I would like to suggest adding the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missile to the Tornado IDS ASSTA 1 .
Historically, German Tornado IDS aircraft upgraded under the ASSTA modernization program were capable of employing the AGM-88 HARM for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missions. However, this weapon is currently unavailable on the in-game Tornado IDS ASSTA 1.
Adding the AGM-88 HARM would:
- Improve the historical accuracy of the aircraft.
- Better represent the capabilities of the ASSTA-upgraded Tornado.
- Provide the aircraft with its intended SEAD role.
*Suggested Sources:
“ASSTA1 incorporated a complete overhaul of most of the avionics suite, including an entirely new fire control system and weapons computer, GPS and Laser INS navigation suites, and the latest 1760 data bus, giving the Tornado full compatibility with the latest standardized NATO ordnance and their required targeting systems. As a result, in addition to its older loadouts, the ASSTA1 could carry the latest standard NATO guided ordnance, such as the AGM-88 HARM , in addition to the LITENING targeting pod and a plethora of Paveway III laser bomb options.”
