It seems EF2000 might be a better CAS platform than Tonka,
but IMO, Tonka is more attractive. Thanks for the video.

I wish there will be more updated Tornado variants, but not too many!
Great, you’ve just jinxed 2025.
Get ready for:
Tornado F2
Tornado F3 CSP (Devils favourite aircraft :P )
Tornado F3 FSP
Tornado F3 Granby
Tornado F4 / F3 WSU
Tornado EF3
Tornado Gr1 (early)
Tornado Gr1B
Tornado Gr1 (Saudi Arabia)
Tornado F3 (Saudi Arabia)
:P

can’t wait to see Tornado F.3 Super-Late
Thats either the Torando F3 FSP (ASRAAM + Aim-120C5s) or the Tornado F4 with EJ200 engines and a load of other upgrades like HMD (was a paper proposal)

Lovely. XD
Spoiler
That was the full proposal for it. Basically, it was “how can we get a few more years out of these airframes”

You guys should’ve done it
Really wasnt any point when you consider the Typhoon was already in service. But would be a hilarious aircraft to get in game, if the restriction on paper-variants of aircraft ever changes

By the way any news on the flight model?
iirc the sustained turn is still underperforming by quite a bit and the current FM feels even worse than before
I think its instant is underperforming and its sustained is overperforming. Its also got too much drag, so cant hit its top speed anymore.
But last word was essentially “not being worked on anymore and its as good as we can get with current game limitaitons”
No idea if it will get worked on ever again even if those game limitaitons are removed. Best we can hope for I think is combat thrust modeling and them overtuning that slightly to mitigate the drag issues
Still just wondering why Gaijin just don’t send every 11.7 Tornado IDS down to 11.3 in ARB.
- When A2G/A2A capability of non-GR.4 IDS are almost the same
- MiG-23ML or F-4S which uses napalm are way better on both A2A/A2G
Because of Silly ‘Attacker Better netting than fighters, so no buff till Base reward is dead’ theory which Stona told us in May 2024…?
I think it seems F-4S or MiG-23ML can net way, way better rewards than Tornado GR.1 nowadays.
:/
Sometimes, I think Gaijin believes that attackers are not allowed to play ‘Fighter-Realistic’ mode.

It’s the curse of interdictor/strike aircraft in air RB, the game mode is not designed to facilitate them. These aircraft are either way too low in br and broken like A-10 or dead even at a generous BR like the IDS.
The Gr.4 is a good meme tho
Hahaha
Let’s start a petition to move ids variants to 8.0
It’s the GBUs. They are too OP in A2A combat

Recently got the GR.4… how on earth am I meant to play this thing? Getting bases is nigh on impossible with all the premium 12.0 jets
1x TERMA, 1x BOZ, 2x BOL. Leave MAWS on and you basically wont be touched by any missiles as you have 600 flares and 600 chaff.
You can try rushing bases, but just edge skirting and waiting for the respawn also works. 2x Aim-9M will actually get kills more reliably than the 9Ls on the Gr1.
I wouldnt run 12x Bombs though. Just run 5x Mk13s (or maybe a few more for another target) and 2x Fuel tanks with about 30 mins internal fuel. Ditch the tanks early if you need to, if not keep going. Should keep you decently quick.
Alternatively. Play the GR4 in SB. The lack of a 12.3 bracket sucks. But the good defensive kit on the GR4 does allow you to still make it too and from a base even in 13.0 matches.
He’s stock…
