− | The | + | The A-4E Early (A4D-5) was part of the revision that improved the previous Skyhawk variants.

The "Early" versions of the A-4E lack the iconic "humpback" behind the cockpit, which houses more electronics. It also lacks the improved J52-P-8 engine.

+ | The '''{{Specs|name}}''' Skyhawk was introduced in [[Update "Winged Lions"]] and can be seen as a worse version of the premium [[A-4E (Israel)|A-4E]]. The A-4E Early most importantly, lacks the J52-P-8A engine found in the A-4E, which provides an 8% increase in thrust. Other than that, it is very similar to the regular A-4E. The A-4E Early comes armed with the standard two 30 mm DEFA cannons mounted in the chin as well as two [[AIM-9B Sidewinder|AIM-9B Sidewinders]]. The Sidewinders are quite useful for forcing opponents to lose energy/speed and picking off slow targets. The A-4E Early also has 60 countermeasures, which allow for 30 drops. It's very useful against Sea Vixens, and in uptiers where missiles like the [[AIM-9G]] and [[R-60]] are prevalent. | ||

Description
The A-4E Early (A4D-5) was part of the revision that improved the previous Skyhawk variants. It featured the J52-P-6A engine, which had better fuel consumption while also providing much more thrust. Other improvements included more hardpoints and new computers for navigation, bomb dropping, and more. The A-4E also marked the beginning of the new naming system for the Skyhawk. The "Early" versions of the A-4E lack the iconic "humpback" behind the cockpit, which houses more electronics. It also lacks the improved J52-P-8 engine. During the Yom Kippur War, Israel was losing Skyhawks at an astonishing rate, which led to 25+ A-4E Skyhawks being transferred over.
The A-4E Early (M) Skyhawk Skyhawk was introduced in Update "Winged Lions" and can be seen as a worse version of the premium A-4E. The A-4E Early most importantly, lacks the J52-P-8A engine found in the A-4E, which provides an 8% increase in thrust. Other than that, it is very similar to the regular A-4E. The A-4E Early comes armed with the standard two 30 mm DEFA cannons mounted in the chin as well as two AIM-9B Sidewinders. The Sidewinders are quite useful for forcing opponents to lose energy/speed and picking off slow targets. The A-4E Early also has 60 countermeasures, which allow for 30 drops. It's very useful against Sea Vixens, and in uptiers where missiles like the AIM-9G and R-60 are prevalent.

Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Large variety of ground attack ordnance, including TV-guided ground bombs
- Good turn rate at low speeds
- Carries countermeasures to deal with missiles
Cons:
- Wings can rip off at high speed or high negative G manoeuvres
- Sluggish acceleration and underperforming engine for the aircraft
- Bleeds air speed quickly in high G turn
- Can stall out quickly in Sim Battles without SAS (Stability Augmentation System)
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
