What kind of “common subsystems”?
Its just uptalking a garbage plane. Ground Strikers are defined by their wweapon systems. 1000 lb bombs are a thing when mounted on a P-47 to drop it on WW2 tanks. 1000lb’s on a 11.3 plane are super hot garbage. Laser guided bombs are a thing around BR 10 - 10.7 BR. You see some jets using it in the 9-10 bracket with success. GBU on a max BR jet for Ground Forces are also not really good. At max BR you have no change to use this mechanic without getting SAM’ed.
The Tornado’s underutilised. It’s an interdictor not a tank destroyer. Should be used to bomb power plants, factoid, frontline airfields, ammo depots, all the lot.
2 Tornado IDS from Manching (98+59 and 98+60) are heading to Edwards AFB in CA for some testing.
the question is: what are they testing
Hey, US Tornados coming soon?
probably testing a new weapon
if they are then its either a new ARM, Bomb or Cruise Missile
Only time will tell.
the germans supposedly requested information on the AGM-88G AARGM-ER some months ago
war thunder when?
Would still only give you a “hit”
More likely some kind of training missile meant to “digitally” simulate shots.

Probably a type of ACMI pod. Basically they record the aircrafts position and other information for post-flight analysis.

thank you for ruining my hopes and dreams…day ruined😔
So I seem to remember hearing that the update for the Dragon something with the J20 has flightmodel changes for the Tornadoes.
ANyone got any ideas?
ALso, could they use JDAMS, and could we therefore expect Gaijin to add them to the ASSTA at some point?
The Tornados do have an overhauled FM. Its not perfect, there is some work left to be done (like its a bit too draggy) , but in short. It turns way better at high speed and no longer drops like a rock at low speed. But no longer pulls as many Gs in a sustained pull.
The overall result of this means it should be a lot easier to evade incoming missiles
Ohh sweet that sounds really good! Thanks for the info
So if I understand it correctly, it has a LOT more initial pull but not as much sustained. ANd it didnt pull any sustained G anyway.
And its performance is better at slow speed. But I dont know in what way.
So Tornadoes got more dangerous! Excellent!
At low speed it turns a lot better and has a much lower stall speed. Should make landing a lot smoother
You can read the bug reports for them to get an idea of some of the changes and changes that need to happen

There is an issue being investigated over in the main thread:
regarding the aircraft producing too much drag and limiting top speed as well.
But yes. The Tornados (the ADVs in perticular) have gotten a lot more potent and the introduction of Phimat as well could give the ADVs quite a big buff too.
For the ASSTA the introduction of both glide bombs and GPS guided bombs opens doors too.
