Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

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

Harrier Gr.3 with shrike

What br do you think that’ll be.

@Gunjob

Im not sure if it was you or another BRM but can you provide some further explanation into this “solution” to fix this issue

AGMs (like the PGM and Brimstone) are being counted as rockets and are automatically switching the cockpit sight mode to “rocket” mode despite the fact that there is no symbology for this. The reports intent was to have this mode removed entirely from the HUD so that when selecting PGM or Brimstone, the sight mode would remain in “standard” instead the solution has been to add the completely worthless rocket sight mode to the list of modes you can cycle through.

Can the rocket sight mode be entirely removed or do you have any documentation that would enable this mode to actually serve an objective purpose to exisitng

No, not that I can see.

No, I don’t have a GR.4 weapons manual nor do I have a “late” GR.1 weapons manual that would contain this kind of symbology.

Also when I do eventually get a GR.4 weapons manual after the last nation retires the Tornado, I suspect the Brimstone elements will be redacted.

Hmm, thank you, its such a wierd decision to have rocket sight mode for AGMs without known symbology to justify it

Likely a game limit when you have specific weapons attached in specific categories.

Yeah, but it must have been relatviely recent change, I dont recall it being a thing until just before I submitted the report. For any aircraft

Not sure, I swear its done this since the dev server where GR4 turned up.

Hmm… I dont recall, but I definetly dont remember it doing it on the GR1 prior at least, nor on the GR7 with the AGM-65s. Actually didnt realise it even did until I gave it a quick test with the GR7 this morning to see if it was an AGM thing now or a wierd Tornado only thing

It prolly has symbology for the PGM and Brimstone.

The harrier 2 has a square box that appears showing the seeker zone of the mavericks and a square or circle marker that appears in the hud on what the seeker head is locked too. As well as ranging in/out range iirc.

The square box moves to relate to what the TV is capable of seeing in its FOV.

I would assume the tornado has something similar.

Is that actually even modeled for the Harriers at the moment ?

No, the harrier 2 hud is 100% incorrect.

Take the F-18 early into test flight and mark a SPI point the hud will tell you range and bearing to the marker. It’ll also give you an arrow and a side of hud flash “hey man the targets over there”

Harrier is almost identical.

However the AV-8B and Gr.7/8 HUDs are slightly different.

Harrier 2 (USA) should almost be a copy of the F-18

Bold claim. The flight symbology is correct. Uses few old elements mixed with new, but 100% incorrect is bollocks.

Bold claim the standard hud mode is the VSTOL mode and is missing the vertical speed scale on the right.

So literally the most basic display is incorrect and incomplete.

The flight path marker is also wrong.

You said 100% incorrect, its missing some elements yes, but 100% incorrect… no. You don’t need to lie or over exaggerate. Calm yourself down.
