Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Found my error, this would work for giving us a 12.3 bracket

Alternatively: Stormshadow - Apparently it can have an IR seeker. Or MMW seeker.

They could maybe justify that for Britain.

Id kill for Brimstone to have at bare minimum 0 drift IOG.

Would at least mean you could use them vs multiple static targets like battlefields in Sim. As it stands, yeah, GBU-39s will be WAY more effective for that

Even Kh 38s with the laser more effective.

Yeah…

I don’t know how good the iog on kh 38s are, but the payload probably limits how much of a problem the deviation is.

Pretty good I think. But would have to test it to be sure. at the very least, it doesnt disable itself when laser is turned off I think

Really makes you wonder why Brimstone’s in the state it is and that thing isn’t equally hacked to pieces.

Their argument for it is good, just hypocritical
Off the top off my head it would radar lock a target and fire, theres no IFF for ground vehicles and its range and lack of zoom (doesnt require a pod) means teamkilling would be quite easy.
doesnt stop Soviet players however from teamkilling with what they’ve got

You could argue to get closer but a pantsir is quite a good negotiator of airspace which the soviets conveniently dont have to face an equivalent

This is actually incorrect, and would only be the case if they didn’t bother to implement it properly. But if I argue this, someone will come in and be upset that I don’t kowtow

Their entire argument was BS except for the bit where it can see through smoke.

the whole TK thing is nonsense. At a mininum Mode 2 is LOBL from what I understand and mode 3 only works thanks to pre-programmed targets. Essentially IFF (or rather anti-IFF?)

Modern day i assume not, i havent exactly used a ground radar in games bc theres like 2 vehicles with it but from test driving the current state, there is no IFF

IR Kh 38 that can track you if you leave smoke, and iog into the smoke if you don’t:

The pantir has 12 missiles and 2 cannons. The tornado has (should have) 12 Brimstones and 2 PGM-500. Good luck to the pantir catching all of that.

Yeah, you have to stop, smoke, then move otherwise it just predicts where you should be

In game, yeah. But the ordnance should have a form of IFF, demonstrated by the fact they were salvoing it across active fields of conflict in Ukraine.

But if you leave the smoke too early or late, it will just reacquire you and smite you anyway lol

Me in my shit mobile that dies anyway bc its not fast enough to leave the area before the Kh strikes (Lvrbv 701)

Literally anything Swedish at this point. If they keep it up, we’ll soon rival challies in not being able to get anywhere in a reasonable time.

They most certainly couldve done this in a way thats mostly historical and safe but they chose not to
