Italian Tornado IDS and it's AS-30 Nords

[Nuclear_SlimeBot]

Hello forum, today I wanted to talk about the Italian Tornado IDS at Rank VII and the possibility of it getting AS-30 Nord Air-to-Ground missiles.

Sources on the aircraft we’re very difficult to find but I was able to uncover a picture of the IDS we currently have in game carrying 2 AS-30 Nord missiles, as well as a sheet showing all possible armaments on all Tornados.

(Possible thanks to this forum page: Panavia Tornado IDS [All Variants] [All Countries] | History - Weapons - Performance - Discussion)

So I think the Italian Tornado should get these missiles that way it makes it more unique from other nation’s Tornados, and gives it more firepower against ground units.
