Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Thank you Gunjob for the updates on these issues. Please know my frustration is not with you (or Flame and the many others) as you’ve done some sterling work already <3

Especially the Dual Mode variants, as they can be laser guided

Pls someone could pass to me the datamines with all missile drag coeficient numbers? I want to know the coeficient drag of skyflash super temp and aim7F and others ones.
And i have a question? What mean wing area multipllier? What it do in missile performance?

Is there any update on when the slats and general wing will be fixed? Don’t think there have been any updates on it for a while after the devs said they were looking at it and it’s getting rather tiring flying such a bus.
Also looking at the preview for the DCS F-15E has got me thinking as to whether or not the Tornado ever got a synthetic aperture radar mode or other high resolution ground mapping mode? Seems like it would be quite essential for the all weather operation of a strike aircraft which supposedly couldn’t lock on to individual vehicles with its ground mapping radar.

The current FM has the same lift in both 45 & 25 degree sweeps as if the slats were deployed. So presently it is about as good as its going to get.

The slats fix is still to come but the FM won’t improve past what it is now for the most part.

The FM is wrong then, I updated my report, it’s still seriously underperforming at lower speeds.

I mean the FM isnt a complete joke now, you do actually stand a chance against Phantoms.

I’d like to see that happen tbh

anyway a fourth gen should be able to easily beat a third gen

I mean you can very easily

Just pay about 2k GE or 140,000RP and you’re sorted.

It’s called Skyflash SuperTEMP in case you’re interested 😂

The FM isn’t final, the current version is a temporary one until the new code for the slats is done. It was boosted to make it more flyable in the meantime, and has been that way for awhile now. Reporting it in its current state isn’t worth doing because the original FM report is still open with all the required data in it.

In the absence of Britain of I assume Britain getting absolutely nothing this update. I hope Tornado and Harrier work is done instead.

I love that name endlessly. a more friendly version would be Sky Slug. You’ve got Paul Tremelling to thank for that

I mean we got a sea harrier thats a copy paste so you know each to their own.

With it being finished now, gunna be fun in SB

Has anybody got the F-14 for some rwr testing?

@Gunjob It’s been too long without a Tornado bug report: Community Bug Reporting System

I take it no RWR warning panel when in cockpit with the Tornados either. So that might be another bug report

I love how we’re at the point where we’re putting pre-emptive bug reports in

I just realize that Tornado F.3 can also keep up with F-16C and MiG-29SMT by just add AIM-9 L/I and early AMRAAM
well same goes as JA-37D
