Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

and/or allow you to actually fixate onto a ground target at those ranges. I find in SB at least, ground targets are visible out to about 25km (just about) but it wont let you lock onto any of them until you are within about 13km of the target. You can stabilise out to 20km, but you have to be very accurate.

But yeah, T-Pods need some major overhauls

@Gunjob btw could you check in why in the dev servers the assta 1 thermals had been “fixed” to gen 2 and then in the last update “nerfed” to gen 1 again? Right now i gave a feeling like someone accidentaly thought germany uses the same thermals als britain and copy pasted your targeting pod on top pf the litening 2

I also saw that, and let me tell you, they were not gen 2. The resolution was in a weird spot where it wasnt any gen we have in game. It was some kind of 2+ but not 2+

Ok it seems like recently 2+ got changed into 1080 720

Either gen 1 is wrong, shiuld be the same as f16C, they did fix it initialy and now its bugged again🤷‍♂️

At least on live F16c also has 1st gen

Thats weird, when did thwy change that? That was one of the reasons for the bug report i think they had that one fixed

Im not sure when. I would need to go look for past datamines, and i do not want to do so. The only plane with tpod of higher gen is jh7
F16c tpod from the datamine, checked just now

No idea Community Bug Reporting System

Well, i guess they fixed the f16c by making it gen 1 all around, and that dragged tornado with it

And here i enter to ask a questions. What even were upgrades from 400 to 500, and what aircrafts used it?

Double the zoom and a new thermal imager.

Thank you. Gen 2/2+ i assume, zoom would be nice

So seems like it is part of an overall gameplay balancing thing?

Couldn’t say without checking. Though Gaijin’s modelling the generation by just changing the resolution is a somewhat lacking interpretation. As an example the Litening 3 is a 3rd gen thermal imager, but has a lower resolution than what gaijin use for gen 2 in game.

Well, if they buff some Tpods it would be nice. Hate the Gen1 pixel counting

Well no, they nerfed them overall

Yea, also those encoders, image lifters, photodetectors and all the other funny things

Reads as Russia doesn’t have a equivalent in game so we make it worse for everyone else

Even for such a bad platform like the Tornado? That just sucks hard

Probably they want to give soviets tpods, but they only have gen 1, so to make it fair, everyone is being nerfes to gen. 1
