The Vautour IIN being a jet bomber, doesn't lend itself very well to any sort of dogfight against its adversaries. The compression, handling, and overall sluggish nature of the IIN make it a very hard plane to focus solely on enemy fighters. It's best to use it as a support fighter: picking off enemies that are distracted or other attackers/bombers who aren't as maneuverable as fighters. The IIN also gets access to 4 Shafrir 1's, which can be used to force enemies to turn, destroy other bombers and get AI planes. The 4 DEFA 30-millimeter cannons can easily shred planes apart in a tiny burst. Unlike its predecessor, the Vautour IIA, the IIN has a very capable radar complete with IFF that makes spotting planes out of visual range much easier.

If going after planes is difficult in the Vautour IIN, it can also access bombs and rockets. A loadout with rockets and bombs can prove to be very efficient in draining the enemy team's tickets. In addition, the armored target belt can very easily destroy light pillboxes and any category of tanks (Light, Medium, Heavy) and other AI ground targets. However, be wary of the compression and do not get greedy while going after targets.

At a battle rating of 9.0, there are many noteworthy adversaries. Uptiers to 10.0/9.7 are very common, which means you will see SU-25s with R-60Ms, A-10s with AIM-9Ls, and other planes with very maneuverable missiles. Furthermore, your main advantage, speed, will be nullified by planes like the MiG-19, F-100, MiG-21, and more. To stay effective during the match, it's best to side-climb and stay out of the way of many of these dangerous foes. In downtiers, many planes are slower than the Vautour, which allows the Vautour to utilize its speed to run away and sta,y safe.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Fast (1000+ km/h / 625 mph)
  • Good bomb load and rockets
  • 4 hard-hitting DEFA 30 millimeter cannons
  • Able to hold 4 Shafrir air-to-air missiles

Cons:

  • Sluggish handling
  • Can constantly be uptiered

History

The Vautour IIN was a two-seat, all-weather interceptor variant of Vautour IIA with radar, and armed with cannons, air-to-air missiles, and unguided rockets. It was operated by the "Bat" squadron out of Tel Nof Airbase, until the arrival of the Mirage IIIC, when they were handed over to the "Knights of the Heart" division at Ramat David Airbase. The Vautour was used as aerial reconnaissance and night interceptors during the Six-Day War, as well as later in the 1960s. They were replaced by the A-4 Skyhawk and the F4-E Phantom. The Vautour was retired in 1972, with the "Knights of the Heart" division replacing them with the Skyhawk.
