Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

So youd play a Tornado F3 with ASRAAM over a Typhoon F2 with ASRAAM?

I’d fly both, there is enough Gunjob to go around haha.

I want to enjoy the Tornado. The Gr1 is fine, but would be nice if they finished it at some point. The handicaps on that aircraft are insane. As for the F3. Vs Mig-29SMTs and F-16s, it just isnt fun. Its fine in ARB where once in a blue moon you are against F4s and Mig-23s, but in SB it can only see uptiers and with it’s placeholder HUD and the poor economy for pure A2A aircraft, its just a chore.

Co-pilot when?

That is a huge part of it in my opinion. The search modes on the radar are clearly designed for a co-pilot and it does feel like a major handicap at times. Its why no matter what we get next, im hoping its a single seater like the FA2, with any luck, it will have better search modes

I think we should get ala hmd in planes with co pilots. After all the joystick they have is not for nothing. Also in F4s (not F4S) co pilot has rwr

Yeah, they certainly need to do something, F-14s too.

@Gunjob sorry for the ping, but do you have any idea if something like this is considered?

WSO in back seat? Not a clue.

On playstation i think you can kind of do this if you set up a keybinds for pilot and WSO and then share play and allow them to play with you. If it does work it would be like a handicapped WSO but still fun.

Ok so here i go
@Smin1080p do you have any idea if planes that have a co pilot/WSO, and that pilot have a joystick or something that allows for control of radar/missile seeker (Tornado F.3, F4s, F14s), will get something simmilar to HMD?

Currently there are no plans for this. It would not be the same as HMD or the benefits that offers.

Yea i know. It would not provide he HMD overlay. The least it would do is allow for radar locking simmilar to HMD locking we have in game, but at full lenght. But knowing how it is around, it will probably not follow the mouse, but would be movable using keybinds.

Wouldn’t it just be what disabling the automatic target cycling does already?

Well yes, but not. It would be something ilke a HMD


That thing, but you are not locked to 9km (in provided on picture f16 range as a example), whole radar range
and if not then yes.

So you could pick a specific target within the radar display.

Well not, you either have a HMD mouse aimed thing, something very simmilar to what cycling switched off does now, but you see the square, or nothing
