Speeds up the grinding, yes.
And the radar mode? What is it good for? SEA (seems it can’t be changed)? never had this ingame on any jet.
It’s the same radar as any old Tornado, they just changed the text to reflect the fact that it is a naval search radar and not an air one.

Its only for A2N. Just with an updated name
Was only for the MFG previously, but with the GR1 getting Sea Eagles they just enabled it for all Tonkas. In the future, more may get AS-34s

Ok thx.
How does MAW mod works? I unlocked it. Equipped the advanced BOL pods. Doing test flights (air defense zone), but CMs won’t fire off.
You may need to delete the loadout and make it entirely from scratch. External CM pods can be buggy when equipped to an existing custom loadout after unlocking them.
But after that, it will only detect IR signatures within a certain range (I cant recall what that is) but will also trigger for flares.
Also its BOZ not BOL. BOL is the rail pods that the GR4 has.
Oh yes, its BOZ.
I had to delete all existing loadouts and had to restart WT. Created new loadouts. Then it registered the new pods.
Its 240 Flares + 240 chaffs. Is this ok? I just think all flares would be better? I usually fly low. Maybe chaffs aren’t really needed.
It will trigger to any missile it Detects in 5km, if its coming towards the plane

I’d go 1x BOZ-EC and 1x BOZ. Maximise loadout efficiency. If you are running 2x BOZ-EC at 50/50 you might as well run them both.
268? Flares and 600 chaff. Should be more than enough
Being at 12.3, you’ll need chaff. MP is not a viable defence
Don’t you lose MAW coverage to the side opposite to the EC?
IRL yes. In game, no, that’s not modeled at the moment.
Each pod has 360° view, but the airframe blocks the view of some of those sensors. That masking isn’t modeled
Thx for this info. Important to know.
Ok, it autodispenses quite alot flares per cycle. Is it possible to set up the MAW to use less CMs?
Not at this time. Its a heavily requested feature though
In the GR4 though, ive also got 2x BOL, so running out of flares isnt an issue
I know this isn’t relevant towards the vehicles armament if specs but i was looking at the camo and on the right side with the German flag painted on the tail could anyone tell me what the items are, they look weirdly blurry and im just curious about the camo and its history.
Thank you, a lot higher quality, yeah may need to quite out since the camo was just super blurry on my end
Love tail art camos. So simplistic yet cool
Why are the wing pylons that restricted? They can’t mount anything useful. According to web resources all heavy weight pylons (wings, center fuselage) are identical.
The tricky bit about getting weapons on the wing pylons is that it was very rarely done IRL
Because
A) when the weapon is released it could cause an inbalance that destabilises the aircraft
or
B) Fuel tanks were usually required on operations
So proving that weapons could be fitted on the wings is rather difficult, perticularly if you are referring to something like HOSBO which are in-itself a prototype weapon, just makes the situation even more complicated.
Long been speculation about things like wing-mounted GBU-24s for example, its just proving it without a shadow of doubt.
Komorans, JDAMs and HARM missiles were definetly mounted on wing pylons. Quite smart weapons. Indicating that these pylons are fully capable and not dumbed down versions.
Its again the usual Tornado issue. Its a plane huge like Boing 747 and hard to handle… but at the end you might just drop four tiny bombs. Barely 500lb per drop. Its quite pathetic.
(Edit: Also, still no napalm containers/fire bombs. Every fighter has these, but not our beloved Strike Jet Tornado)
