And what do you do to defend yourself when you are being chased by a faster, more maneuverable and better armed plane??? Give me the solution since you seem to know everything, I don’t see any… The Tornardo is not the fastest, the most maneuverable and has very weak defense capabilities…but you want maybe he stays in 11.3 because for you he is an easy target as well as a good way to earn points by killing him.

Which aircraft you have problem in particular? F16 then idk what you could do xdd

anyone who says that the tornado IDS ASSTA1 being a higher BR than the tornado IDS MFG is just talking crap, it makes zero sense for them to have a seperate BR in air RB

tornado is so bad it gets beaten by phantoms, it also struggles to beat lower BR planes to bases

It doesn’t matter if the change of just one variant would be hard to notice in the matchmaking. You are asking for the BRs to get compressed even further for no good reason.
If we go through with the ADF to 12.7, the baseline A would go to 12.3. That in turn would be a reason to lower a bunch of other BRs as well, as otherwise planes that couldn’t get matched against F-16As before would get matched against them now.

Wasn’t it faster than phantom?
Just curious, I’ve played the F3 but not the CAS one

the A-10 and ADF could both just stay 12.7 lol, they were both 12.0 before

It is faster if you don’t take a full bomb load and max fuel

phantom can beat you because they get rockets and not bombs which can hit bases from further, the strike tornados are completely miserable to play, grinding the paveways on the IDS was a nails on a chalkboard like experience

Then we are just compressing the BRs again. The BRs should get decompressed, not compressed further.

Oh I see why, my phantom go with full fuel AA load.
Then in this case I guess it’s kinda weak on phantom’s presence, excluding the UK one which you could just dump your PGM2000 from miles

Honestly it feels like a different topic tho, I had the same thought for every single CAS centric plane. You’d either had to lower it and harm everyone with the missile you carry (A10 ish) or they gotta go up and be not competitive over fighters of the same tier.
Fighters always have the better performance.
I think it comes down to the fact that this game is not very friendly for guided munition in ARB. Imagine if the abrams worth twice as much, then bringing guided bomb might not be a bad idea.

I do have to note tho - almost never would you have bases completely taken out nowadays. It now relies more or less on your skill, and there’s a big chance you get blasted by some radar missile if you just go straight to the base. Maybe the better avionics on the tornado make up for it by having a better time notching things like Aim54

yeah it’d be great if the IDS ASSTA1 got PGMs lol

Classic German TT time. When we are talking about anything we pretty much exclude German at this point. German air TT is unrealistically mistreated.
Mig29G is really that bad trust me, the radar is dogshit as everything else

it doesn’t have a single feature that would warrant a BR jump or even a difference in ARB, yet it’s still higher than the IDS MFG or premium one

Yeah the German one has been a long standing problem there

It’s defensive capabilities are more than enough. If you are just flying in a straight line to the bases you are bound to get killed in a head-on. That just happens to all strike planes, unless you get lucky.
If someone gets behind you and manages to catch up there is nothing you can do. That has always been the case.
The 11.3 BR is fair, as the Tornado has the massive speed advantage over a lot of 10.3 planes and access to the AIM-9Ls (heck, even 11.7 is still fine, as you meet less threatening planes now, like I said before), putting them lower would just recreate the same problems that the Tornado IDS Marineflieger created when it came out at 10.7: it gets spammed because it can get bases for free.

On a side note: I am not sure why they insist on having the IDS WTD and MFG on a lower BR than the italian IDS, the ASSTA and the GR.1. Not to be that guy, but I am pretty sure they only get lower BRs, because that way they sell better.

I will ask on that, thanks.

Just give it 9m instead of the 9L to give it a chance at 12.7 is all it need really, that or the BR shouldn’t have gone up to 12.7 at all
