Yes, I was including the EA-6B, which is the Prowler variant I was talking about. If I remember right, we still use them. Beautiful aircraft too. Made famous in the movie Flight of the Intruder, though the movie sucks compared to the book
@Vizth
All the Silent Hunter games are easy as hell... IF you understand how to drive a farking ship
Though sometimes finding enemy ships to sink without getting reamed by escorts can be hard.
Oh yeah, and @BM
I love the new F-22 Raptor though.. and the F-35
I hate doing this, but the EA-6B Prowler, and the A-6 Intruder,while technically the same plane, are truly two different jets. I know this because I worked on F-14's on the flight deck on an actual aircraft carrier. The Prowlers were up in the air providing electonic countermeasures. A-6's on the other hand, delivered a large amount of explosive ordinance with the help of her defender, the F-14.
btw, I enjoyed 'Flight of the Intruder' almost as much as 'Top Gun'. Both movies were somewhat accurate while, when it came to showing the cockpits of either jet...that was very inaccurate.
