Tornado f3 late at 14.0? Ah yes let’s kill off a dead plane even more

Why would you want to put the plane in a worse position.

I don’t necessarily think it would be. With 320 large calibre flares from the BOL and 216-432 large calibre chaff from the phimat(s) it would be defensively sound.
Those changes should come regardless and that would put it at 13.3. so 13.7 is only a small difference in terms of BR
If the C5s are good enough, then it should be able to hold its own against the other 13.7s
Don’t think the F-3 ever got the C-5
Fsp did
im saying no as i want it to be as low as possible as tornados suck

Not to the current one imo. I’d rather they add another variant (F3 later :P) with C-5 and ASRAAM. Wouldn’t perform very well, as the airframe would be horribly overtired, but could at least be funny.

Note that I don’t play Britain, so do with my opinion what you will

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
