General information

The Vautour IIA was a jet-powered attack aircraft designed by France during the 1950s. It was operated by Israel alongside the IIN variant. Armed with cannons and rockets, it was used in aerial reconnaissance duties but had the capabilities to perform Close Air Support missions thanks to its large amount of anti-ground ordnance. A total of 25 Vautour IIAs were sold to Israel from the inventories of the French Air Force. The aircraft participated in the Six Days War and Yom Kippur War, and was retired shortly after.

It was introduced in Update 1.87 "Locked On" as a premium pack in the Gaijin store and was removed from the store with the introduction of the Update "Winged Lions". The Vautour IIA has very good flight performance compared to most bombers. The engines of the Vautour can beat most subsonic jets, both in top speed and acceleration. The aircraft has decent manoeuvrability for a bomber, and since it lacks any way to guide bombs precisely to its destination it's better used in low level attacks, flying close to the ground and dropping the bombs close to the target. These can be dangerous but is the most effective way to destroy enemy bases and ground units.
