It was a Tornado F.2A (specifically the TIARA), not an F.3. so no.
I did have a suggestion to add the TIARA as a separate aircraft though on the old forum.

Tornado IDS has an extremely capable radar at the moment, going to be great when they add Subs 😜
But man, shame sea eagles were retired before the GR4 entered service. That would be a fun combo

Bucc does the same so i think its generally air to sea radars
@Gunjob
Is the Tornado loosing 99% of its pitch authority whenver its elevators take any kind of damage correct correct?
Just seems like the Tornados’s damage model is incredible fragile compared to most. In various other aircraft it would certainly affect handling, but only in the Tornado does practically render the aircraft unflyable, even relatively minor damage.
and its not the only area, I’ve had the fuselage go yellow before and loose all ability to go above about mach 0.9

i think this is a general sweepwing aircraft issue
mig23 gets really funky with damage as well

I hope alarm gets the loitering parachute

As do I, but I doubt it will. Probably a game limitation
Just praying we arent artifiicially limited to belly only or something stupid like that

Would probably be hard for them to model but aircraft get parachutes that are effective so hopefully they can copy some of that code over.
I just noticed the tornados won’t sweep their wings back in the hangar like f-14 or mig-23 do :(
Might be a bit of a headache to model but its not really any different to para-ret bombs. They just need to figure out how to loft it to LEO before deploying the chute.
There was a brief overlap of about 3 years, though I think it was only ever cleared on the GR.1B?
First GR.4 delivered in 1997, Sea Eagle retired in 2000.
Now, don’t mind me laughing manically in the corner at the thought of lobbing a few Storm Shadows or a dozen Brimstones.
Officially retired, yes, but any actually left in service is another question. I know that when the Sea Harrier FA2 entered service in 1993, there was only 3 left. Id assume by the time of 1997. That number had probably gone down.
These fits are definetly gunna be fun

Was that 3x rounds left in RN/FAA stocks, or total?
I’m sure I saw Tornados at Lossie carrying them latter than that.
I have no idea.
Couldn’t have been 3. They had to do a ton of work with them in the FA.2 program. Even a few launches and even more carriage and handling trials.

That is a very alarming picture

Its going to be really fun, though not looking forward to it being like 12.7 in GRB for “balance”
I’ve heard enough.
First 14.0 ground BR
with ALARM i’m fine with that
