But the reduction of bombs cant reduce the br that much can it?
It Will only allow you to destroy one base instead of two but the IDS premium has the 12x mk 83’s.
You are saying that like it is possible to destroy 2 bases normaly in the first place lol
More EC maps would definitely alleviate most of the bomber problems
Or just add in the 30s base respawn again, which apparently was a “bug”
It’s a development/test airframe to my knowledge so that could mean anything from the basic dumb bomb loadouts to more exotic weapons. But if Grom is aiming for 10.7-11.0 then I’d expect just the basic dumb bombs.

Its only basic bombs problem is grom is aiming for a br of 10.0-10.3 thats what confuses us
Hmm sounds like it will be a basic Tornado then, given the store page isn’t mentioning anything about smart weapons. Decent base bomber but not a replacement for the Assta me thinks.
Definitly not, but generaly even if only dumb bombs if they reduce the br of the tornado to 10.0 or 10.3. All tornados should see a br reduction. If definitly at least the MFG, if the only difference is the bomb load. In the first place you rarely get to bomb more then 2 bases
We guess in the future gaijin might consider add aircraft premium pre-order pack rank VII Tornado without guided Air-to-Ground armament for british & Italian tech tree ?
Yeah, if supersonic + 2x 9Ls at 10.3. then any remaining excuse for the other Tornados to be 11.3 is deleted as well, and Jaguar can finally get 9Ls too.

Looks like the most OP SB farmer. This thing will print SLs faster than any other aircraft in game I reckon.
(Especially if it’s as low as 10.3)
I i just want italian and german tornados to get some love, uk pnes might be stuck, pgm + BOL rails in the future is a pretty big upgrade over the standard ones
The model renders all show it with dual racks. So it should have the same bomb load as any other Tornado
Lord knows what is supposed to make it lower BR than the MFG IDS. Kormorans are a non-entity currently
BOLs would be a major upgrade. Especially as they seem to have 0 interest in ever adding the chaff count.
But PGMs are totally worthless and Italy and Germany both have gen 2 tpods. We have a buggy gen 1.
(Smin just confirmed, no work has been done on the chaff count issue, so we can’t even hope for that this update)

I wouldn’t say zero interest. It likely requires a pretty hefty overhaul of the countermeasures code. Just like the RWR rework wasn’t a case of fix it for one airframe.
Would also be a nerf for the F-4’s (excluding the S/J/J(UK).) Which have fixed CM dispensers. They should only carry 30 flares and 60 chaff. As they aren’t interchangeable like the standard ALE-40s. Pretty sure @Flame2512 had a report in for this.
Though the fact they won’t even consider increasing CM count to 112 and locking the tornado to mixed only as a stopgap is just insane to me. The fact after what? A year+ the tornado, plus any dev time, plus this being a requested feature for years. Tells me they aren’t working on it that hard.
But at least if we do get a tornado IDS at 10.7 or lower (been confirmed by Devs it will never see F16s)
Then we have a hope for a BR drop for all the other Tornados too.
Please for the love of god tell me the BOL pods are coming soon, otherwise the tornado Gr1 will be completely doa soon.

That could mean an increase in the max BR
I agree, I also suggested a few bodges, but I also understand the want to not make it more wrong than it already is.
What about a 2 pod system? One has the 56 flares and the other has the 1200 Chaff’s.
