I have no idea
So with more things getting Phimat, fingers crossed the F3s get them this major too. F3 Late definetly needs them
Harrier gr.3???
It would be useful, but niche given its main beenfit is GRB and we have no 9.7 lineup.
F3 has to deal with ARH where Large cahff would be really useful
No I agree, with the F.3 getting its radar performance halved this update it absolutely needs it.
Well I don’t have it yet so I don’t see spaded stats
Ah, after IRIS-T has shown up with AIM-120C-5 for the next update
Feels quite a bit sad about no sign of ASRAAM yet
Also, awaiting Tornado F.3 Super-Late with ASRAAM/AIM-120C-5 combo at 14.0 against F-15E
and Tornado GR.4 Late with ASRAAM at reasonable low BR in near future
Even though that I might need to grind ruthless stock all over again, still 2x ASRAAM might works great against those F-15 gangs for sure XD
IRIS-T is only limited to ground launched versions at the moment
We will see ASRAAM come when the air launched IRIS-T is added most likely
The Tornado GR.4 has HMS, so giving it ASRAAM would essentially make a 10km area infront of the aircraft where everything dies. That would raise its BR a lot.
Hopefully Gaijin sees sense and just calls it the FSP
Then we still need the WSU too :P
Option Z please
I’m curious what people think
made a poll for AOA Button we need more people
AOA? more like a hand brake for the tornado, imma get all the ladies with one simple trick.

How open do you think the devs would be to adding the naval search mode currently found on the Tornado MFG and WTD61 onto the other Tornados?
Especially the GR1 and GR4s that can use the PGMs as Psuedo ASMs?
If the Tpod/Missile seekers were to snap to the radar lock, it would add our missing ASM gameplay, in a roundabout fashion without the need to specifically model the Sea Eagles
and even without that, as its modeled already in game, would be nice to get it onto the other Tornados.
(the same could be nudged for the Buc S2B as well)

Maybe next patch, I have already nudged them enough on BV/CAPTOR/Raven radar stuff already.

Fair enough. Dont forget to nudge them about Phimat pods next patch too please :P
(also hindenburg tanks for all whilst your at it :P )

Im surprised its taken this long to add a ground mode for the tornaods. Did they not have a ground radar? and if they do get one would it be able to slave pgms allowing ripple fire? Would help tremendously in sim finding targets as you have to fly a jet at low alt while looking for targets… Ill be the first to admit ive eaten leaves more times than i should due to forgetting to set the wing angle. those last few degrees of travel cause the nose to dip down, and its kinda hard to tell the grounds getting closer untill its too late lol.
They had Ground mapping radar which is very accurate for larger targets like buildings to then lob bombs at. However the usefulness of this has been largely diminished by the map placed CCRP markers, as it would have given largely the same capability but made it more unique to the Tornado.
I think it also had GMTI, but only out to a range of about 8km iirc and I guess they figure that it has such limited guided weapons, GMTI wouldnt be all that valuable. Which is a real shame. As you said, even if not of much use in GRB. Would definetly be of use in ASB.
But yes. Its time for a Tornado IDS radar overhaul I think. Especially as I think it should have a fairly basic A2A SRC radar mode as well.
Another thought just came to me, would make guiding brimstones a dream in sim as it would basically be a SARH missile but for ground targets. You could stay in cockpit view while firing at targets, one after another without ever changing view. We need it on the gr.4 more than the gr.1.
