Why would someone even use the tornado?
Unless someone really likes the plane, i don’t see any point in using it, especially when the eurofighter is just better in every way.
Same reason players have a Su-34 and Su-30.
Different spawn costs for CAS aircraft.

The gun on the Comanche isnt fixed. Its a rotating turret however it can be retracted into the Heli to improve stealth profile when its not necessary to have out

Thanks for the explanation, I see how that’s gonna be an issue
ooh thats cool. couldnt see any articulation thats why asked
lmao okay I wouldnt call not being able to see your own missile a buff
If you have the crew slots it’s always worth it to bring both an attacker and fighter at top tier because their different SP pools, if you spawn the fighter the SP cost of the attacker won’t increase from that iirc.
US, USSR and to some extend Israel are really good because they have the F-18/F-16 and Su-30SM respectively for the multirole fighter and the F-15E/F-15I and Su-34 for the attacker.
Helis are a bit iffy because almost everything without FnF missiles (except maybe the Ka-52) is pretty mediocre and will likely get even worse after this update.

The articulation is there, however its pretty difficult to see since its almost seamless so on alot of pictures it either isnt visible thanks to shadows or image quality
the tornado while an attacker is a waste of a slot, they completely lack the self defence of the F-15E and Su34 they lack the FnF weapons of these 2 planes and have a far worse flight model

Fun. Tornado is WAY cooler then the typhoon. One of the most iconic British airframes right next to the harrier

Hope they add another 30+km AGM launcher so the UK suffers some more 🙏
I both want new aircraft (Hawk, Jag GR3A, Harrier GR9A, etc) and just want them to spend an update fixing old aircraft.
We know at least fuel dumping is coming, but an update that focused more on refining mechanics for aircraft would be good (Heat sigs, CMs, RCS, etc etc)
I did ask Gunjob whether its time to start poking the devs hard about BOL overhaul fixes because IRIS-T is coming (via a SAM) and they are designed for counter-IIR and the response was “we’ll see when the dev server opens” which I might just be reading more into it than I should, but might be a subtle hint of “something is coming, just be patient”

gonna be honest im fine for planes I want one update where ground is the focus not to mention hoping the UK and Italy haven’t been left out to dry while geramny gets a 40km SAM
GR1 (if they fix its engines) and the GR4 are really fun mud movers that are unfortunately humstrung by missing features. Also limited gameplay in ARB but really fun in ASB
Tornado F3 is really good with the new FM (though still technically unfinished) and would benefit a lot from having full strength BOLs but in something like ASB where you can guarantee a downtier with the right bracket, it is very very potent these days
Tornado F3 Late really needs its missing Phimat pod + BOL overhaul to give it the defensive aid it needs and then it could also be a great candidate for an early Aim-120C5 carrier. (let alone ASRAAM) but even with its current loadout (with Aim-9M getting lock rnage fixes) is quite a decent aircraft. Im really hoping for some new SB rbackets where it will be playable in a downtier.
