The E is the definitive of the Intruder and if Heatblur will do what they did with the F-14, we could expect at least a couple of versions, spanning from the ’70s to the ’90s, the latter should be equipped with HARMs and Harpoons. I’m not usually a “hype train” person, but damn the A-6E is exciting. HB announced it was coming as an AI long ago, but eventually we are getting the full fidelity module!
There are lots of new details to catch, besides the honestly pretty good new clouds and the A-6: In case you missed them video premiered by Eagle Dynamics earlier this evening (zulu time) and Heatblur’s post on FB, the A-6E and the KA-6 are coming to DCS (full fidelity module the former, AI only the latter). This video instead contains a great introduction of the A6, cockpit included!
If you are looking for a quick overview of the versions, this post by MiG21bisFishbedL in ED forums is a good place to start.
The latter would better fit more modern settings, giving the Intruder even more flexibility and appeal (I’m happy with whatever fits the period between mid ’70s and early ’90s). I hope we will get both the A-6E TRAM and the SWIP upgrades. Heatblur’s post on FB mentioned the A-6E, but it seems that they are not committing to any specific variant yet.
