Tornado IDS ASSTA 3 SLE discussion thread

Surely we will see some nice skins for the SLE like for the MFG

Zusammenfassung

Yes and no. 12.0 would also work up to 13.0. Then there’s the question of the right lineup. The Leopard 2A5 is currently 12.3 and the Puma VJTF is 11.0. So, all in all, it’s completely irrelevant whether it’s 12.0 or 12.3 in GroundRB. The question is whether the Tornado can compete with the big boys? My answer would be more like no. Sure, you can play it and sure, you can get kills. But with the exception of the HOSBO bomb, it’s seriously lacking in range. The LJDAM and, hopefully, the GBU-48 (if my report is accepted) would be the best choices due to their additional GPS guidance. Or you could try your luck flying low with unguided bombs. However, that strategy might not get you anywhere.

Here’s how I see it right now. The Tornado is missing that certain something in the current state of the game. It needs a push in the right direction. We won’t be seeing ARM anytime soon, so we need something else. My next idea would be the TSPJ. But I suspect the devs wouldn’t know how to implement it…

Id hope they didnt gatekeep ARMs behind certain airframes like they did for the AS-34 and ASMs in general.

Would be good if all Tonkas got their appropriate ARMs (though whether the 11.3/10.0 ones should is a debate to be had) as well as everything that could carry some form of ARM. From the Jags running Martels all the way up to Typhoons running Spear-EW

maybe Tornado ECR Next, the mk.105 engines would be nice )))

I would almost bet that they would release it as a premium or event vehicle.

Zusammenfassung

I think the ECR variant would be cool too. I’ll take any Tornado. On the other hand, we shouldn’t expect miracles from the Mk-105 engines. But more is always nice, of course.

The same way they implemented IRCCM on the Mi-28 :)))

I’m not familiar with the Mi-28’s IRCM, but I am familiar with the Tzefa and AH-1F/S IRCM, and unfortunately, it hasn’t really convinced me so far. I would also say that the TSPJ is more than just an IRCM. In any case, I would be happy if things started to progress on it.

Hello, could this Tornado carry more than 2 Hosbo’s?
Mainly asking because TGP already takes a slot for one of them if you want to equip brimstones.

Spoiler

Likely yes.
But convince gajin of that.
Cause its a prototype weapon. There is nearly no soirces

Damn, I was hoping to see 2 more of them maybe installed instead of the fuel tanks, like you can do with LJDAMS.

We tried it, Gaijin:
Gib Source

At a bare minimum , in place of fuel tanks would make sense. I can see potential concerns with fitting them next to each other on the belly (not saying that is the concern or not, but possible)

But the wing pylons? Definetly wierd

Yea, I hope that maybe they reconsider that, dev still got almost a week of time left…

Yeah, I’d consider the SLEs entire A2G loadout… up for review. Like the Brimstones… Its… wierd.

Purely a proposed weapon for it. I cant think of another example of a purely proposed weapon being fitted. (not saying there isnt, just none come to mind)

There is that one infamous missile, so anything is possible

Gaijin: gives completely fake loadout

Refuses to give a plausible realistic load out

Yak 141 for one.
Multiple cm systems
Kh38 for the Su 30 etc etc

I mean, its not completly Fake, because unlike with the KH-38 we have actuall proof for the HOSBO + pictures of HOSBO Mounted
