There is a fair argument it would need both an IR and ARH advantage to be viable
Is there really a role the Tornado could fill at that BR tho? I feel like the platform would be at a similar Strenght in Bvr as the F18 just without the agile Flightmodel for closer fights and defensive flying
I think it would be fine as a premium but otherwise the flight performance of the Tornado F3 would be far too great of a difference in comparison to the AIM-120C7 to fill a tech tree role.
I vote no because whilst I do wish for the F.3 to have a decent BVR capability as it did in real life, I also want it to be fairly balanced in the game, which is why I am in favour of a much more reasonable, logical and current BR appropriate alternative.

Meteor was also tested on Tornado…

If they actually add a Tornado with Meteors might just decide to grind the UK

@shum_tingwong-psn hasnt played in a while but asked me to post this on their behalf
In sim its BR doesnt allow for a downtier and is stuck facing top planes already so why not give it a more competitive missile? (If they dont decompress br’s) ive got the normal f3 for the supertemp fox 1 playstyle. Id rather not have to grind out a whole top tier plane and upgrades just to get a new fox 3 and face the same planes.*
*this is my uneducated personal opinion.

I had thought BOL wasn’t large cal?

In game, the flares are about 1/2 maybe 1/3rd the luminosity of a standard calibre flare + shorter burn time.
In reality, Its not a “flare” but a cloud of material (kinda like chaff) that ignites on contact with the air and produces a large IR signature that physically blocks the aircraft from an IIR seekers view in rear-aspect. But probably has a luminosity more comprable to a large calibre flare than a standard calibre

It isn’t, but should be.
The current one? Gotta disagree, as it would be pretty much get dunked by everything

Why would I want that tornado to be irreleventer
God no
The FSP should be added with them and ASRAAMs.
But a foldered late-late would be perfect as C&B torture for anyone that wants to try to make it work
The current F.3 (late) should stay as it is, they can add another F.3 upgrade variant with 120C-5s and other improvements at a higher BR.
Given C5 has been nerfed to be almost equal to A/B variants, C5 can be safely handed out to every A/B AMRAAM carrier with no risk of actual game balance changes.
Yeah sure, let’s also give all planes that currently only carry AIM-9Bs AIM-9Es, all planes that only carry AIM-9Ds AIM-9Gs/Hs, all planes that only carry R-27R/T R-27ER/ET and all planes that only carry R-77s R-77-1s
Sounds good, right? All these newer missiles are “almost equal” to their predecessors after all.
Except post 0.22 build C5 IS an A/B AMRAAM. Rearranged engine, not better nor worse, same flight model, 120s guidance time instead 80s. Thats all.
This is for all intents and purposes 9G and 9H comparison. Or R60M to R60MK.
The devserver is WiP, the missile stats most likely aren’t final and even then the max range is increased similar to how the R-77-1 only really is a range upgrade for the R-77.
Yet you don’t see R-77-1s on the Su-27SM, Su-34 and J-11A.
