Her top speed with 4 SW @19kkg is M1.18 without combat thrust, which is/was achievable in game.

on min fuel with clean wings it will peak at 1484kph in a strait line, but getting there takes longer than most other jets and stuff like the MLD will have not trouble catching you? Unless the combat thrust turns it into a rocket like the mig21 and its magical 2 stage burner, In that case its a shame we don’t have that ingame.

Where does that image come from? Presumably some sort of video?
It’s hard to tell from that angle, but it may be some form of ACMI / AIS pod:

Couldn’t this also just be an ASRAAM dummy (a bad one )at that?
It might be the same thing this EF.3 carrier on the outer pylon (nvm that’s a phimat pod to pointy)

Will never not be eternally envious he got to ride in a F.3

Still no HUD fixes (missing target tadpole when off HUD, missing target highlighting unless weapon locking). Therefore F3 still a massive pain in sim.
Sad times.

2 questions:
First off,
What are those missiles above the fuel tanks? Doesn’t look like Aim-9 or ASRAAM. Looks more like ALARM
and assuming that is a Tornado Gr4 and those are AAMs, does this mean a possibility of one in the future with 4x AAMs instead of just 2?
Secondly, has anything further been said on this? It’s about time the IDS actually got even a partial radar, I was expecting it to come with the F-111 but even its missing a ground radar (I think). Though I suppose now the devs have a reason to develop a ground radar mechanic, now we’ve got the F-111 and then it can just be C&P over after the F-111 has it.
Isn’t it already implemented with the Su-39’s radar pod?
I think the first Aircraft that could have had a MTI mode is technically the A-4E, though the A-6, A-7, and AV-8B+ definitely had the capability it seems strange that a number of aircraft have been added since the mechanic was implemented and yet haven’t had it conferred or otherwise modeled(outside the X-Ray view).
Yeah, but I have no idea how good it is and I dont think its quite the same kind of ground radar right?
ALARM
The ALARM stub pylons and ejectors weren’t the same as the sidewinder/ASRAAM stubs and rails. GR.1/GR.4 didn’t carry more than 1 (inboard) sidewinder/ASRAAM per wing, and Tornado “EF.3” didn’t carry ALARM on the wings - So there’s little to infer that the two kinds of stubs had common wiring and integration that would make AAMs and ARMs interchangeable.
Both Tornado GR.1 and GR.4 could carry 9x ALARM: 3 on each wing pylon if fuel tanks weren’t carried, and 1 on each of the 3 belly hardpoints. So the GR.4 doesn’t present an additional capability in this regard.
Other than the ACM rework for ARI 23274 I’ve not heard anything since.
They are ALARM
They are ALARM, they have dedicated pylons so I don’t think so.
I was wrong haha.

Gotcha
The pylons are different too. You can see that the outboard ALARM pylon is completely different to the inboard Sidewinder pylon:
Also the inboard ALARM pylon appears to be horizontal, while the inboard Sidewinder pylon you see above is angled down:

Damn could’ve sworn it was the same stub, my bad.
