Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Question….

Gaijin are moving down the F4 ice to 13.0, the new premium viggen is 13.0 (dev server) and every other gen 3 or 3+ with AMRAAMs sits at 13.0 (J8F, FA.2, AV8B+)

Why is the F.3 late staying at 13.3? (0.o) Because I’d like someone to tell me with a strait face it’s just strait up better than all of those aircraft…especially after the speed nerf which was the only thing it had going for it.

I smell FGR.2 treatment, British players are just too good….

A2G functions for the HMS are now on dev;

So does Brimstone’s poor performance mean that the CAS will still use this kind of garbage when the typhoon fighter arrives in the future?

Shouldn’t it be red (640nm) though? Or is it some engine limitation that HMS and HUD symbology only comes in green?

Probably a limitation right now. As you can change HUD colour.

So now the last real big fix left to be done is the speed that being the one that is really effecting them the most right now

@Gunjob did you get gaijin to give the tornado better landing gear suspension too? feels a little bouncy

newfound VTOL tech i suppose, why didn’t the british think of this before making the harrier

That is because you flied the Sea Tornado FGR.4
It was not as wide spread as the other variants, but a few existed. Main feature was the VTOL capability, but due to deincrease in aircraft carrier role in the current times, they were sent to reserve.

Very nice, going to be very handy with CCRP in ASB

Maybe even launch box. Since it has IOG and LOAL I would increase launch box horizontally to give more space to off bore launches. Because currently if you want to launch at targets to your right, you have to turn sideways and point your belly at them to be able to launch.

Massively inconvenient for the Tornado F3 Late
When you unlock the Skyflash missiles, you cannot equip 2x Skyflash, and the default 2x Aim120
You can only equip 4x Skyflash.
This modification is therefore pointless and should be removed.

Where is the option to take 2x skyflash and 2x aim120?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don’t think mixing AMRAAM and Skyflash was possible, you could mix TEMP and SuperTEMP though. Hell you can even mix and match the wings, motor and forebody on Skyflash with TEMP/SuperTEMP parts.

The radar required a physical modification to switch between AMRAAM and Skyflash guidance mode. So you can’t carry a mix of both.

so i found an old plane book in my house from the late 80’s based of the copyright but it gives no sources for the weapons they have said here but it claims mavricks

I think german tornados might have had Mavs not sure about british ones tho
