It is a little interesting that they didnt take the Harrier solution to the Tornado new FM and just give it more thrust than it may have had IRL to match its IRL flat line speed. Its surprising that has such an impact on the rest of the FM.
Though I guess the hope is that if/when we get combat thrust. It will be slightly overtuned to make the up the difference lost with this new FM
Tech mod leaking 2025 april fools event on the forum, not nice…
That actually sounds like fun. Really good gliders with guns, that are dropped at 100k ft (no reduced atmosphere) or something and you have to dogfight as you fall :D
The other angle is also really good
But yes, if I was given a choice tomorrow between 100% fully modeled Brimstones on the Tornado Gr4 and the Typhoon with current top tier AAMs…
Tornado Gr4 would win every single time. Not by much, but would win
I’d take a harrier with brimstone over the Gr 4 but if it was Gr4 or eft, I’d take Gr4.
Blasphemer, Tornado anyday. The only harriers we need are more sea harriers, or the gr 9 i guess…
Tornado’s cool and all. But harrier.
Its a tough call.
If choosing between Harrier Gr9A with Brimstones or Tornado Gr4 with Brimstones
The Harrier can actually fend for itself if attacked and things like STOVL in sim can be really fun. But… to employ those weapons, especially in sim and assuming even a slightly high BR like 12.7 like the Gr7 is at, it is really hard to disengage. Ive found that in both the Gr7 and FA2, if I over-extend even slightly, even if I get a load of kills, there is a good chance something like a Mig-29 would have time to respawn, take off and gotten back to where I am before im even half way home.
At least in the Tornado Gr4 I can sneak in, unload my weapons and be out of the AO before most even know im there.
So that would edge the Gr4 out ahead of the Gr9A, at least for me in Sim.
Tornado also has an edge in that it can have the whole gamut of Brimstone variants, not just the original MMW one.
And also a ground radar to slew the missiles to.
I saw one of your other videos and I was coincidentally working on one (very) similar when you uploaded :)
Incredibly based and Tornado pilled.
F.3 late has to be one of the worst stock planes I have ever flown.
I’ve got faith you can power through mate haha.
Apparently unlocking and quipping BOL’s does not give the additonal countermeasures untill you unlock the additional AIM-9L
Its cursed enough that the BR should probably go down to 13.0 unless it gets better missiles.
Skippable until they add the Eurofighter IMO
I just started it (well… I’ve done 1x ARB match and I cant bring myself to play it in ASB at the moment)
But yeah, gunna take a while to spade it.
Yeah it’s horrific, I tried to stock grind it and it’s just awful. I think I might actually just GE it to a usable state. It should be covered in the anniversary sale so it shouldn’t cost me much
