Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

wonder if theyll give it amraams

I think they’ll need to, but fingers crossed they add a second F3 with them and not move the current one up.

I agree, as much as I dislike the thought of grinding +300k rp for a new weapon.

Unless they add a system where ur BR is adjusted based on ur selected weapon load out in which case they won’t need a new variant. AMRAAM won’t make the F3 competitive but at least it will be fun to mess around with, especially if they are generous with its BR

I’m guessing 12.7. I’m hoping we get Aim-120C5s

That would be a headache to code but it would make a few vehicles very interesting to play and use

Makes the plane look even more badass IMO, but considering the GR.1 doesn’t get bol rails this will prob never happen.

Actually Gunjob (I think) found GR.1 with BOL rails and a report was put in for it. Just not been actioned yet I believe.

Got caught by a shitty M2000C-55 (and its huge wing) on the deck. Couldn’t push past M1.09.
Is there even an explanation for this rubbish, or just because reasons, like this entire game?

Specific excess power, the Tornado F.3 tops out at SEP 0 ft/s around mach 1.18 @ SL on 60% fuel. to push past mach 1.18 you need to burn more fuel and be lighter, or be diving.

Note the 1g graph, 0 ft/s is around 1.18 meaning the engines have dont have enough power to push past the drag.

My bad, I meant IDS, which should be even faster and most certainly faster than a M2000 with its condo sized wing and no bypass engine.

No, the IDS isn’t actually particularly quick, compared to fighters anyhow.

Mirage 2K is a pretty quick jet, its not too surprising it caught you on the deck

Arguably the best radar in the game point blank. Somehow that radar has the smallest notch out of all radars, even MPRF ones. Gaijin still hasn’t fixed other modern HPRF radars or even modern MPRF radars to compensate.
