I PAID $70 FOR PURE DISAPPOINTMENT - A-6E TRAM Intruder in War Thunder

In this video I bought and played the A-6E TRAM Intruder that costs a massive $70!!! This makes it one of a few 70 dollar premium vehicles in War Thunder.
The only thing is, this is definitely the worst of them all! :) A subsonic airframe at 10.0 that will face mostly super sonic jets. Being armed with Aim-9J missiles it's got potential for Air to Air but when it comes to ground... SAM can just eat it alive!
Here is the showcase of my experience with this aircraft! :D

    Hey now Odd,...using a strategic bomber to wipe out a base from 30,000 feet is not only fun, it is how the planes were designed to be used. As for the A-6, you realized that altitude is your friend, that's good. The game apparently needs the "gunner" to be at max skill (or close to it) to know the difference between a real target and corpses. So, out of curiosity what is that team's airplane gunner skill (since Gaijin makes you skill points three times for a crew: Ground, Air and Naval) rating? In the real plane, You would concentrate on flying while the bombardier (the guy in the right hand seat) would be the one finding the target, dropping the bomb on the target and if necessary, guiding the bomb.

    While playing Air Rb yesterday, the enemy team's top scorer was an A6 pilot with 5 kills. But get this, he was only level 29, his highest tiered plane, aside from the A6, was an FW 190 F-8. Pretty easy to rack up kills playing against planes that don't have countermeasures and use crap missiles. This last batch of premiums has done a disservice to top tier(ish) gaming. Similarly, the Mig 23 ML is another issue; both US 10-10.3 and USSR 11.3 teams perform terribly; makes playing the F4C and Mig 23 MLD quite painful lol.

    Nah you are wrong on this one. This thing is phenomenal CAS. I would say its the best CAS for 10.0, 10.3, and arguably even 10.7 aswell. Its simple to fly and if you know what you are doing, and are used to your targeting controls, this aircraft is pretty much untouchable by SPAA. The targeting pod on this A6E is more capable than anything at its BR or higher, with high resolution thermals for easy spotting. I am not a tanker, but in ground rb, the A6E has allowed an aircraft main like me to single handedly change the tide of battle. Unfortunately though, its too expensive, even if it is this good.

    Contrary to your opinion, I found intruder best premium vehicle for grinding. I play ARB and most of the time I have minimum 1 kill per match, but most of the time 2-4 kills. Aim-9L is such a good missile. I dont use guided bombs, my setup is 3x aim9L, canon or 4x am9L. I also take 3 mk83 bombs so i can drop on the base and finish someone elses job. If the area is pretty clear i use canon to destroy some groud targets and return to base to rearm. on the way home if there is any aim9L left i usually hunt for some bots. Yes you are slow, but not as slow as A-10 and countermeasures most of the time do their job. I was dissapointed when i purchased premium F-5C. It only have Aim9E that are much worst than L and you also can carry only 2 of them. I got way more kills flying slow intruder that F-5C. The intruder is much better for grinding both RP and silver lions and for me, its actually most fun aircraft to play and i got F-14 and F-16 now 😂😂

    With all due respect: I believe you're wrong about this one. As someone who owns the A6e I can tell you that, not only is it a very consistent grinder in air rb, it also is a great cas plane. Having laser guided bombs at 10.0 is actually very powerfull in the hands of an experienced cas player. The reason I believe it wasn't working particularly well for you is that you are getting way too close to the AO. These bombs can glide quite far if you have enough altitude. this enables you to drop them from at least around 7-8 km and you can drop them from even further away however this isn't quite as consitent as your target might move too much or be dead before the bomb reaches it. Another thing I would recommend is bringing 2 AIM9Ls instead of the gunpod as I believe that is a more effective counter to enemy planes however that might just be personal preference. Now is it worth 70 bucks well for the price of a brand new triple A title game this is a very steep price but I don't think the plane itself is the issue there. I would love to see you giving this plane another shot I can also really recommend watching Hunter's videos on it he shows how in the hands of a great CAS player this plane is absolutely lethal. Now just to be clear I mean no hate here. I realy respect you as a creator and enjoy your content. I just believe that your critique of this plane isn't entirely justified.

    I think if you're looking at just yourself as an individual doing well playing passively to survive to get the maximum potential out of the plane, it makes sense. The thing for me is the TTK is far too long to make an impactful difference on the battlefield as compared to an A4-E with Bullpups. It's a neat trick to take out one vehicle at a time from the stratosphere but you can get 2-3 K's in a single pass with other planes with different armament. It's also not very engaging either and frustrating at times in comparison to how an A-10 plays or even a supersonic plane with dumb fires. The fact it's $70 is absolutely filthy and it really is personal preference. I don't really want to play it again because it's really mind numbing. I'm sure Hunter had his fair share of FlakRad's and Tunguska's before some of the games he had in it. I'm just trying to show the reality of playing WT instead of being a hype machine for the game.

These prices are really getting out of hand and it is quite frustrating how gaijin keeps pushing it and gets away with minimal backlash. Being vocal about this as someone in your position is respectable as I feel like this community often feels powerless when it comes to opposing some of Gaijins questionable decisions. As for the plane, I understand it's not your playstyle and that's fair enough. For me hearing that *ding* noise 30 seconds after dropping a bomb and while you are already safely out of range of the aa is one of the most satisfying things there is. However I can totally understand that this is not how everyone enjoys playing. And that it often may not actually be the most impactful.

    Despite what you may think, I've actually had good luck with the Intruder in Air RB. Enough Su-25's to keep me out of 11.0-10.7, enough jets faster than the Su-25's to get there first and eat 3x9L's, and a nasty gunpod to mop up what you can. Got my 4th ever ace in this plane, and it only took me about 7 games or so. Situational, sure, but as far as situational planes go, it doesn't disappoint. For the price though, it's rough, and easily arguable that it's not worth it. However, as a massive fan of the A-6, I planned on buying it since day one. I don't regret it, but in an odd turn of events, I definitely use it more in Air RB than ground.

    He used it wrongly, the TRAM has become my default CAS plane at this BR now. You need to be careful with the laser lock or not use it at all. Because it is just too prone to switching lock, for example to a wreck or a close by vehicle. This kept messing up my attacks, also on the Ka-50. Don't lock the laser or immediately decouple it from your target when wrecks or anyone else is nearby it.

    AG radar for fixed wing has been on dev servers for a while, it's still having issues (look at the AH-64D's ground radar and how well that works when it wants to). One day it will show up, either way there won't (or shouldn't be) IFF or anything on it, let alone the A-6 targeting radar was coupled to an auto attack system for low level strikes that would pickle the bombs itself and fly itself to the target on an attack profile which we won't see so the system would be pointless anyway

    By the way, when you make the Red lock on the ground you can use that to get the sights where you want them and stabilized before going into them. Lock it up on a spot on the ground near where you want to look. Go into the sight with thermals on and then you are already in the right area and stabilized. Makes it a lot easier to quickly find a target.

    It doesn't get to full altitude potential in GRB, bombs don't have any sort of true standoff glide capability. It isn't a GRB jet. This specific jet is a near complete waste of money in GRB. It can be somewhat effective in Air Sim for precision drops on SPAA and back when airfield SPAA didn't respawn, it could really turn the tide of an air sim battles because you could knock out all the SPAA and render the airfield defenseless. That has since changed. It's best used for taking out defensive SPAA situated among clustered ground spawns in air sim where the precision capability isn't confused by said clustered ground targets in the way Mavericks are. But it's SLOW AF in destroying targets, being limited to one laser, one target and one pass overhead then extending out and resetting is tedious. Maybe some skilled players can switch targets fast enough for a second GBU to hit a second target but that's a lot of work. Ultimately I think the premium A-10 is the much better deal for the BR.
