This topic was briefly raised by @G3ntl3man95 When the GR.4 was first introduced to the Dev server, but as far as I am aware, it has not particularly proceeded past that.

I understand that an aircraft having Aim-9Ms can justify its BR being thrown up, as seen with many other aircraft. However my concern here lies in the fact that the Tornado GR.4 is now regularly being uptiered to face aircraft that carry 4!!! High-G IRCCM missiles (R-73Es) in addition to 6!!! AMRAAMs. It feels obscene that an aircraft carrying 2x short range IR missiles should have to face an aircraft with better flight performance and weaponry far superior. It makes sense in my mind to move the Tornado GR.4 down to 11.7 or at least 12.0, so that it doesn’t face things like the (Premium) Su-30s

You are comparing a strike aircraft that has air to air weaponry as a last ditch attempt to defend itself with a dedicated multirole aircraft that is used both as fighter and an attacker. They should not have equal air to air capabilities. Same as IRCCM missiles should not exist below 12.0, even on subsonic aircrafts (looking at you Su-25 and A-10)

I’m sat huffing on my supply of unlimited copium that eventually the AIM-9M’s will be replaced by ASRAAMs haha. Pray for my GR4.
