WTD-61 in game is based on an early test variant with no targeting pod.
I was surprised how poor the survivability is with the challengers, in my opinion they do nothing better then the leos or abrams.
Then why does it have the radar for tracking sea targets other than the obvious reason its straight copy of the MFG Tornado with the Kormorans removes as a quick cashgrab? Wouldnt a early Tornado pre ASSTA1 upgrade have made more sense to add instead?
Erm, isn’ the Challenger 2 the only “vehicle” thread to have two parts?
Not being critical of your post, but @hienapunk that bit might be worth remembering. There’s only so much yelling that can be done via CBR and Forums, and frankly a lot of people have been worn down by the apparent intransigence of Snail

the radar is the same radar all IDS tornados have
it should be on all versions

Just with the fact that only the MFG has an working search radar for some r3ason
This effectively is a Pre-ASSTA Tornado. With no targeting pod.
the MFG got the Naval mode (bugged tho) because the Komorans need it to function
@Smin1080p_WT Could you share the source the developers used for this report? Because unless Germany has a time machine it’s completely impossible for an ASSTA 1 standard Tornado to use an LJDAM.

Then why name it after the tornados used by a testing site for weaponry on aircraft?
Problem with that is a) it’s unconfirmed/disputed (QRH Twitter stated it was a 1500bhp engine, but a Minister’s Question makes out that it is 1200bhp) and b) there are well known cooling issues that currently preclude 1500bhp output.

Sure, but in the end the Kormoran still workd like shit
The two don’t need to be separated? It can be a Pre-ASSTA Tornado and also be from a famous test squadron with some awesome looking paint schemes.
this testing unit test anything and everything the Luftwaffe could adopt and they definitely tested the Tornados in prototype config too
Yes, but the WTD61 variant has it too instead of just the tracking radar used by the other Tornados, because its a carbon copy of the MFG Tornado with a different skin and the Kormorans removed
ASSTA 1 ~2000
ASSTA 2 ~2007/9
ASSTA 3 ~2012
ASSTA 3.1 ~2018
LJDAM test were around 2008/9 so how can the ASSTA 1 use it?
(Dont quote me on the year, not 100%)
I am fully aware, however I have no Idea what you want to tell me with that
2000 according to Panavia
because it’s just a software thing and WTD-61 tested everything on their ASSTA-1 Tornado
they always use older aircraft for their tests, they’re still using one of the Eurofighter’s pre-Production airframes to do all testing for new equipment
