Is there any hypothesis or probability of a new premium plane for grinding in Germany? It is currently very difficult to grind with the tornado or similar ones…
They’ve had quite a few recently, so Im expecting premiums for Italy, Israel, Japan and China sooner rather than later as they all lack anything above an 11.0 premium and havent seen a premium jet in a good long while.
But the first will probably be the soviets with a 12.0+ premium.
But the Tornado WTD61 is a decent grinder, just need to play it right. Try running 2x 9L, 2x BOZ, 2x Fuel tanks, 6x Mk83s and about 30 mins internal fuel. That should fairly reliably get you 1x base kill and maybe if you are lucky an A2A kill too.
What is an A2A kill?
Buy G91/R4 only at 90 % discount
I’d recommend a mixed load of 6x regular Mk.83 and 6x High Drag Mk.83. This will allow you to easily kill 2 bases with CCRP and serial bomb release, without having to worry about bomb quantity. Even in Sim the fuel tanks are rarely needed.
It’s one of the aircraft that is very good to grind in in Sim EC, but probably will struggle quite a bit in AB/RB, especially for beginners in high tier jet combat.
I recommend against the full 2x bomb load in ARB because the extra drag and weight just isnt worth. I’ve been playing the GR4 a moderate amount in ARB recently and i’ve had more success getting one base with 5x Mk13s than trying to get 2+ with the full 12x Mk13 bomb load. Also the advantage of the fuel tanks with a partial internal load is that you can ditch them if you need the extra combat performance. 30 mins + tansk is about the same as just max internal, so I use it like a fuel dump mechanic.
But yeah, not the most forgiving aircraft

Seeing as they relatively recently got premium Su-22?
Sadly unlikely.
Look out for discount for Lazur, its your best bet.

Valid suggestion too! I’ve ground myself up to high tier with the G.91 when I started flying again after having basically only played tank for a few years.
Another suggestion would be the Swiss P-16: Solid attacker with good canons and capability to carry AIM-9B. You can well kill 2 bases with it (G.91 max. 1), have some unguided rockets to cause trouble, and the Sidewinders for self defense. If the P-16 was in game already when I started grinding Germany, I’d for sure have used it for most of the ‘work’! = )
