Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Looks like Tornado is missing DL for MITL, as Mirage RMV can use MITL with PGMs.

@Gunjob @Smin1080p_WT. Could you take a look at this bug about the pgms lacking MITL on the tornados. Thanks.

Smin is away for a few days

It got rejected because i had no sorce but there is the exact same pgm in the game with MITL feature??? Man im not doing their job for them 😂

The official line is that the Tornado is not equipped with the datalink pod necessary for the MITL of the PGM series

I guess its time to suggest the raptor reconnacance pod as thats the only way the gr4 is gonna get data link

Neither is the Mirage…

then thats a seperate issue unrelated to Tornado

The PGM being this place holder stand off weapon for Tornado as they wont add or model Tornadoes actual weapon systems. Need to now prove it has a DL channel when the thing was test fired…

Just have some common sense Gaijin, this is like arguing with a toddler.

Nah. PGM is a very nice weapon and there’s not really an alternative for GR.1. For GR.4 I guess you could argue for Storm Shadow but that can’t target moving objects like an SPAA. They’re better than ALARM in some cases as they can just turn off their radars to prevent ALARM from hitting them but PGM’s can track from 10km away on the /3 version.

You can take a loadout of 2 ALARM’s and 4 PGM’s with a TGP and 3 Brimstones or a Paveway IV. Lob 2 ALARM’s to prevent people from using their radars and then lob 4 PGM’s at the people with them off and those with their radars still on will get blown up if they focus on you or your PGM’s and then they still have wasted 6 missiles which for most SPAA’s is either 3/4 or half. (Unless it’s Pantsir with the 48 missiles)

I would be very happy if they got Brimstone 2 (with Morv’s “MITL”) that way I can lob my 18 Brimstones at one Pantsir and he can’t really do anything about it

PGM with the same MITL the Mirage has would be nicer though. The fact Gaijin want proof that the Tornado could DL with it when it was never adopted but only tested is just so Gaijin.

The GR.4 load out options are nice it’s a shame the jets flight model is so mediocre

Well… There is ALARM

Yes but all Russian aircraft can MITL all of their FNF weapons because uh… um… Soviet science is the greatest in the world.

Well I would certainly love them to add PGM to Typhoon since we have loads of photos of that.

“But we do not want to give it ALARM because it would be 11.7 and would prevent Britain from using it in their 11.3 lineup”

This would just fix so many problems with Typhoon.

You bring 9ms?

4xAlarm
4xPGM
3xBrimstone.

Anti heli, tank and spaa. Dont need 9ms when you dont plan to live when planes are up anyway.

I like having the most countermeasures out of any other plane in game

Eh, not like bol does much.

Speaking of not doing much, hello ESM. The refresh rate on it is straight ass along with the fact it doesnt actually slave the arm unless you hard lock it which doubles the process which isnt great. All this along with the fact it doesnt even see the spaa half the time.
