>>64944626because it was the front-line Navy bomber, the A-6 intruder programme is basically the story of evolving post-WW2 bombing capabilities:>A-6, 1960introduction of all-weather/night bombing capability with a CEP better than one German town>A-6B, 1968introduction of specialised SEAD bombing capability>A-6E TRAM, 1971introduction of laser-guided precision bombing capability, increased effectiveness against moving targets>A-6E WCSI, 1985introduction of air-dropped active-guided antiship missiles (Harpoon) replace laser-guided bombs for stand-off anti-ship capability and ever greater accuracy>1990sintroduction of multi-role combat aircraft with integration of land-attack missiles (Mavericks) to the fleet
it sure is ugly though

>>64944626>never get sloppy air head from your WSO
I miss dedicated attack aircraft. They just look so much cooler than fighters and multiroles.
I dressed up as an A-6 for Halloween once. That is all.
>>64947664Did the ladies appreciate your autism?
>>64948815Wanna see my intruder baby? It’s good at low level penetration missions ;)
>>64947664Good man.
Outta my way, cable car fucking SHITS!
>>64948815i was like 12 at the time so even if they did it didnt matteri was a fuckin strike aircraft for a night and got candy for it and that was the important part
>>64950100baseddisregard femininity, acquire hardpoints
>>64951982it looks so fat LOL
>>64946919>smooth slick flying drumstick/cute sky whalei never got why people call it ugly. even the air intakes are slick and aesthetic.
>>64952843They don't like anything that's not a pointy triangle.
>>64953001
>>64953013this is peak Attack
>>64952843it's a disproportionate mess>>64953001retard
>>64953462Apply for MAID, brown frostback
>>64953462>disproportionate messYouth is thinking that. Wisdom is appreciating its amazing lines and form even though they're different from other good looking jets.
>>64953516you can appreciate it all you want but it's still ugly. all the cope in the world will not change that.
>>64953462it's area-ruled, the nose is so bulbous because the wings are fat because he's a chonky boi who needs to generate a lot of electrical power and a lot of lift at the same time
>>64945624>CEP better than one German townnever let American war criminals fool you into thinking they are not war criminalsthe civilians who died in American bombings of Germany were almost all deliberately murdered, in an attempt to terrorize the remaining ones into submission, which did not workB-29 with a Norden bombsight had a CEP of under 50 metersEnola Gay nailed its target from 31kft, first try
>>64944626>FLIR>Laser guided weaponsDon't you idiots realize wild, untested AND EXPENSIVE technology like this DOESN'T WORK? I designed the F-16 singlehandidly btw.
>>64954125>B-29Distinction without a difference. Germany campaign was area bombing of entire civilian populations, both RAF and USAAF 8th. It was not precision bombing. B-26s (and A-20s, B-25s in some sorties) did precision interdiction strikes in Europe of hard and manufacturing, infrastructure targets, but even they were limited by altitude and bombardier accuracy.B-29s were used for low altitude incendiary mass area bombing of several Japan cities, burned to a crisp.All bomber aerial bombardment crews are war criminals by definition no matter national origin.
>>64954183I never said anything else. It was often claimed that bombers "missed their mark" but in reality if they could see the target they could hit it with pinpoint accuracyall the carpet bombing was intentional
>>64955404>we can drop tallboys and grand slams on sub pens from 35kft but we can't avoid hitting dense civilian housing sectors 3km away from the factory we're allegedly targetingyeah tell me another one
>>64955557>elite specially-trained bomber squadron can do it, that means everyone canby the same logic, clearly the fact that not every German tanker could fight like Wittmann and not ever German general could fight like Rommel and Model meant that the Germans threw the war deliberatelyidiot
>>64956671>not every German tanker could fight like WittmannGermans never claimed German tanks were worse than they actually were so idk where you're going with thatit's not just the weapons anywayenough documentation has survived that we could try "bomber" Harris and LeMay for warcrimes even now, just based on mission briefings and orders and whatnot
>>64956721>Germans never claimed that German tanks were worse than Wittmancorrect, thus by that "logic", according to you, that means they were deliberately throwing the war
>>64956827you can stop firing your flamethrower at that strawman you built, it's already fine ash by now
>>64956895it's not a strawman, it's the logical extension of what you claimedthe fact that you're calling it a bullshit strawman is your admission
>>64959190hot
>>64954125>all deliberately murdered >the factories and infrastructure weren't the targetsWhat fucking retardation causes this logic?
>>64954183>war crimes >wasn't illegal under the laws of warPost hand you shitskin.
>>64960437good question>>64960439if you condemn (and convict) for Lidice you must do the same for Dresden, simple as
>>64960500bombing Dresden is justified because it was used as a transport hubif you want to condemn and convict for Dresden, you would have to condemn and convict the entire German general staff, because bombing transport hubs was one of the innovations of "blitzkrieg" that made Fall Weiss and Fall Gelb possible
>>64957526harrier hardmogs
>>64960439not ximcrimes are not a legal inventionmorality is universalmaking an exception for yourself is a crime
>>64960567the justification was spurious and issued post-factumit was known to allied planners that Dresden was full of refugeesthis was a factor in choosing to firebomb the cityfirebombs do jack shit against rail lines and roads btw
>>64961680>firebombs do jack shit against rail lines and roadsthey destroy buildings very well, and the objective was to destroy infrastructure, not just to block up the roads with rubble and wreck rails, but also to destroy shelter that could be used by troopsinb4 fire bombs can't melt brick beams
>>64961716>could beit was being used, by refugees, and allied command knew that
>>64945624>a CEP better than one German townMinute of Dresden accuracy
>>64962179that is a lot of bombs
>>64962245
>>64963258I wonder what it says about me that I recognized that mountain range from a flight sim
>>64963303looks like Chocolate Mountains?
