Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Going to be months on bug reports and push back from gaijin on terma because “lack of documents”

full coverage in X, +/-45 degrees in Y

It seems that PGM will need a buff. A big one.

Huh?

Their range is too short.

Bdw, let me show you guys something, that everyone want, and something that worked for me due to some kind of a bug.


40km sight stabilization.
Well, 37 at the moment of taking the screenshot.

So unless im totally confused it will have coverage something like this?

Spoiler

One pod gives full 360° azimuth coverage IIRC, but otherwise yes

So Azimuth would be the top view changing from a semi circle to a full circle minus what is blocked by the airframe?

Terms blindspot should mostly be in the forward hemisphere from above. It should have full coverage below, left, right, front and back. With it having coverage for the back from above as it it has a upward facing sensor mounted on the tail end of the terma pod

Though I might be looking at wrong terma pod

Doesn’t seem to be warning from even a third the region your diagram suggets it ought to.

The top image would be a full circle. I very much doubt Gaijin model the airframe blocking the sensors.

So there isnt really any reason to take 2 Pods if that is the case then?

The receivers are also at 0 and 180 degrees

Not unless you want more flares

If you want pure flares then yeah but otherwise

2x TERMA with a mix of flares and chaff = 240 flares and 240 chaff
1x TERMA with full flares + 1x BOZ = 268 Flares (with 28 LCM) and 600 large chaff

I guess its down to whether or not the airframe does block the sensor

Hopefully it gets the bol pods to but gaijin

That would be awesome. I do think it needs them and sets it up perfectly in the future if they ever fix BOL. But I can see there being an issue with 3x Flare/Chaff counts to select unless its bundled with the TERMA or they disable being able to select BOZ count

I’d assume they’d just add another selector. Wouldn’t exactly be hard from an implementation standpoint, unless they’ve some spectacularly bad software engineers.

You never know with bug thunder. Remember the first time they tried to introduce assymetrical CM counts, the Phimat pod caused CTDs.
