I dont see any issues with having ASRAAM at 11.3. Definetly time for a bug report :P
not op at all :)
@Morvran What stops the Tornado from being maneuverable? Wasn’t the point of swing wing to be effective in CQC and High/Fast Combat? I know it’s an attack aircraft but it feels really bad rn.
With regard to ingame. Its FM is essentially an unfinished placeholder that is underperforming in terms of ITR, but slightly overperforming in STR iirc. But its also got too much drag and so isnt as fast as it should be. (engines too should have an extra thrust setting)
As for it not being an exceptional dogfighter IRL. Im not sure, I think largely because it was designed with low alt interdiction in mind, not high alt interception. The engines werent optimised iirc for higher alts and so it struggled with gaining and maintain speed when up high. Needed full afterburner to keep up with a Sea Harrier at 30k ft iirc. Its entire design was based around sitting at 300ft in all weather.
Variable geometry wing just means it was able to get airbourne with a bigger bomb load and still enable higher speeds. I think.

On a Tornado GR.1 and 2 of them?
Nah not really Tonka is an overtiered boat.
Yes and yes. Yeah, I think its reasonable for the BR :P
This is quite an interesting air display video of a GR.1

Let’s also not forget that combat thrust is a vague term, and as an example the viggens use their third or maximum afterburner stage in game
I still wonder when Tornado GR.4 and Tornado F.3/Late will receive BOL therapy in the modification menu, just like Typhoon FGR.4 does.
Unlocking two~three modifications for full CW potential feels bullshit.
Chaff->BOL
Chaff->BOL->MAW
Especially when Tonka ADV can access 32LCM only on stock.

Coughs in a10c with 9m’s at 11.3…
I think the ASRAAM is just a bit better than the 9M lol

A-10C’s 11.7
ive been told that so many times now i have no clue how i dont remember it… also, im being sarcastic (kinda, still should be higher) about the 9m being equivalent to the asraam lol.
Especially when they put jets like the f104 asa at 12.0 cuz “reasons” while the a10c can sit at 11.7 because its slow? it can dog fight most things because its slow and now it has hmd with 9ms…

And most things can in fact out run and out climb it so how is it supposed to even intercept anything, in the CAP role?
Dunno if you guys care but heres 1 tornado scorted by 2 f35s from the 6th flock from ghedi, the red devils of the aeronautica militare italiana
