Don’t forget the harrier GR.7 still lacks an ejector seat…
Yeah there is that too. Which is going ot be helpful as SB is probably going to UK Typhoons vs German and Italian Typhoons if we ever get Typhoons in game
Yeah… but missing slats among other missing features for the Tornado would have signifcant impacts on the aircrafts performance, Missing animations like that whilst nice, dont really impact the game much.
The current Tornado Gr1 in my opinion, is barely, just barely an 11.3 aircraft. Once full finished, with all its capabilities correctly modelled, maybe with a small AAM buff, it could be an 11.7 worthy airframe. Thats just how much is missing from the aircraft currently, but there seems to be no desire to actually finish the aircraft

besides that the differences between IRIS T and ASRAAM, there is plenty of differences, just dont ask me about italian ones no idea about those
Pretty sure Italian ones just carry AMRAAM and ASRAAM
no meteor? sucks to be them
Just checked. they did their first test fires only a while ago for the meteor but they’re slowly getting them.
If GR.1s had their correct speed performance (with no inexplicable thrust loss), countermeasures that actually launch outwards (pretty dumb that they stay behind the aircraft), and AIM-9Li or AIM-9M it would actually be fun to play.

Yeah it doesn’t need a lot of love, just some.
It’s not even some - it’s as simple as modelling the few things it does have correctly (e.g the countermeasures pods that CLEARLY point outwards. they should be launching countermeasures outwards.)
Yeah, my current list of missing features for the Gr1 are:
- No chaff
- No ECM
- No ground radar
- No de-chirped rails
- Aim-9L/I (maybe)
- Thrust issues
- Missing slats
- CM launch angles
- Missing loadout options (ALARM, Sea Eagle, Paveway II, Cluster bombs and Cluster munitions)
So much that could be done, but no desire to do so apparently

Instead all the priority goes to new jets for the major nations…
Yep, Im hoping some of these features will now be worked on as part of the F-111 and we may see them in the future when they can be bothered to C&P them over to the Tornados
I’m more concerned that they’ll be forgotten, like the Lightning F.6 which still can’t perform it’s manual-directed interception climb or reach it’s top speed at altitude, or the SRAAM which just doesn’t work (meanwhile they fixed the thrust vectoring on the R73 within like a week)

yeah… SRAAMs are apparently being worked on, but last we heard was about 4 months ago and they still havent had a single bug fix applied to them
Don’t forget it took them until literally last update to fix the challenger 1’s armour layout (which has been publically available for decades)
Which I still dont think is correct
As far as any of the sources I have go, it is correct. I would expect it to resist 3BM22, but struggle against monolithic 3BM42.
u wont like that it seems that leopards got an armor buff then, apparently leoaprd turrets are volumetric now with 1000m armor at some points or sth like that
Well, that will get applied to the Challengers as they just C&P the armour from the Leopards
