The attack jet is Battlefield 6’s ground-attack aircraft: the F-61V for NATO and the F39-E for Pax Armata. It is a single-seat jet faster than both helicopters, armed with air-to-ground guns and bombs and some air-to-air capability, with flares and average health.

Battlefield 6 splits the jets into two jobs. The attack jet’s job is the ground: tanks, IFVs, transports and infantry in the open. It is faster than any helicopter, carries bombs and ground-attack guns, and has enough air-to-air capability to defend itself but not to win an air war. Both factions use fictional designs (F-61V and F39-E).
It is a single-seat vehicle and not a spawn point: one pilot, one aircraft, one job.

Attack from angles the mobile anti-air cannot see and leave before it can respond. Bomb runs on armour parked in the open on New Sobek City and Mirak Valley are the attack jet’s reason to exist; strafing infantry is a bonus. The fighter jet is the threat, so an attack jet without a friendly fighter in the air should stay low and short. Flares are for the first lock, speed is for the second.
