Just love GR1 from being worst tornado variant in the game due to engine to one of the best because of weaponry (still missing ALARM)
That certainly seems to be the same photo. Nice find.
It’s the first time I’ve seen any indication that a GBU-15 was fitted to a US F-16A/B ( and a Block 1 / FSB at that due to the Black Radome) I know that a Block -40 was tested, and that they were used by the Israeli’s.
It might be worth reporting, though may well sit there for a while like my GPU-5/A report(Report is now hidden / link broken), that is still yet to be actioned even though it was submitted (and accepted) back when the F-16 was introduced onto the dev server[Apex Predators, ~December, 2022] though I still need to do one up for the;
- AN/AVG-8B (VTAS III) & AIM-95 (Agile)
- AGM-45 & AGM-78
- VIPER EYE FLIR, that the A-16 mounted
After all if the Yak-141 can get proposed design features that never actually materialized why not others in order to allow them to remain relevant.
The main points of difference between the GBU-8 / -9 & GBU-15 and why they would be worth implementing, are
- The options for the BLU-109 (1000lb AP warhead, which may become relevant when bomb penetration is reworked, and considering the sheer number of permutations of the various modular kits things are going to be interesting seeing how they deal with the issue a the custom loadouts probably aren’t quite ready for that magnitude of options), and dispenser payloads to be taken in pace of the 2000lb GPHE warhead.
- The IIR seeker options(the KMU-359/B & WGU-10/B respectively) for both aren’t implemented.
- The PWW(AGM-112 / GBU-20) kit likely won’t be added since it never saw service, and would be better suited to a high altitude release platform like the B-52.
- The Datalink / Post release control hasn’t been implemented yet, even though the (US) F-4E should be able to use it.
- The EGBU-15 & AGM-130 subvariants are effectively duplicated counterparts to the AGM-62 ERDL and AGM-84E used by Navy Airframes so would likely wait for their implementation in the A-6E / A-7E & F/A-18 before being fitted to higher performance airframes like the F-111F and F-15E.

ADV goes up to 11.7 in sim
I was afraid of that. Will they ever learn to listen to the community.
Gr1 is not moving, should be joining MFG at 11.0 in SB
Changes can be found here;
Only IDS/GR1 that’s moving is the Tornado IDS ASSTA1 in sim down to 11.3.
Thank you, yeah i managed to find it. None of the changes the community actually wanted are happening except the ASSTA
Was hoping the F3 would go to 11.3 for sim to match the ADV and its RB BR. Not the other way around. Oh well.
Theyd never do something nice for britain. Oh well, i gave up with thr F3. Lofting helped, but you still cant go toe to toe with an F-16 or Mig29 and thats all you face. Time to wait for AMRAAM

there is a possibility to come the aim-7P block I? To the f-14B or may in the future an f-14D?, because we are closer to the flanker stuff that has 10 r-27er with ins+dl+sarh stuff, the aim-7P has a similar capacity, but the f-14b could use 6 aim-7p
Flanker can carry only 6 er
Where does 10 come from?
Hawks and maybe a few commonwealth vehicles such as the atlas cheetah or some f16’s or f18’s?
or hell maybe even the gnats or jet provost for some older jets at like 8.3-9.0

Someone here posted Active Skyflash pictures on a Hawk earlier. Seems like Tornado F3 could get Active Skyflash? It also hints to me that it used a MICA EM seeker, with how the seeker has the same gimbal limits and made by the same manufacturer.
Just easier to give AMRAAM
Or Micas themselves
Spoiler
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Judging by this picture, it seems like there were at least two versions
Spoiler
Could be the angle tho
Where is this
