If they would give me the chaff we are meant to have I would be sitting at the edge of space in it and bombing bases.
Yeah, had that a number of times last night. SRAAMs have better flare resistance at times
Yep, even the 2x BOL would be enough to make a massive difference to the Tornado. But the full missing 1200 chaff from the Boz or 600 chaff and Sky Shadow. You could actually be really hard to kill
Just activate flare release and focus on bombing, what a dream. Shame it will never come to pass.
Unfortunately, probably not. Well, not until soviets get the Su24 or something at which point. Just like spall liners. It will be instantly fixed
Gunjob could you take a look at the linked comment, he linked multiple pictures of the WTD being able to carry GBUS, in the first place the WTD ( Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Luftfahrzeuge und Luftfahrtgerät der Bundeswehr ,Military technical department for aircraft and aviation equipment of the Bundeswehr)
branch is the testing branch for german tornados and would have tested the newest armaments . There is even 2 pictures that i will post here as well which literaly are the same skin as the one in game with targeting pod and gbus

Got a bug report for the Tornado (I think)
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/ee7L7OVAkjYs
Last few days i’ve had the Su-27 ping as M29 on the RWR. I think this was/is the same in the Gripen, but would need to go do a match to confirm. But in the meantime, defo on the Tornado Gr1 with game log attached
My interpretation was not that the WTD couldnt be equipped with guided weapons but that Gaijin specifically chose to add a Premium Tornado that lacked guided weapons. Why? I have no idea, it would have been an ideal premium CAS and probably would have sold quite well. If the WTD does turn out to not have the ability to carry any guided weapons at all, then its strange they chose to add it in the first place. Unlike Italy and Britain with a more limited pool of Tornados to chose from, Germany had quite a few.
left those out from posting here, because they dont show the exact same tornado and gajin is gonna deny it for that reason because it is a different one
im pretty sure gaijin did zero research on what the WTD61 is and what they actually do…

fair, but you also have a pic of the tornado with an IRIS-T on the wing :D
still looks like the same tornado as in the game to me xD In the first place IRIS-T is aim 9l rail compatible, it is reasonable that they tested it with an older model
Yeah, at a minimum it could recieve a greatly increased set of unguided weapons. Like the other Tornados, CBUs were probably a major part of its arsenal, whilst guided weapons were a later addition, especially after Desert Storm and so some might lack this capability. (That doesnt also factor in the fact that all Tornados are lacking a great deal of their defensive capabilities)
The WTD even without guided weapons could be made into an effective CAS aircraft, but in its current state it only appeals to those who play SB (I myself am semi-interested in it, because it would be one hell of an SL farmer for SB, as guided weapons are rarely of use and the lower BR is handy)
speaking of… gaijin… where is my MW-1?

Precisely. Whilst i’d hate for that to be locked behind a pay-wall. Its inclusion on both German Tornados (I could maybe see the MFG not getting it) would greatly enhance the aircrafts appeal

Su-27 pings as MiG29 because its radar currently is copy of MiG29 radar
Ah, that would explain it.
Not even Russian bias can stop whatever the hell happened to this update.

Just got killed in a head on joust by a Mig 23 because my radar was somehow unable to lock a fully front aspect Mig 23 from 10KM RANGE AGAINST CLEAR SKY.
bruh, because missing 2G of instantaneous pull wasn’t enough already…
