im still waiting for gaijin to give Tornadoes more guided weaponry, for example i have the MFG and zero guided munition, we have the AS.34 anti-ship missiles but we cant even use it agaisnt tanks, and if we could they would probably miss but still would be funny .
In the MFGs case, I think what we need more is an Anti-Ship missile overhaul (make them actually effective in that capacity) and then add a load more naval targets to the game. Especially in ARB.
After that, I think the MFG could only get HARMs and CBUs
i would like to see what weaponry the MFG version could carry but i looked on internet and couldnt find any info about Tornado variants, but seems like Tornadoes can carry lot of differents weapons, i dont see why the MFG couldnt get some AGMs or something
AGMs, they never used them. Some marketing material for them, maybe… maybe tested AGM-65 at one point (but difficult to prove) but thats it. The closest the Torandos got was PGMs (until Brimstones on the Tornado Gr4)
A lot of those weapon types shown are CBUs and weapon type we dont have but desperately needed.
Some of thsoe missiles shown are ASMs (AS-34 and Sea-Eagle) or HARM (AGM-88 or ALARM)
From I can tell, that is an ALL tornado IDS marketing thing. So you have weapon types only used by the RAF for example on there and not all Tornado variants were wired for a Tpod, even pavespike till much later (Tornado Gr1s dropped GBUs in Desert Storm, but with a Buc S2B buddy lasing the target)
All in all. For missing weapons for the Tornado IDS are basically the CBU (cluster bombs) that would be very cool to have and quite effective (epsecially the MW-1 on the German IDSs) or HARM that would enable you to somewhat more effectively deal with radar guided SPAAG / SAM

So sad the MFG couldnt carry any AGM or Guided bombs then.
Well, i hope they fix the AS-34 missiles then, because its the only exclusive thing it has and they fail 80% of the times xD
tried to use em lot of times on Sim battles
Yeah… ASMs are broken and its sad. (Martels on the Buc S2B are the same currently)
MFG enjoys the fact it doesnt have guided weapons, at least if you play it in air. So you get the 11.3 rating, very good in sim. Guided weapons like GBUs are apparently OP in an A2A role according to gaijin and thus aircraft like the Tornado Gr1 (which also have the worst engine out of all the IDSs for balancing reasons) is stuck at 11.7.
A premium F-16 would lose to a TT F-5 most of the time. It’s not the planes fault.
Also the audacity they had to sell this and almost immediately after nerf base bombing rewards xDD
i think if i remember it right the dev server had sth about increased bombing rewards, from the rpomised rework
This dev server just gone?
yeah from the dev server we had this week
Hmm… I didnt play it much, so missed that, but that would be good.
lemme see if i find it
thats the one,
but not completly sure if its a buff now
@gszabi99 would that system overall be a buff for dedicated bombing aircraft?
So things like the F4s get less reward but aircraft like the Tornado get more reward?
Actually not a bad change. Though… I doubt it is going to have any impact in Sim
well, if it wouldnt be for the premium bombing reward getting an additional x2 multiplier from what i understand
That is true. So it might even make it worse :D
the wtd61 will climb high in course and be great… now if only german top tier would be great to research
Lucky… B@… You get both a premium Tornado and one at a sensible BR.
God I hope the Gr1 gets a reason to be at 11.7 eventually or we get a Saudi Tornado gr1 as a premium at 11.3
Hopefully they change it so only air superiority focused fighters get the reduced reward and big multiroles meant to strike targets like the f4 don’t miss out on rewards
