-Following a collaborative effort between Dassault Aviation and Breguet Aviation in the late 1950s to develop a new strike fighter meeting the requirements of the French Navy, The Etendard IVM entered service in the1962. The aircraft boasted a delta wing configuration and was equipped with a single SNECMA Atar 8 engine, affording it respectable speed and range capabilities. The Etendard IV played a notable role during the Cold War era as a carrier-based platform, carrying a variety of munitions, including air-to-surface missiles and anti-ship weapons. Despite its service longevity, the Etendard IVM gradually succumbed to obsolescence, with its final retirement from active duty occurring in the early 2000s, marking the end of an era for this stalwart of French naval aviation.

The aircraft has incredible guided CAS ordnance for its BR in ground mixed battles, and in air-to-air engagements, the aircraft can take lower end missiles and the powerful DEFA 552cannons to utilize its incredible unloaded performance in dogfights. The many lessons learnt to use the Etendard will be crucial for future French jets, and players who enjoy the Etendard should look forward to the [[Super Etendard]] following it in the tree, which as the name implies, is better in almost every way.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.95 "Northern Wind"]]. It was first conceived as a fighter for NATO's NMBR-1 fighter competition, where it lost against the Italian [[G.91 pre-serie]]. The French Navy, requiring a carrier-borne attacker, adopted the design, which was christened as the Etendard IVM. This is reflected in the Etendard's capability to dogfight other jet fighters while designated as a Strike Aircraft.
