Also the AR Martels are currently mounted directly on the Tornado pylons without a launcher, unlike Buccaneer that has its launchers for Martel.
Is it planned to add those to Tornado? I know there’s not going to be photos of Tornado with applicable launchers, but the UOR fit for Martel on Vulcan and Victor used the launch rails with an adapter/spacer so I don’t think it’s too wild to think Tornado would not have used the Buccaneer Launchers.
Currently the TV ones are not planned, as we dont have any evidence of a datalink pod compatible with Tornados. The AR versions dont require this, which is why they were added.
Right now launchers are not planned, due to a lack of info. But reports are always welcome as suggestions.
Sorry for a bit off-topic. Will there be any change in the status of Indian tech tree.
Want to buy Indian vehicle packs but uncertain about the future. Not really interested in uk vehicles.
Is there any official confirmation that India will stay in uk permanently. Dont want to deal with misplaced vehicles like in case of Israel megach in USA
I completely understand, but the fact remains that the Jean Bart is the quintessential French battleship the best in its class and it is an €80 premium ship in the game…
Consequently, the preferential treatment given to the F-14D could just as easily have been applied to the Jean Bart, simply to avoid locking the best French ship behind a paywall especially considering that premium vehicles aren’t supposed to be strictly superior to those in the tech tree.
The main computer controls the generation of synthetic data for these CRT displays according to the mode selected. The display units also accept video information (for example from sensors such as infra-red systems, radar or TV missiles) and can display pictorial information overlaid by the synthetically generated data.
We dont currently. No images of a pod fitted or even what spesific pod would be used have been found. So the devs currently dont plan the TV variants for Tornado.
Wasn’t too sure about it because Bucc had its own Sea Eagle launcher as well, rather than reusing Martel ones.
Also I think Sea Eagle isn’t hot-launched off the rail, and the carriers on Tornado are for a sort of MACE-to-Bale lug interface, power requirements, and improving aerodynamic separation (angled ones on the fuselage etc.)
Did think I’d seen a photo of Buccaneer with SEagle on a different launcher once, but can’t recall if it was the Martel type one, or the IL-38/Sea Harrier type one. Can’t find it now, either way
Nope, Martel didn’t make it to service on Tornado. However Tornado was made compatible from the start with the Martel family, but the RAF didn’t go ahead with it.
