Usage in battles

Air Realistic Battles - Bomber

The Vautour IIA can be used in 2 ways in air RB, as an interceptor and as a bomber. In bomb runs the plane is extremely vulnerable to enemy interceptors. Its most common threats are Mig 21s, Mig 19s and F-104s since this are the fastest and carry missiles that can exploit the lack of countermeasures of the Vautour IIA. In this scenarios, pilots should look at the map, and then, go to the opposite side to which the enemy airfield is pointed, since in almost all matches airfields are pointed to the left or the right. 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.

Air Realistic Battles - Interceptor

When used as an interceptor, players can exploit their air spawn and the missiles best performance at high altitudes, stay back and behind your team. Once the fight starts and enemies are slow and distracted, launch missiles to the most dangerous targets, mainly planes without flares like Mig 21s and Mig 19s. Missiles have best performance at high altitudes, meaning that they will travel further and retain speed more easily tanks to the altitude advantage.

Air Arcade Battles

Use in AB is not recommended, because it may face BVR missiles and powerfull planes, like the F-5C, F-4F and Mig-21MF that will have a great advantage of speed and range against the vautour, however pilots best opportunities in this battles are to climb at 10.000m and use the bomb mark of arcade battles to know when to drop the bombs

Simulator Battles

In SB the Vautour IIA is even less recommended, this is due to a lack of radar, bomb bay, or any sort of ballistics computer, that means that pilots would have to get really close to the bases in order to drop the bombs, wich will result in a lot of deaths to the SPAA protecting the bases, or even crashing to the ground due to lackluster vertical performance at high speeds. And of course, use as an interceptor is not possible, this is because the Vautour IIA lacks radar, so it would not be capable of atacking enemy aircrafts with ease.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good DEFA cannons for fighting air targets
  • Wide variety of bomb and rocket payloads for ground targets
  • Has Shafrir missiles for possible self-defense against air targets
  • Gets an air spawn like other bombers
  • Decent maneuverability and energy retention for a bomber

Cons:

  • Bomb load is pretty inadequate, may have issues destroying multiple bases
  • Shafrir missiles are not very manoeuvrable against fighter targets
  • Has no bomber sight or ballistic computer
  • High compression at speeds above 1050 KM/h
  • Guns are pretty inaccurate without upgrades installed

History

The Vautour IIA was a jet bomber ordered by the French Army as a jet bomber with low level attack and the ability to operate in all weather. France and Israel worked together on defense, such as on nuclear, aviation, and research for armaments. Israel was motivated to buy the Vautour to counteract the Egyptian IL-28, purchased from the Soviet Union. A total of 30 IIAs were produced, with 25 going to Israel.[1]

The IIA was a single-seat, long-range attack aircraft armed with cannons and bombs. It was operated by the "Knights of the Heart" squadron out of Ramat David Airbase. The Vautour was used as aerial reconnaissance 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 II. The Vautour was retired in 1972, with the "Knights of the Heart" division replacing them with the Skyhawk.
