You are correct. There are no fighter jets that I know of with a side by side cockpit configuration. This plane was not a fighter. It was an all weather attack aircraft primarily a bomber though it could also to anti sam site missions and air to air refueling as a tanker.
The only semi-modern "fighter like" aircraft that I know of is the f-111 (It was also a strike aircraft like the a-6 even if it operated differently). Fun fact... its ejection system, ejected the whole cockpit not just the seats :)
I really enjoy the A-6. It glides beautifully, and using it in conjunction with Touching Cloud's Kinetic Assistant make for some awesome Carrier Activity.
@user-ek8sh2fg6f Well... it is not really a simple bomber either, it is an attacker. The letters in the name tell you what kind of roles the aircraft performs: Bomber -> B ->B-1/B-2/B-52... Attacker -> A ->A-6/A-7/A-10... Fighters -> F F-16/F-22/F-35... Transport -> C -> C-130/C-5/C-17 Trainer -> T -> T-38/ T-7 Experimental -> X-1 all the way to X-66 There are some multi-role aircraft like the F/A-18 for example that can be considered both a fighter and an atacker. Tanker aircraft -> K -> KC-10 / KC-135 Eletronic warfare aircraft -> E -> EC-130H / EA-6B / EA-18G And so on... there are a few exeptions that do not follow this naming convention... but generally, this is it
@@StevesSimStation The A6 was usually used in a precision ground atack role. It was not designed as a fighter. It did have air-to-air cappabilities, however...those were used in a defensive role rather than offensive.
Stop crying because there are military aircraft in MSFS There have always been military aircraft in previous versions of msfs. If you don't like them don't download and fly them. Some of us love and only fly these aircraft in MSFS. I work full time and have a family I don't have 500 hours to learn to fly the study level aircraft in DCS. Live with it

Sorry for the wrong nomenclature.

Glad you're enjoying the plane. I love the flight model looking forward to doing further content with it
It's not a fighter, it's a bomber. A6, the A stands for Attack.
Sorry for the wrong nomenclature. Article I read said it can could be a bomber and fighter

w vid watched the whole thing
Thank you
Nice
It’s an A-6E. The A-6F was never produced.
Starting to think the article I read was lacking a tonnof information 😅
If you want to do civil. MSFS. If you want to do combat. DCS. Having planes like this in MSFS is just a tease and lame.
I'm considering getting more in DCS
Yeah. I am sonannoyed. This is supposed to be in DCS
