As for the A6A's bomb payload (ie. 36 500 pounders), my reference point was pre-B1B era (1986.) The F-111 is around 60% of the A6's bomb payload.
The max takeoff weight of an (E)A-6 is 60,000 lbs. The most it can carry is 35,000lbs.
An F-111 has a max takeoff weight of 100,000 with a capacity of 53,000+-lbs.
They're not even remotely close, the F-111 is a substantially larger aircraft.
The B-1B'a capacity is almost 5x that of the (E)A-6.
Sorry, but your statement wasn't close to being true in 1986, today or any other year.
Why try to say you meant 1986 or really meant the A-6A (except that A-6A is even wrong because there hasn't been an A-6A in service in decades), which has been retired as long as the F-111? Just say, "yeah I don't know where I got that from".
