Panavia Tornado IDS [All Variants] [All Countries] | History - Weapons - Performance - Discussion

Because only the mfg has the AS 34 anti ship missles to actualy use them

That their fancy event vehicle feature they got advertised with

Yeah, they all “should” have that ability. But the MFG is the only one with ASMs, therefore, its the only one gaijin deemed needed it. Its kinda a shame to be honest. Not exactly like it creates extra work for them. It already exists. But hoping we may one day actually get the full radar

I don’t understand that though. Having radar that tracks ships is still useful even if you don’t have those missiles and why limit the feature to the rest if they have that ability to do it.

Because Gaijin.

GR1 could probably make use of it to slave the T-Pod and Guide PGMs onto a ship. But yeah its stupid, and they all could get ASMs as well. Gr1 could get Sea Eagles. They just dont want to add them

Is the UK the only ones that Brimstone ATS missiles?

Tornado Gr4 - Yes

Tornado A200C - Not listed on the suggestion, though they have other options. (though I think they do operate it on the Typhoon, so possible overlap?)

German Tornado? Maybe? Might have been tested or a ground crew training version equipped or something. But im not sure. I think German Typhoons operated Brimstones, so potentially an overlap from them

But for both Italy and Germany, it might be Brimstone 2s. Whilst Brimstone 1s would conly ome to Britain. But Im really not sure

Nup no brimstone at all for us, thats only a typhoon thing

Am I thinking of a picture of dummy Brimstones on a German Typhoon?

No idea, maybe the advertisment for assta 4.0 that was scratched.

What we csn get are glide bombs

Yep. Though I have a feeling the next German Tornado IDS is gunna be a BR stop lower than the British and Italian one

The next german one will only get ecm or maws pod, virtualy no ither difference ignoring aim 9li which they already should have and iris-t

Hmm that would probably help out Tornados in ground battles but that would probably mean that there would need to be better SAM systems to counter it.

Yep, which is why im doubting Brimstones anytime soon, even though Id love them for ASB

EIther that or they’ll be quite nerfed, even if that is limited to a max of 6 might be enough

I mean it might come soon due to just how many aircraft get ASMs in high tier battle so I don’t think it will take to long for Gajin to add them.

We do not have them on the Tornado, (they were showed multiple times with the Italian EFA but not on the Tornado) but we have GBU39

Unfortunately information about the air-to-air search mode only really became available after the Tornado was added.

Even now there is very limited information available on it

and people expect us to get accurate representations of ANYTHING going forward? lol

The thing is they should at least give it somewhat of radar instead of outright just removing it. And after adding it they can just patch it when they get more info about it.

Even if they omit the air to air part of the radar. I’m sure there is plenty of info for the GMR

An air to air radar is only of notable use in GRB and ASB, and only in ASB if it has IFF

But I don’t think Gajin should be the ones to say its useful or not cause I would love to have any kind of radar in sim.
