A 60s era Attack plane. Slow, but with a powerful close-range armament, keep it low in terrain where its small turn radius is an advantage.

— In-game description

The A-6 Intruder is an attack plane from the 1960s era. While lacking in speed its rugged construction gives the A-6 exceptional durability and resilience, allowing it to withstand enemy fire and deliver devastating strikes. Armed with a powerful close-range armament of external precision cannons and lots of heavy unguided rockets the A-6 is capable of unleashing a hail of destruction upon enemy targets with great precision. Despite its sluggish pace, the A-6 thrives in low-altitude terrain, where its small turn radius and surprisingly nimble handling provide a distinct advantage over its adversaries. Pilots skilled in terrain-hugging tactics can exploit its unique capabilities to evade enemy detection and deliver crippling blows to enemy aircrafts.

Veteran tips

The A-6 Intruder is a very durable plane capable of surviving multiple direct hits from an opponent while inflicting devastating damage in return. Due to its sluggish speed it is advised to approach enemies head-on in a surprise attack. Engaging from the side is not ideal, as rockets have a considerable travel time and difficult to hit with when an opponent is moving fast side to side and maneuvering. While attacking from behind is typically advisable, the A-6 Intruder slow speed will often give an opponent the opportunity to escape.

Trivia

In-game, the A-6 Intruder is equipped with what appears to be two Mk 4 external gun pods and six LAU-3 rocket pods.
