-The Vautour IIA was an attack jet powered 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 recon duties but had the capabilities to do Close Air Support missions thanks to it's large amount of anti ground ordinance. Such as bombs and rockets for different tasks.

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.
-Introduced in [[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.

+'''Air Arcade Battles'''
-In Air Arcade it may face more advanced radar and IR missiles, in this case, the best option is to use it as a bomber, climbing to more than 9000m and bomb bases or ground targets using the bomb mark of air arcade battles. It can also be used to attack distracted players as a support aircraft thanks to the 4 missiles and relatively good handling of the plane.
-===Air Realistic Battles===
+When used as an interceptor, stay back and behind your team. Once the fight starts and enemies are slow and distracted, launch missiles at the most dangerous targets, mainly fast planes without flares like [[MiG-21 (Family)|MiG-21s]], [[MiG-19 (Family)|MiG-19]]s. Missiles have the best performance at high altitudes, where they will travel further and retain speed more easily thanks to the thinner air. The Vautour also has reasonable manoeuvrability for its size, though it will quickly lose its energy in a sustained turnfight: this can be used to intrude on dogfights, briefly get the four powerful DEFA cannons on target and fire off a short burst, and then zoom away from danger.
-====Interceptor====
+'''Simulator Battles'''
-===Simulator Battles===
+In Simulator, the Vautour IIA suffers from a lack of radar, radar warning receiver, countermeasures, and bomb sight, meaning that the SPAA from bases and other planes will typically have an easy time fighting you, in this cases, the best players can do is attack concentrations of ground targets with cover from allied planes.

-'''''Air Realistic Battles''' '''- Bomber'''''
+===Air Arcade Battles===
-''The Vautour IIA can be used in 2 ways in air RB with ease, as an interceptor and as a bomber. In bomb runs the plane is vulnerable to enemy interceptors like Mig 21s, Mig 19s and F-104s since this are the fastest and carry air to air missiles. In this scenarios, pilots should look at the map, and then go to the place where most of your team is going, to use them as cover when returning to the airfield. The best combination in order to retain some air to air capabilities and destroy a full base is a custom loadout of: 6 x 360/50 kg G.P. bombs, 2 x 500/50 kg G.P. bombs and 2 shafrir missiles. Once the bombs are released turn back to the safety of your team and use the missiles to kill any enemy distracted, help a teammate or kill any AI planes.''
