not realy correct, we know that the SLE will get the HOSBO which is fire and forget
Honestly, both the GR.4 and SLE should start with AIM-9M/L-I stock because of their awful FM and having almost no role in ARB other than to be a scavenger.

Yeah. Without thsoe weapons, they would easily be 11.7. Seems daft to force such a stockgrind for what is not a overwhelming strong airframe to begin with (at least in A2A)
someone telled me HOSBO havent IR guided mode
HOSBO uses TV guidance, not IR guidance
There was a project called PILUM which was to use the IR seeker from SPICE on the body of HOSBO, but it never went past mockup.

Well, if they’re so desperate to find suitable weaponry, they could just give the ASSTA 3 SLE the Taurus. 😂
Smin denied that
I’m aware that the Taurus is overkill for War Thunder in its current state (and maybe it always will be). That was meant more as a little joke.
why’s that? with Kh59 and ASTER we already have missiles that theoretically reach beyond the size of all current maps
I think it’s because the Taurus has its own propulsion system with a range of about 500km. And then there’s the fact that the Taurus autonomously scans the area and flies below radar altitude on its way to the target until impact. That would be pretty overkill for War Thunder. How would you even counter such a weapon?
So does Brimstone… They would just delete that functionality.
Again… to be honest… past about 100km I dont think it matters anymore, If it has that much range, it has enough range to hit a base cross map. This is why the Grom-1 was removed, but we’ll have to see if people are able to exploit the KH-59 in the same way. If they can. I cant think of a single good argument not to add Taurus and Storm Shadow in at least GNSS only implementations

At least currently, the SU-30MK2 only carries enough KH59 to kill half a base, so not very useful for bombing unlike the Grom-1
Yeah, though I can still potentially see cross map KH-59s in SB and it just taking twice as many
2! max Taurus with a 500kg AP warhead won’t kill a base either
Can’t the Tornado carry 4? Or is that just for Storm Shadow? (Which would be somewhat weird imo)
Tonkas can carry 4x Taurus/Storm shadow but the default is usually 2 with fuel tanks
Spoiler
I cant find the pic with 4x Taurus
I’ve never seen one with 4
I think I have somewhere
That’s certainly one way to do it, and I’d be pretty much the last person to object. I’m definitely someone who wants to see the Tornado finally used to its full potential. It would also be great if we could finally say the Tornado is truly useful. If Gaijin would finally stop making strange arguments for not implementing something when similar or even identical systems already exist. This is a recurring theme throughout the entire game, not just with the Tornado. Although, with the Tornado, it was sometimes absurd. For example, I like to use the battle rating madness of the 11.3 and 11.7 Tornados in AirRB. To this day, I don’t understand why they don’t all have the same battle rating in that mode, even though they’re practically identical.
No one does.
Only reason I can come up with is that they wanted to add 11.3 Tornados for that 10.0/10.3 GRB BR and then realised that if they were the same BR as the ones with guided weapons it would look kinda wierd, and so put them at seperate BRs, either that or they wanted an added incentive for the WTD61, to make it look better than it actaully is.
But yeah, it is one of the most stupid decisions they have ever made.
and yeah. 100% full strength Tornados would actually be an exceptionally good ground attack aircraft, unfortunately, Gaijin doesnt beleive that to be true.
