But I dont get, all 3 Nations got at the same time there IDS/GR 1, why cant they continue with this and gave all 3 nations at the same time an more modern Tornado?

Obviously for the same reason why Germany received all its MiGs half a year late on average.

but there is no real GR.4 equivalent for germany and Italy

So British will probably have Indian Su-30 MKI, MiG-29UPG/K, Mirage 2000 H/I and Rafael EH?

2 of those in the British tree have no ground strike capability. They are fighters.

I was spesifcally talking about the GR / IDS variants.

There is, for Gernany its called ASSTA3.1 may even the Tornaso ECR…
you could also add the Tornado SLE…
Italy no clue, but there have for sure an more modern one…
Also, no need for an 1:1 counter, but atleast something… which goes in that direction…

The ECR would be very welcome with HARMs since we are getting new SAMs

Don’t know what u mean, I have all my LeClercs and they are my favourite mbts, over Merkava, Type 10, and Abrahams

it really depends on how they’re implemented, so far the indian vehicles have been premium/event only, all those do have the potential to be added but its not sure if it’s gonna be in the tree or what

2 of the german ones are behind a paywall…

There will be an IDS SLE in the future but most likely only about 2 updates from now

A-200C

Although imo this one can wait, Italy need more of its WW2 planes and Aermacchi jets.

but that’s a software update and a new cockpit and no full modernisation as in the GR4

They just got the ability to use JDAM and LJDAM.

Is this some kind of joke to you?

Sure, but it still gets new weapons… like I Said, no need for an 1:1 counter, just something which goes atleast in that direction, but here we are, in the never ending (Air) loop of Germany getting stuff like 2 patches later while having minimal changes to it…

Tornado IDS SLE:

  • LITENING III targeting pod with higher resolution
  • BOZ 101 EC Increase to 200 chaff or flares and missile alert warning system
  • BOW radar warning receiver that can detect C to L band
  • AIM-9L/I-1 for self-defence (and later IRIS-T)
  • Night vision for pilot
  • Reinforced landing gear

Just a software update? Are you kidding me?

I know, but i’m not a fan that’s all.

If i have to pay absurd money, it would be for a meta plane that i really like IRL.
