IRL, they could ripple fire off 12-18 at low altitude and then they would use their mmV seeker to go find a target, coordinating with each other to all hit an independent target.
But this wasnt ideal in an urban envrioment surrounded by civilians, so a dual mode was added that used a laser guidance to nail 1 target.
But For the context of war thunder, the first mode is what would be used, but we are limited to the second which nerfs them greatly
I am super excited for about 10 vehicles this update, but watching british reaction to receiving a cool and capable top tier striker with a new weapon will be my favorite moment of the patch L
Whats funny is that if you wanted to preserve some semblance of the identity of this weapon. You could make them dual mode IR seeker and SAL, if mmW is too strong.
But no, they actively chose to just make it worthless.
It means we got a little head of ourselves and didn’t remove the incorrect part of the text. It has been corrected on the website now, thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Almost like a FOX-3 for ground with no IFF. In fire and Forget node the Tornado never has to be in harms way and can fire them off without real consequences.
Unfortunately for many of your teammates on the ground and enemy tankers, they would not have a good time at all as there is no counter.
honestly just make them missle require lock on trough the targeting pod, like pars 3 and spikes and be done with it
only laser version is just ehh, cripples european future CAS capability completly
every typhoon will be restricted to launching 1 missle at a time
in the mean time russia and us can just sling ther thermal and tv seeker missles
where is the fairness there?
