Air and ground BRs are seperate, this one hasnt been seperated yet

and its also unfinished

Not neccesarily.
shot 2025.10.27 11.47.13
shot 2025.10.27 11.47.21

possible, but given the gaijin track record, it will be just german contemporary to GR.4.

we’ll see

no point in complaining now that its unfinished

is it tho?

I highly doubt it will recieve any weapons different to british GR.4, unless gaijin decides to roll out the HOPE and HOSBO glide bombs out of the blue, per the ASSTA 3 SLE suggestion.. In fact, it shoud lose the Brimstones lol.

So only real improvement over ASSTA 1 will be better TGP, 9Li, MAWs, RWR and more flares.

yes Gaijin said now 3 times that this is an Unfinished WIP model, that the SLE will focus on more modern weapons than the existing one and will Definetly receive a “Domestic bomb” too

it should not loose Brimstone as those were Planned for ASSTA 4/SLE as per I think @dotSHINI brochure

i mean tornado ret8 exists so adding a barely upgraded tornado isnt exactly new from gaijin

Gosh I do hope so lol.

thats what I fear.

Also what I meant is that while defensive suite upgrade as well as IRCCM missiles are welcome, it wont perform its CAS duties all that different to already present ASSTA 1 if A2G ordnance is no different.

Wr8ng one not me

I apologise, you were easier to tell apart when you didn’t yet have the Exactly same profile picture and half the name was Identical too

I meant @dotKEYツ ? there are 2 with that name

Even more, its an old clan tag.

But yeah had its reason we xhanged that

I originally found it, it’s from an Airbus presentation

So, another Tornado finds it’s way into the game, eh? The stock grind will be a wonderful experience again should Gaijin still not fix the quarter-assed FM of it. Especially if it retains the 9L/Is, meaning it’ll probably stay at 12.3

wdym bad Airframe?

if you play it clean, with nothing in the Secondary weapons loadout, use as little fuel as you can get away with and Manually control wing sweep its actually a nice Gunfighter, especially due to the Radar lead it has

yeah , sounds so awesome gameplay on that, it might work in 1/200 times.

he’s who motivated me to try it with my Humble Bomber tornados

The MAW currently doesn’t provide CM when used with missiles or bombs lol

Low on fuel, after ditching bombs. It can be fine.

The issue is when you are heavy, like when your tank is full of fuel which you really need to be doing early game
