No, it’s not. One of the worst FMs in the entire game relative to BR. Pretty much any gen3/gen4 can tear this thing a new one.
I remember when Tornado IDS MFG was 10.7 or 10.3, I don’t remember exactly, then Gaijin moved it up, that thing is unplayable.
Even a Mig-23BN can out dogfight it, and that thing is not that good.
@Morvran You are correct on this. It doesn’t have any internal CMs or guns. The BOZ pods, guns, and 9Ls all share the same pylon, so if you want a gun, and CMs you only get 2 9Ls and 2 9Js.
This is needed for all planes, and it makes zero sense why it isn’t in game. If we are sending planes fully into combat, wouldn’t combat thrust be unlocked?

Didnt think I was wrong.
OP must be confusing it with the Viggen C
and yeah. Combat thrust would be excellent to have on everything
This is your average loadout, its very underwhelming for air especially when you’re less agile than a Mirage IIIE which is 10.3, would hwlp if gaijin corrected their weight considering they are heavier than in real life but common sweden air L as per usual
Luft med pistol og modforanstaltninger is my air rb loadout

Yep, which is why its fine at 11.0 whilst the Tornado IDS is at 11.3. Relative to each other, its about right
You cant bomb anyways at 11.0 it was 11.3 on release and was worthless, poor flight performance (standard for the viggens) and sub par weapons.
You need all 4 inner pylons for one base, so no CM’s…
You have to play as a fighter thats worse than most fighters…
Gaijin could buff it and give it wingtip RB74 if they wanna change its BR. IRL RB74 worked on the the outer pylons but SAAB was worried that their increased weight would cause stress over time requiring more maintenance.
Sounds like a typical gaijin technicality
Eh its only good at 10.7 ground and worthless in air RB so probably best to keep as is. Now just add BK90
lol my bad then, i just forgot it had BOL pods in the same pylons u carry missiles and guns.
