So they are better, even though its as slight as a smokeless motor and potentially better IRCCM/ECCM? Id have to double check the 2nd part.
Just sad to see the states of both these planes, and the ones to come. Seems Germany and UK are in the same boat, but different ocean. Germany lacks any semblance of CAS, UK lacks fighters.
Both nations share the same pain with planes at this point, kind of sad to see how the Tornados have been handled so far.
2 years since IDS MFG, still with broken main weapons.
Premium Tornado
ASSTA1
I can’t think of a reason to NOT add the ASSTA2/3 at this point, especially now with UK getting brimstones.
at least you get the new plane with the new weapons ;)
Germany doesn’t get that choice, and when they did add a new unique weapon, its been broken (As.34 kormoran)
100% agree.
If they don’t want to add fighter EF AND CAS EF, id settle for the fighter, and get the ASSTA3 tornado, which makes the most sense.
Don’t really care about the F18, its cool and all, but I’d like something German for Germany lol.
What DOESN’T make sense is adding more and more fighters/CAS to other nations that literally already have 2-3 copies of EACH
Yeah the f15E and Su34 is built on a fighter airframe but the tornado is built on a bomber so the only good thing about the tornado gr4 is the brimstone and the gbu 4
I’d agree with that, but what does their ground have to do with their air?
Almost every single nation besides USSR lacks a real top-tier AA.
Only amazing German tank is the 2A7, which is now the 2nd best 2A7 (2A7HU).
The other light tanks options for Ger, besides being 1 BR lower, have horribly-performing Spikes and track/wheel blowout issues.
But the 2A7s, lack good reload rates, and are now being hit with rotational stops, so we’ll see how it fares going forward.
Gaijin really does need to step it up with their ground, stupid amount of reports for Challengers, Pumas, etc.
The thing is, I play in Sim EC, and it’s really frustrating that GJ is adding something broken instead of an interesting plane. As you understand, the Brimstone doesn’t pose any imbalance in this mode.
If anything, in it’s current config. It’s basically useless in sim. ePaveways will be nice to use, but brimstones… I just don’t see a use case. To attack a convoy you would have to make 9 attack runs, you are better off just using PGMs and making 3 sorties, probably safer too.
it should just get a nerfed mmW seeker, the only advantage it provides without LOAL is the ability to see through smokes (WHICH ISNT A VALID ARGUMENT) because most vehicles wont know a missile is coming to begin with.
