50th Anniversary of the Tornado’s First Flight: A Special Decal and a Discount!

Download Wallpaper:

On the 14th August 1974, the Panavia Tornado took to the skies for the first time. In 2024, this multinational, multirole aircraft marks 50 years since its first flight and still flies today with the Luftwaffe, Aeronautica Militare and Royal Saudi Air Force. The Royal Air Force, previously being one of the 3 original operators, retired their last Tornados in 2019.

In War Thunder, you can find the Tornado in several variants in the German, British and Italian trees. To mark this occasion, we’ve prepared a special commemorative decal and a discount on the Tornado IDS WTD 61 Pack in the Gaijin store.

Discount on the Tornado IDS WTD 61 Pack!

The Tornado IDS WTD 61 Pack is available at a 50% discount in the Gaijin store!

Will there be any event for Indian independence day tomorrow?

Sadly not, but you can bring the Hawker Tornado. lol (You can’t)

Hey. When adding new camos to the game (partially modern ones) copywrite and legal restrictions must be considered carefully.

This is why we created our own decal to mark the occasion here.

Does this mean the GR1, ASSTA1 and A200A can go down to 11.3 alongside the MFG and WTD61?

Does this mean the Tornados can get a finished flight model?

What about loadout options? Any chance of IRCCM missiles or some of the missing A2G weapons?

Functional BOL would be nice too.

How about hindenburg tanks for everyone?

Also need our historically accurate auto-ACM mode back

Cool, all that’s left is to make the Tornado IDS less useless, than it is now…

It was actually a good Grinder before the base bombing Nerf.
Now it is a pretty useless base Bomber with some Lack of Air to Air compatibilities
