What would a proper Radar even do in the Tornado? Or do you mean things like ground mapping?
To put this in perspective, the last time the Tornado was 11.0 it had a worse flight model and was among the best fighters in matches with 1 base of bombs.
It would bomb a base, frag 2 - 3 players, and RTB.
Thatโs why it went up in BR so quickly when first introduced.
And with the FM buffs last year, it would only be stronger.
Yeah, also potentially should have a fairly basic A2A SRC radar as well iirc. If its got IFF (I dont recall) then that is quite a decent boost in SB at least

Iโve taken a short peek into my two books on the Tornado on the issue of the Radar, and Ian Black (Author of the Haynes guide on the RAF Tornados) makes no mention of the Radar set/s being able to acquire aerial targets. Bernd and Frank Vetter (Authors of Motorbuchโs book simply titled โTornadoโ) however do. But only vaguely. They mention the Radar/s being able of pursuing Aerial Targets (Luftzielverfolgung). Which to me sounds awfully like the simple ACM every Tornado already has ingame
I think flame found some info in the National Archives

Thatโd be very interesting if true
The GR.1 is so shit that i have more luck using it as a dogfighter. If i bring dumb bombs its a question of which SARH slinger will kill me before i even reach half of the map in air rb. In ground rb its really nasty as it donโt ahve to face the pantsir.
There is no reason for this brick to be at 11.7.
