Still large on the dev server. But yeah, thought it was 320 large or 600 standard but not going to tell them that. GR1 with 1200 large calibre chaff is really funny
Thats 1200 seconds (20 minutes lol) of constant chaff, i would like to see a pantsir even try and hit me.
Unfortunately, doesnt impact the IRST, but apparently flares work quite well for that. Im hoping in GRB (if I bother to try and use it in GRB) that 1x MAWS will have good enough coverage to allow for 1x BOZ to still be run then you can just drop a mass of flares and chaff and have MAWS to warn you of a launch that your RWR cant detect.
is the hms display on the tornado just the basic bluefor display or did it get its historical crosshair
There you go, I suck at maintaining the lock, especially with mouse aim (more use to doing it with HOTAS, but CBA to set that up). But I think might work well in hit and run strafes.
Along with bol, it should make for a pretty cool fireworks show.
Yep, BOL Defo needed. GR1… They maybe have an excuse. But GR4, none at all.
Wow, im sorry to say but that has disheartened me a little. They take an absolute age to hit the target, there is no way they can stay laser guided if it takes that long for them to hit (if they do with 60 second flight time).
Yep. They are going to be nearly pointless to run as I had hoped which is as a convoy-killer in Sim. The ePaveways are going to be decent valuable vs battlefields, though going to take finesse to do from the cockpit without the third person CCIP reticle. But yeah, Brimstones are going to be a very niche take at the moment, at least in this current state. If they are much faster (double their current speed) then they would be more usable, but still need at least 3 passes to fire off all 9 vs a convoy I reckon and at 12.7, that is a lot of time loitering deep in enemy territory with Mig-29s Hunting you.
If they dont want to give us fnf how about just “gps” which could be see as really good ins or whatever you call it. Would allow for ripple fire but wouldn’t be all that powerful, could then be used against the battles instead of convoys. Have you checked how good the guidance is without using the laser?
No I havent yet, let me try that. and yes I agree. GPS should be the minimum would put us on par with the GPS spam that hte Su-34 and F-15E have
It appears to be identical to the Hellfire. As in, the IOG doesnt work… At all

Wow they really do take 2-3 business days to arrive.
If there are no SAMs they look great.
is the Tornado Gr4 meant to have BOZ rails for the 9Ls / 9Ms?
Gaijin being buffoon again
No, how would you even do that? BOL yes
oop my bad I meant BOL, also I have no idea what the RWR means now it has 2 separate circles
also MAWS seems might be bugged doesnt seem to activate sometimes unless the missile is within 2kms
From a bit of testing myself, it seems you wont be able to kill more then 2 targets in a pass with the brimstones due to their poor flight performance, the missiles wont hit a target beyond 14km if you are at low altitude meaning you will be in the range of pantsirs at all times, they also have a tendency to need 2 to 3 missiles to kill MBTs from the front in the test flight.
over all I think they wont be that great without a dumbed down FnF mode and the call is probably picking 4 PGM 500s or a mix of PGMs and Paveway 4s
I love having to use 10.7 level ordinance on my top tier strike aircraft.
Sadly as we all feared the GR.4 should have come out months/years before the F-15E and Su-34.
These simply outclass any dedicated CAS aircraft with their wealth of Air to Air and Air to ground options.
Its sad but not like we all didnt see this coming
