Im really wondering what the BRs are going to look like. Im also wondering if we can finally get Mk103 engines on the GR1. They used the excuse of “The GR1 doesnt have Mk103 engines because thats what the GR4 is for”
Well… If the A200A has Mk103 and the A200C has Mk103s… I smell some hyprocracy
There’s like 1000000 examples of hypocrisy
honestly ill be happy with the MAW pods and ability to carry and have more enhanced paveways (pretty sure we can only carry 4 paveways with the 1995 version). would be nice though if gaijin properly named the italian variants though
So does anyone know what is going on with the Loadout of the german IDS SLE? Its got brimstones (for some reason) but only 9 compared to the 15 on the british GR.4. And only 4 HOSBO, 3 if you want a pod?
And why on gods green earth is it 12.3 in air rb with 2 9LIs?
Given it probably shouldnt have any, I guess its a way to still give an advantage to the GR4 which actually did use them.
That is unknown, wing mounted HOSBOs should be possible, but Gaijin is a bit wierd about evidence for wing mounted weapons on the Tonkas
Its the same BR as the Tornado Gr4. an argument could be made that they should be the same BR as the Mirage F1s at 12.0 but Given gaijin wont even lower the BR of the 3 at 11.7 to 11.3. Im not holding my breath for the SLE/GR4 to be 12.0
Yeah that’s kinda my question, why does it have them in the first place? And if gaijin wants parity between similar tornados why does it have less?
Probably especially since HOSBOs are not in service
Neither am I but the air RB BRs for the tornados make no sense. WTD61 and MFG at 11.3, ASSTA1 at 11.7 and now that one at 12.3?
Gaijin just added it to the SLE because it was one of the proposed weaponry in this brochure from Airbus.
Why wasn’t the loadout identical to the GR.4 is another question.
They were a proposal for the ASSTA4 about 10 years ago, but given Germany isnt even getting its first Brimstone 3s until 2028 (iirc), slated for the Typhoon and they are retiring many Tornados in 2030, I doubt it will happen. so I have absolutely no idea. But Gaijin is just being Gaijin.
Let alone the fact they are Brimstone 1s in game
Yeah that too, Gaijin can be picky about evidence for that kind of thing.
Yeah…
That is from 2015 I think and such brochures arent enough for anything else, otherwise we’d have 2+8 weapons fits for the Typhoon.
But read above about Germany’s Brimstones, unless there is something more recent, its probably be scrapped.
Quite frankly, they arent usable anyway, but I think its a compromise. Germany gets an entirely proposed weapon, but in a reduced quantity
Shame we didn’t get LaGS for it, they are laser guided sidewinders that were actually mounted and test fired, I was looking forward to them being a unique addition to this Tornado.
Just made a biggest mistake of my life, decided to grind the new tornado with the old one, since I have a talisman. 11.7 btw.
A picture:
1)Everyone has bombs and napalm, so your only job is done because everyone is also faster.
2)2x9Ls at 11.7 is very funny
3)Flight model is a complete cow barn
4)Even max fuel isn’t enough for some maps
What an experience.
I did grind out the new tornado and let me tell you its literally the same experience as the ASSTA1 but 0.6 higher
Ik, the only reason I’m doing that is HOSBO
Same. They are nice, infinitely better than brimstones but with all the new SPAA at 12.7 a Tornado at 12.3 is not it. Especially since the amount is kinda limited with 4 hosbo max, 3 if you want a pod
Too bad too late, as always :)
I just realized that Tornado is the most festive plane in the game. Just think about it.
1)You pose no harm
2)You bring presents
3)You can throw confetti throughout the whole game
The only difference with the old guy on a sleigh is that he has a better flight model.

You do when given the right tools
Though been messing about with the Sea Eagles in the GR1 (the weakest of all the Tonka IDSs) and its fine. 9Ls suck, but otherwise ive been getting bases just fine and the odd kill
Imagine loosing a gun fight to a Tornado in a F-5
Has anyone noticed that the (German) ASSTA1 Tornado got a updated cockpit?
It now has the correct Radar Display (left) and RWR display (right) but also the new PHDD (big center display) that was only introduced with ASSTA2. So now we have an ASSTA1/2/3 mixed Tornado.
.
gaijin honestly sucks when it comes to german tornados. I really wished that the SLE didnt get the brimstones (why would it? its not historical) and got the AIM-120 that was actually tested with the SLE and would make it unique
imo i think that the “assta 1” at this point should just be renamed and treated like assta3
