its the f3 late able to have hmd? would make locking targets up close easier
No, the F2 trialed one, and it was proposed for the F4/F3 WSU, but no, the Tornado F3 never had it in service.
Apparently use to annoy F3 pilots that the GR4 got HMD

damn that’s a shame, would be nice if it had it
Yeah, but the ACM modes are quite decent so there is that at least, and if the fight has gotten so close that a HMD would help. Its already gone rather wrong for the F3
They should remove the 1995 IDS and move the M-346 behind the Harrier and add a Tornado ADV with AIM-120’s just like the Brits have
Italian Tornadoes could not use a AIM-120s. Britain offered to upgrade Italian Tornadoes to be compatible with AIM-120s; the Italians decided it was expensive and they would buy some F-16s instead.

isn’t the F3 basically the ADV?

Yes, but the F.3 / ADV could not use AMRAAM originally. It needed a bunch of wiring / computer / radar changes to be able to use it. The British made those upgrades to their F.3s, but Italy never did.
