What’s an AIM-9L/I-1 ? How does it compare to what’s ingame?

Check out the F4F ICE’s weapons in-game.

Ahhh, didn’t even know that was a thing. Cheers.

Basically just a 9L with IRCCM?

Yes.

Whilst i’m here, Figure i may as well ask my daily Ra’am questions too.

  • Anyone know if its FM has been changed yet?
  • Anyone know if it’s received any domestic kit yet?

9Li = 9L with Domestic IRCCM

9Li/1 = 9L with marginally better domestic IRCCM and Smokeless motor

I think so, it has a HD IR imager

More info

Do you have a source where I can verify that it is smokeless?

This should be noted that this doesn’t appear to have anything to do with ASSTA 3.1 or SLE. At least so far in the suggestion there hasn’t been conclusive evidence shown Tornado ASSTA 3.1 or SLE specifically had this and fired these. But more info is always welcome.

So far it appears to be non-standard test configuration Tornado used by WTD-61 to test the pylon.

Well…luckily we have a WTD-61 Tornado in game :)
Pls gib AMRAAMS to my premium Tornado WITHOUT IFF :)

Iirc it got it’s drag fixed (nerfed) according to yesterday’s datamine.

At a much lower BR than AMRAAMs would be.

We have no such plans to introduce those to this vehicle. We spesifcally have an earlier WTD-61 without a targeting pod too.

Haha thanks. It was mostly a joke…mostly.

Part of me hoped for it since it would’ve been hilarious

Now let me twist your words and make the wildest copium interpretation:

PREMIUM WTD-61 LATE TORNADO WITH AMRAAMS CONFIRMED!

Without the “Premium” bit.

Want to put an end to the issue of the worst premium in the game?))

It’s my copium rant. Actually it’s a double premium. It’s a new thing.

It’s terribleness make me enjoy flying it. I find it hard to explain. No IFF and AMRAAMS would arguably make it worse which is why I’d think it’s funny.

I’ve recently had fun with my MFG tornado by flying it blank, only cannons with stealth belts as a type of cannon fighter

As to be expected. Looked to be way overperforming on Dev lol.

I’m now just praying with fingers crossed the Snail is kind enough to give it some, nay, any domestic armament before the update goes live.

hhhh, GR4 got the PGM when it was a GR1 that they were fit test on.

Like not even fired. Or flown with. But that was enough for the developers.

Even more proof of bias against German air. Rules for thee but not for me and all that.
