OK so topping out at 1450 on 30mins fuel with 4x sidewinder (weird that semi recessed skyflashes have the same drag) but guess that roughly lines up. It still crawls up to that top speed far slower than anything else does in the last 100km/h or so but no sources for that I guess. Only definite thing is the instantaneous turn still being about ~2G off (~7-8G at 0.75M at SL 40% fuel instead of 9G at 60%) but that will hopefully be covered by the slat changes when it arrives.
Wish we had access to the F.3 ODM so we could get some proper acceleration figures.

In this upcoming update would you guys perfer a new aircraft or another tornado?
Maybe explained in the manuals, but do they have equivalents for with the fuel tanks? Most pictures I see of the tonka always have the fuel tanks.
not tornado or sea harrier, commonwealth aircraft is fine

I’m sure I’ve got some drag indexes for the F.2 with bags which would also apply 1:1 for the F.3. But will have to wait until after work.

You and me both mate. If one turns up be sure I’ll get my hands on it. Right now there is a pause on new Tornado docs until the Saudis/Germans/Italians pull their fingers out and retire the old girl.

Depends on the “new Aircraft”
(this is from the perspective of someone who only plays SB)
Sea Harrier FA2 would be an interesting aircraft to get, but would be another missile truck (though at least it would be able to defend itself in WVR)
Tornado F3 having BR appropriate weapons would mean its not instantly DOA.
but im also more than happy with mud moving at the moment. Just need some better aircraft for the job.
Tornado Gr1 being even 50% complete would be amazing
Tornado Gr4 would be hilarious to use
Harrier GR9A would be really interesting
So I’d have no issue with getting another Harrier or Tornado, but they just need to put effort into making sure its:
A) finished
B) competitive
After that, something like the Gripen could be intersting as a Psuedo Typhoon
But if its some random Indian aircraft, then I wont ever play it, no matter what. Even if its the most OP jet in the game by a country mile.

I doubt it, I take their confirmation that we are getting something as meaning for our TT. A C&P Tornado Gr1 that is premium is far from top tier, far from new and would probably kill the British community so badly that they might as well just delete the nation from the game
Yeah it really does.
Im not sure how I feel about Gripen C with only Aim-9Ms. (or aim-9Ls if they really really hate us)
It could be good, but I also seeing it a total pain in the butt in SB. So would really depend on its multirole. SA Gripens were mostly used for Ground attack, so at least it “should” have a decent loadout of ground attack weapons as well.
But if we do get ARH. Then I think personally I would prefer the Sea Harrier FA2. Or at least if we got both, It would be the one I farmed for first. It would also open the door for other aircraft at a higher BR than the Skyslugs allow for.
As for the Premium Tornado IDS though. My god, that is gunna be a powerhouse farmer in SB and I might consider actually getting that. Especially if we ever actually see the Tornados further completed
I hope SAAF JAS39C Gripen would be tech tree after F-4M Phantom FGR.2 at rank VIII
This topic isn’t for new addition speculation. Please shift that talk over to the UK speculation thread.

I personally think MiG-29K (9.31) from Indian Navy (IN) could be better Gripen C (PS-05/A Mk.3 radar)
But go to this thread
So the premium Tornado was not British XD
And it looks like it doesn’t even have a tgp
Correct its just a premium tornado without any guided ordanance and 9Ls

WTF? It’s just a Tornado without the GBU’s! Goddamn Gaijin’s really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
No guided weapons means 11.0 or lower (Dev hinted at it being lower than 11.0 in the RR thread)
That means for a farmer in SB it’s going to be truly OP
@Gunjob what do you know about prototype tornados, gromv said the br would be much lower the 10.7 , so best guess 10.0-10.3.
Besides it not being able to bomb because of F111A i just dont see how they can decrease the br of the tornado that much (without fixing all tornados br)
I don’t think a prototype tornado would be any different from what we have now. The only thing I can think of is max of 7 bombs without the duel racks for the bombs
But the reduction of bombs cant reduce the br that much can it?
