M8 look at the US almost 6 aircraft in the past update and this I’m sure the US doesn’t need the C
They don’t need to nerf a inferior plane. It gonna be outclassed by current UK cas planes like gripen or gr7.
Unless it comes with brimestones, then i could be the best CAS plane in game
Unlikely that would happen though
Welcome back HS129!!!
12 Brimstones + 4 ALARM would like a word
this thing can wipe out the entire enemy team if gaijin allows so

There was a trial loadout of 18 brimestones as well
It’s just silly to think that a developer who doesn’t want to introduce longbow on a helicopter would decide to introduce brimstone on a more potent platform like a plane.

they introduced current gen missiles on a potent strike platform too
ah wait no that one’s russian, its allowed to have good weapons

And a tornado IDS is a potent strike aircraft at 11.3?
Giving it a load of likely quite nerfed AGMs is going to suddenly not make it a tornado.
Yes, it was fine (though far from the best) strike aircraft at 11.3 before 1 mach limit killed gbu meta.
And before they added the pantsir.
Now it’s forced to only play at 11.7 and can never get a shot off due to fox 3s and pantsirs
in air RB? yes its a sitting duck
in ground RB? not so much, sure its subsonic but the extra speed wouldnt be as much of an advantage as you think
sure it doesnt have a pod but that doesnt make it a worse striker, its very good at low altitude hit and run
the tornado on the other hand is a High altitude flying brick, sure its faster and it has a cool pod but that thing cant escape a missile or even turn on target in low altitude engagements
both have strengths and weaknesses but the Su is DEFINETLY not bad, and I say that because I have used Su25s in ground RB and attempted to use Tornado ASSTA in the same mode
KH-36 is interesting. Modular guided weapon that can switch between missile or bomb. You can switch the engine with more explosive

ehhhh not really, the tornado could have better AAMs, a better pod and better A2G weapons
I generally only played the tornado Gr1 if it was a full downtier, now with the recent top tier compression. Even in a full downtier it will face 11.7 SPAA and fox 3s. The likelihood of getting anything A2G off is pretty slim.
the thing is, Brimstones would probably be added with the dual mode seeker meaning it would require us to lock the target and fire, they would probably then allow smoke to block it
I can only speak for the german one but that one can get 9Li-1, HARM III, Komoran II, the Tornado Self protection jammer and BOZ101 with MAWS on the version we have in game now
/well and Cluster bombs and MW1 but idk if thats useful for WT/
I assume the British one can get better stuff as well
ASRAAMs, ALARMS, E-Paveways, a better pod, BOZ rails, better engines then the Gr1 and then obviously Brimstone, oh and a Sky Shadow pod for EW if that is ever added
