I thought both had PCHP’s 🤔
It could be easly. IRL tornado has a second pilot, that does these things, but i wt you fly alone, so it is not possible for someone else to do this. That is where a feature we already have in game comes in. HMD. It could be implemented with no problems, as in planes like tornado HMD was not mounted, due to a copilot.
Might be all the edge the Tornado F3 to help with the minor uptiers. Im actually rather looking forward to using a HMD jet (im guessing Gr9A will be our first) , as I only play britain, i’ve never used the system and it sounds like it could be quite fun and handy to have in a fight
It sure is handy. I hope that this HMD-thingy getts added eventualy, as it affects multiple 2 seated planes IIRC, for example some mirages.

GR.4 had a HMD (HMCS) late in it’s career. Was primarily for air-to-ground situational awareness and targeting, since it was a UOR for Afghanistan.
No idea if it integrated with AIM-9 and ASRAAM on Tornado, but it was supposed to be capable of doing so when the initial version of the system was installed on Jaguar GR.3.
DERA also ran trials with a HMD on a Tornado ADV (F.2A TIARA), including a helmet-steered FLIR installed on top of the nose. But F.3 didn’t get a HMD in the end.
Appears it wasn’t, the manuals from 2006 don’t mention it, and if I recall I remember reading or hearing pilots complain about the lack of a HMS.
I meant F3. The post i was answering was talking about F3, so i simply used tornado instead of full Tornado F3.

I think we should just get coop jets :P
That would be either extreamly fun, or the most painfull experience. No inbetween.

Agreed to that :D
I can just imagine taking my friend for a stroll, where he would fight for controls with me, or start wasting all out AAms on the sun. I just see it.
I was thinking also things like server desync between players causing issues or the pilot the scaring the hell out of the navigator with canyon racing :P
Well, the F16 entered the canyon, we will fly next to the canyon and catch it when it flies out. Pilot: i dont think so. Yea, desync would kill this. But hey, imagine that in tanks. It would be hell descent
Or a bomber with players manning each gun :P B-17 with what 7-8 players all shouting on comms :P
That would mean a single bomber that you approach might be a clown car or a bunker filled with snipers. Hell nah.
I’d play a gamemode that was 3 bombers each with 6+ players vs an entire team of players in fighters :P
Me and the boys in British bomber, throwing 7.7 baloons, knowing we will not survie this.
Yeah… would have to be US or German bombers
Tu-4 in the corner
Or that
