can escape their lives and play alpha pseudo intellectual.

It's funny that this big-a** A-6E is the only attacker that can only survive 2 missile hits, whereas a nimble, and looks-so-fragile Panavia Tornado can withstand 3 missile hit to be shot down.

Calm down, Rodd. There's no need to get mad just because I talk something bad about the Intruder. And I'm sorry if I offend you.

My first fav plane was F-14A. In fact, I was stupid enoigh to think that Pixy's F-15C was an F-14D when playing ACZ on my VERY FIRST RUN (Since back then, I was very bad when playing AC, and not really educated in aviation). However, it seems that my favourites are now the F-15A/C/E, Flanker family, and F/A-18C/E.

Nice, anyways... Can the A-6E really carry guided weapons like the GPB?

It can, but it's the older GBU-10/12/16. So, no GBU-24 Paveway II or JDAMs for the A-6E.

The enemy A-6's look like they have shield-like insignias on their wings. I didn't notice them before, but it's not like they are important anyways since AC2 did not have much of story to explain much of the rebels stuff.
