Still a diabolical br for a jet that soooo much slower than the shar. If the f14 can be 12.7 i dont see why this thing at the very least could. Derbys are not known to be great, plus 9l meaning no 9m rear aspect shots. Even its ground br is wild considering it doesnt get any fnf weaponry… Was REALLY hoping for a brimstone jet to be at a br i play like 11.7 although i would take 12.0.
What would be nice is to see a varient without arh missiles at a lower br while maintaining brimstones.
My favourite tonka. gr.1 is overall better but gbu 39s are just so useful, especially with the up and coming ripple fire. Being able to bring 2 alarms, 4 gbu 39s and 2 ljdams is gonna be alot of fun.
Yeah, I’m very excited to do SEAD in my IDS
Looking forward to trying the gr4 with alarms because as it currently stand nobody can convince me it should be 12.3 in grb. I would put it at 11.7 max. Pantsir and Smsv make it completely pointless. Maybe with 9 alarm I can maybe even get a hit.
Dev updated. The outer ALARM stub pylons are now their own slots in the weapons selector. So you can carry whatever you want on the inner stubs, while taking ALARM on the outers.
I gather ALARM are still AMRAAMs?
Yes unfortunately.
Have the devs disabled the radar modes on the GR.4 that aren’t SEA or ACM on dev?
I can’t seem to switch no matter what I do and I can’t see any others in the menu before I enter a game
It had radar modes other than those 2?
You could lock air targets before afaik, now it’s just the visual range ACM
I could be wrong
All Tonkas are missing a basic A2A mode I think. But didnt notice it when I was messing about a little with the Tonka
Those are the only modes it has on live
They believe that installing the engine on the aircraft will affect its power output, even with regard to the data stated in the operating manual.
Nah we only ever had ACM, and got SEA with the introduction of Sea Eagle. Non of the GR/IDS have had a normal A2A search in game.
Pylon/loadout preset rework to add the extra ALARM slot on the GR.4 seems to have meant the GR.1 pylons and presets also got reworked to the same format, even though it’s not getting ALARM
Existing custom loadouts on the two Tornados get emptied since things don’t match any more. So you might want to make a note/screenshot of what you have currently on the stable client, to remake them after the update.
So will the Tornado GR1 receive ALARM anti-radiation missiles in future updates?
Well… Looks like ALARM is being considered significantly more powerful than any other ARM in-game to such a degree that if the Tornado GR1 gets any it will be 12.0. Even higher than the Tornado RET8. You really cant make this up anymore
Nope. Its Too OP apparently
I don’t know why they’re so amendment it stays at 11.3 since they already foldered it behind the 11.7 F-111C and demoted it to a plane people will only grind before the GR.4 if they really want it.
The progression between Tornados is gone already
