This is the basic flight display of the AV-8B, the elevation bar is the only thing correct at a quick glance.
Anyways this is the tornado thread so I won’t get too off topic

Ive been thinking for a while that Britain could really do with an “early” Tornado IDS. Something directly equal to the Torando WTD61, MFG, IDS in terms of BR, notably 10.0 in GRB, would be a lot of fun with our actually quite decent 10.3 ground lineup, but it would be kinda dull in terms of air, so I was wondering of ways to make it more interesting.
The best idea ive come up with so far, is actually making it a much lower BR that the others in ARB/ASB.
Move the Jaguar GR1A down (lets face it, its really really not 10.7 material these days) and then place a Tornado GR1 (early) with Aim-9Gs at 10.7/11.0. That oculd be quite unique and quite fun.
What is everyone’s thoughts on it?
- 10.7 (with 9Gs)
- 11.0 (with 9Gs)
- 11.3 (with 9Ls)
- Dont add at all

Just curious
Did the Gr.1 enter service before the 9L was widely adopted in raf service?

I dont know
But its at least listed in the weapons in this thread.
But just like how the Jaguar GR1A doesnt have 9Ls, I think a Tonka GR1 could be restricted similarly
I’m afraid because I suspect it wouldn’t get foldered, I don’t think it’d be a worthwhile addition. I wouldn’t really want to have a dumb bomb Tornado, unless it was 10.7 Ground (which I just can’t see happening) even with 9Gs.
the WTD61, MFG and IDS (Italy) with 9Ls are all 10.0 in GRB. (obviously it wouldnt have TIALD or any guided weapon, only Mk13s and Mk83s)
In ARB it would just be a usable Jaguar GR1A

This poor plane could be so fun but the BR prevents that.
I’m not sure if the Gr.1 entered service before the widescale rollout of 9L then I think It would be perfect.
Yeah it would be.
I dont think it necessarily matters

Could do but would need to be foldered with the Gr.1
Hmm… maybe, though the GR1 is going to be stupidly foldered below the F-111
Who knows. Anything beats having a SQD vehicle that’s exactly the same as the TT one…
As far as I understand, a Tornado IDS module is coming to DCS this year. I’m curious how much its flight model will differ from what we currently have in War Thunder.
Personally for the jaguar’s I say add a GR.3A w/ 9Ls at 11.0-11.3 or something akin to Jaguar-IS, and move GR.1A down a notch as is.

Being 9Ls vs Magic II, definetly not 11.3, even with the upgrades the GR3A brings over the IS and I dont think the Jaguar GR3A is on par with the Tornados. But 11.0 would be solid for them with the current levels of compression. But probably should be a little lower compared to some of what it would face at 117/12.0
I don’t really care if it’s competitive or not tbf, I’d just like to see GR.3A and other more niche sub variants of aircraft in general in game, GR.3A would at least allow F2P/Newer players have access to something akin to IS while not having to spend money.
Oh 100%, I really really want the GR3A too, but it should still be at a managable BR to actually play it. Though it would likely still be best suited to ASB using terrain masking tactics
Joke Take: On that day, it might be one of the reasons that I quit playing War Thunder.
Maaaybe, it might needs few extra though.
Well, their Eurofighter module is also coming out this year, if I understood correctly.
Tornado IDS (GB, DE, IT) missing SPICE 1000, and possibly also the 2000
