Tornado GR.1B

Smin will tweak upon seeing this

Technically yes, though I am somewhat personally hoping that will be added as a mod to the Gr1, in the same way that the Jaguar Gr1B was added to the Jaguar Gr1A as a mod. As it only adds ASMs.

I wonder if you can use the sea suka as an ATGM

this could be the most suitable, but seems gaijin didn’t want to introduce more advanced missiles in game, because they made almost every missile’s range performance similar(except R-77).
and the others, not quite suitable in recent update.

I strongly suspect the reason we have the “Tornado F3 Late” instead of the “Tornado F3 AOP” is because they want to leave the door open to adding the Aim-120C5s to the Tornado F3 if its needed.

My personal guess for next major update is:

CF-18
BAE Hawk
Tornado Gr4

I dont think any would be unreasonable at the moment, but would be loadout dependent.

Though I would also quite happily just take a Sea Harrier Overhaul.

Oooh, that looks like shenanigans right there.

While i hope the tornado Gr4 is the one we get, i know if we do it wont get the brimstones or ASRAAMs

seems no dev blog today lads and lasses

ASRAAM, probably not this early, but maybe in the future.

Brimstones… are a maybe to me, just about. I think they could be balanced if modeled right, but even just the otehr upgrades over the Gr1, almost make it worth it, like a Gen 3 Tpod

Unless we’re about to get blown away by a surprise trailer…

Or some legit leaks get posted…

But yeah, it looks like we’ll be waiting until next week for some news.

I assume that “if modeled right” is just a fancy way of saying “if nerfed enough compared to irl”?

Yes and no.

They could model it as the dual-mode variant that required a laser lock so that there was " man-in-the-middle". Though should be FnF still, but more like a AGM-65, just not over the horizon spammable

mmV could be omitted for now, and have it function essentially as a IIR seeker. So smoke would still affect it

Its probably going to do bugger all damage like the hellfires do anyway, so you’ll probably need spam multiple per target

They could limit the amount available on something like the Gr4 to just the belly mounts (18 down to 12) though if they required a Tpod, then that could be lowered to 9. though would prefer against this personally

So… Essentially A Tornado Gr1 with 9x AGM-65s? not necessarily all the OP

There is also always giving it a moderately higher SP Cost over AGM-65

Damn really thought that we might see an actual Devblog today or atleast a credible leak for the update. Looks like we might get something next week now. Most likely the BP vehicles will be announced followed by the update Devblogs
