how deep down the rabbit hole are you going?  will you make it all the way to the A-6E and its later versions?

or even the cancelled A-6F?

I have added the  ....

so far looks good. 

Should be available on both pylons. 

Although I have seen very rarely LAU-7 on inner pylon. But often Shrikes on both.

I will keep it until we get confirmation.

A Grumman A-6A Intruder of attack squadron VA-165 Boomers from the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CVA-61), armed with two AIM-9D Sidewinder air-to-air missiles on the inboard pylons. VA-165 was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) from 4 November 1967 to 25 May 1968 to Vietnam:

A-6C is in progress.

[+yakarov79 11,064]

coming up nicely, 

the windows on the pod turret were asymmetrical, the right side (FLIR) was narrower than the left side (LLTV)

and can you make an animation that will turn the turret around after take-off...to protect equipment during take-off/landing and on the ground turret windows were facing the rear.

 

On the other hand (iron hand)

Since you are jumping on versions. Any chance to get back to the Iron Hand  B version for a while? at least for the Mod 0 version (Vietnam era)

I can provide LAU launchers for Standard ARM. (only B was carrying Standard ARM at that time) 

 

 

And absolutely side note... 

I was working on a skin set for Intruder over Vietnam based on the TW model (similar to my Corsairs pack) but now I see I have to move to a better A platform. Will take me a while to re-do everything on these new skins...but research was done already, and decals too. Stay tuned.

Indeed, that is a good idea. I will take note of it, my friend.

I will see what I can do.  thank you for your feedback as always.

Nice I can't wait to see your outstanding work as always. 

A new update for the A-6A (added the LAU-34 and LAU-7A rails) will be uploaded after testing these loadouts is for testing in the screenshots. thanks to Coupi.

 

[+yakarov79 11,064]

By the way. Can you make that early A in two versions? One with both (wings and fuselage) airbrakes operational and one with only wing airbrakes and disabled animation of fuselage brakes. 

[+GKABS 8,743]

I will do that no problem.

Just a sidenote. The small Bullpup-A (AGM-12A, B and nuclear D) use the LAU-34/Aero 5 A-Launchrails, while the bigger Bullpup-B (AGM-12C and E) do not use a rail. This gave me some headache on the Skyhawks, because both are of the same weapontype and guidance. I ended up using specificstationcode for the bigger ones on a separate weaponstation to ensure a correct placement for both versions.

Man, that is so awesome - thanks for doing serious work and it's looking fantastic!  One suggestion might be to lower/make more subtle bump mapping on texture but might be fine...

If I am allowed, you may lower the Bump Maps to 5% for panels and 2% or even 1% for rivets so they can show better, I use Normal Map Generator in this case, happy to share it, if you like.
