I think were all forgetting the good old dumb bomb, imagine drifting over a pantsir dropping a 1000lbs bomb on his radome… and goddamn, i did not expect 40 aoa. Would actually give merit to the pilot who said he could somewhat keep up with the f14 but only for a turn or two before you fall out the sky, in the end they gave up and just tried to get as slow as possible due to the more control over the sweep angle just to see the f14 to his side laughing.

AoA limiter is still in place currently, so cant mess about with that yet
Isnt the Tornado F3 also meant to have NCTR?
No, it was planned to replace Fox Hunter with Blue Vixen and then they’d both get NCTR, but in the end Fox Hunter wasn’t swapped and Blue Vixen didn’t get the upgrade for NCTR either. It was introduced into British service with CAPTOR-M.
Ah, damn, thought I recalled something for ages ago, but that would probably be it.
Thank you
I think you’ve already lost in a tornado if you find yourself needing to turn lol

Smin, the radar and missile only works on boat :(
I was testing the Tornado GR.1 since the Tornado series of vehicles peaked my interest again and noticed that the TIALD targeting pod has a weird and broken animation, the video speaks for itself - posting here since I cba to bug report lol.
A lot of targeting pods and their animation are currently broken, we honestly need a general overhaul of all targeting pods in-game and including animation for them, if anyone can be asked then please a submit a bug report on what I’ve provided
TIALD is animated?

Apparently so and the animation for the TIALD is apparently broken as well.
TIALD is broken. Period.
Still waiting for it to be upgraded to gen 2
Now when did they start doing animations for targeting pods?
Quite a while ago, I remember testing the J-10A when it first came out back in 2024 and it also had a broken targeting pod. People usually don’t realise since the animation only takes place when you use it, the TIALD as you seen also acts very funny thanks to said broken animation.

I’d like to mention that the Tornado GR.1 still sits at 11.7 in ARB whilst being entirely worse than the Tornado IDS WTD61 which itself sits at 11.3. The recently introduced F-5A(G) which is basically just a F-5E but with AIM-9Ls also sits at 11.0 whilst being a far more competitive ARB platform.
We need a serious BR decrease for the Tornado GR.1 and this probably won’t happen if we as a community don’t complain enough - I was thinking moving it down to 11.3/11.0 or giving it AIM-9Ms and keeping it 11.7.

It’s probably due to PGM
Ground ordinance isn’t a factor for the BR placement of aircraft in ARB (air realistic battles) anymore and this has been a thing ever since GRB and ARB has been split battle rating wise - the GR.1 has no right being 11.7, it shouldn’t face the F/A-18C whatsoever lmao.

It almost certainly needs to recieve both Mk103 engines and an 11.3 BR.
Whether or not they should all drop below 11.3 is… difficult and im largely on the fence. Especially when perhaps other buffs would be better suited to keep it at 11.3 (such a Sky Shadow) (if combined with the F-18 going to 12.7, then this eliminates much of the uptier problem)
If it is to remain at 11.7, then yes, Buffs certainly need to be considered, whether Aim-9M is too much could be hotley debated but the GR1 could certainly receive BOL which might be more than enough for it to remain at 11.7.
But first things first is to get the Mk103 engines for it as their excuses for it are laughable, especially when no one else has such nerfs

It had the higher BR long before PGMs were added, for some strange reason gaijin has always placed the Tpod equipped Tornados higher than the non-tpod equivalent (back then, it was just the MFG without and it was always slightly lower BR)
Even if they considered PGMs so superior, doesnt explain Italys equivalent the IDS (1995) from also being 11.7, out of the 3 its the weakest in terms of A2G loadout
