Tornado IDS ASSTA 3 SLE discussion thread

I was also certain I had once seen a picture with four Taurus. However, I can no longer find the picture anywhere, and the official websites of MBDA-Systems and TAURUS-Systems show each compatible aircraft with a maximum of only two Taurus.

It seems Tonado received the HOSBO glide bomb on the dev server today. However, it has an IR seeker; shouldn’t that be the PILUM glide bomb instead?

Its currently only copy paste spice 1000
The explosie mass of hosbo is wrong as well

but how possible would it be for the German one we have in-game to receive it?

From smin we have an its possible, but priority has the SLE

pls gaijin, I beg 🙏

As it is now, it should definitely be renamed PILUM. HOSBO didn’t have an IR seeker; it only had GPS/INS.

Assume the HOSBO is a total placeholder. Like how the Sea Eagle is just a reskinned Penguin at the moment

I think the HOSBO is just a reskinned SPICE-2000 at the moment

It had an EO/TV seeker as well

30+35? I know that plane

it’s a Tranche 1 German Trainer currently in TaktLwG 74 in Neuburg Bavaria

thats a “Yes but we aren’t currently working on that” kind of approval

so a Maybe leaning towards yes

Cool that they added the HOSBO version, hopefully they add HOPE version which is a bigger bomb

surely the Dev who works on the SLE notices it too that it could carry more (Cope)

To be fair, it was a big Hail Mary type of report, it was worth a shot. Only two HOSBO is super underwhelming for a strike aircraft though. At the very least it should be able to carry 4.

I find the dismissive reason of “not enough sources” regarding the HOSBO glide bomb quite amusing. As if there were tons of information about a weapon that was still in the testing phase. Not to mention how many and at which hardpoints the weapon was used. Damn it, Gaijin can, to put it mildly, stick it anywhere because there’s no reliable data. In terms of size and weight, the Tornado could theoretically have carried the HOSBO glide bomb at all hardpoints (except, of course, the AIM-9 hardpoints).

But Gaijin gives rossiya as many KH-38s as possible even though they only exist as a mock up lmaooo
