Hello. I made a suggestion to create and add ground mapping radar modes to airborne radars and I’m currently searching aircrafts that had such capability as producing radar imagery. I haven’t had any luck in finding this info on my own about the Tornado. Someone here has some info about its radar? Specially if it had surface mapping radar modes? It would a little strange to have a SRC mode that detects stationary and moving ships without any surface mapping modes.

The gr1 with a full set of pgms, if you do a 40 degree turn at mach 1 you lose just over half your speed
Just don’t make a 40° turn. Simply fly into the missile.
When death is inevitable as it is in the tornado, its better just to accept it than struggle😅
At least you CAN notch now though. Missile jousting with F3 AOP before the change was basically impossible, if a missile was shot at you within ~20km you would be very lucky to survive it unless you could multipath.

Tornado F.3 Op Granby: Tonka goes to war
After the updated fm killed any kind of speed advantage the Nados had I’d vote to give the F.3s we already have the mk106.
No one wants another f.3 late that’s at a too high br because it carries good missiles. If gaijin even considered adding this it would likely sit at 12.7 for “balance” because 9M. The jaguars and etendard got Phimat pods but not the nados.
Gaijin seem fine with artificially gimping British aircraft to some extent to fill what are always double stand balance rules, the gr1 is an amalgamation of different modifications never used on a singular aircraft and has a weaker engine for no reason apart to get you to grind the gr4. the FGR2 could easily get the 9L and stay at 12.0 which it will see su-33s.
I see no reason to go the other way and add the 106 to help the F.3 out. Again if the gr.1 can have weaker engines then it’s no issue doing the opposite for the F.3. Especially since the FM change was supposed to make it more realistic not less.
It’s not really needed because of the PGMs, but now that it’s in game, the AGM-130 could be added to the GR.1.

And FnF Brimstones.
And Mk 103 engines
And… Litening 3?
Also a radar would be nice
Will it be the IR AGM130 on the F-111F?

Has there been any word on Skyflash SuperTEMPS getting the LSZ modeled? Was playing the Tornado F3 in Sim the other day and remembered its missing.

It seems EF2000 might be a better CAS platform than Tonka,
but IMO, Tonka is more attractive. Thanks for the video.

I wish there will be more updated Tornado variants, but not too many!
