[DevilO6]

Yea i just realised the white covers at the back of the bombs. Now that i looked for them i noticed them.

[DevilO6]

Soo, as of now we leave SALH PGMs alone, right?

@x_Shini_

could we stop looking at nice toys german tornados wont get

Jokes aside

Man i hope brimstone typhoons arrive soon lol.

German tornados lacking any kind of stand off weaponry makes it realy hard, our best option would be glide bombs, which effectiveness is sketchy and questionable if they will even be implemented

Or Taurus /Storm Shadows but thats a whole other issue

@Godvana

For Gaijin the possibility of the PGM sitting next to an Italian Tornado at an air show was enough to get it added. Wasn’t even attached to the pylon.

but they didnt add it to the italian ones because it wasnt enough didnt they

New Tornado IDS for Italy, Yeah I’m looking forward Tornado A200C for itaty tech tree someday. but not sure located after Tornado IDS (1995) or AV-8B Plus.

[Gunjob]

I went through hundreds of airshow pictures to confirm it haha.

[oom1992]

I might believe guided Air-to-Ground munitions on Tornado A200C MLU from Aeronautica Militare Italiana (AMI) equivalent Tornado GR.4 (RAF) and Tornado IDS 3.1 & Tornado IDS SLE (Luftwaffe) except within visual range (WVR) IR AAM

The IIR seeker on Storm Shadow is behind an opaque windshield,

IIRC the windshield is jettisoned on terminal approach to expose the seeker

[Il_Signor_Regio]

It was mainly due to a mistake of One member of the Italian community

Update on the combat power for F.3/ADV, after discussing it with the devs the answer is “Not now but maybe in the future”.

[Fireball_2020]

Remember the installed combat there appears to be 16,500lbf

[Morvran]

So the Mig-21 doesnt need a nerf bug report?

[Fireball_2020]

And when the sustained turn gets nerfed, maybe we’ll have a reason to ask for the MK106 engine…

[Morvran]

Yep, good luck. Italy would probably be fine without, but its mostly Germany that needs it. Im kinda surprised they didnt just get it for “gameplay balancing” reasons

[Gunjob]

16500lbf in the source is without combat and the 5% is on top of that.

Spoiler

[Fireball_2020]

Tactics manual gives 16,500lbf for combat thrust… which can only be installed given its smaller…

[Gunjob]

Might be getting my numbers mixed up then, it’s been a long day. In game it’s 7300kgf combat would be 5% on top of that.
