Im going to start putting in the new bug reports and also linking ones that already have been filed, might need some more sources but will update as I go
Where does the pod go with two of them? Or is the plan to drop them as dumb bombs with CCIP?
Yeah, you wouldnt be able to run a tpod.
IRL, that configuratioin was used on the Tornado Gr1 in OP Granby with Buc S2Bs buddy lasing. But that was with the GBU-24s and so no GPS.
Im not sure what the Italians used to do the same in that situation, maybe a tornado that buddy lased for entire flight? But GPS guidance does open up other options. Likewise I don’t know what the GR4 would do in that situation with the EGBU-24s
In game, some GPS guided weapons like the GBU-39 can be used without a tpod and rely upon CCRP to target a position. This would work with the EGBU-24s as well, but so far Gaijin forces a tpod for any bomb that has laser included, regardless of whether or not it has GPS as well.
What would probably be needed due to game limitations is a pure-GPS version of the bomb, but I dont think that would be all that big of an issue. Would be interesting to have on the Tornado A200C/Gr4 and Typhoons as well.
They for sure had a amx or fellow tornado laser, if not someone on the ground do the same. In Kosovo before amx had the cldp pod, a tornado would lase for them.
In game this would probably result in it just being a gps guided bomb. But with them testing infantry for April fools, maybe there is a chance in the future fellow squadron mates and team members on the ground could lase for you

It is possible, but for now Id look towards getting GPS only versions of the EGBU-24, I dont see buddy lasing coming soon

Let’s see if they remembered to update the RET8. Smin had told me that the changes would only be included in a major update—obviously, assuming the devs actually wanted to implement them. As of today, the reports are still marked as accepted, but only the pod has been implemented.NOTE THAT I haven’t had any confirmation from Smin, just a clarification about the potential implementation timeline from him.

Yeah, typically changes like this come with a major update. But yeah fingers crossed. I’m interested in what changes they will and will not make.
no changes listed in the new dev server post….what to say….
Might some in the dev server, not everything is listed. Will check later
At least we got the F-2A (a plane that was claimed to be too op to be added, but now isnt even at top tier).
Looking through tornados, of course we got absolutely no changes. I hope that the devs will salvage this before the update
I totally agree, there is no info in the dev servers changelog about changes on Tornado RET.8, for example in cockpit view Tornado RET.8 still has the issue in which there is a wrong livery on it…
They added PHIMAT chaff dispenser to Mirage F1 and Harrier Gr.7 but no Boz-102EC at the moment for the Tornado RET.8
@Smin1080p_WT Hi Smin, any hope to have the boz some new weapons for the Tornado Ret.8. Thank you

Does anyone know any news about fixes to my beloved Tornado IDS RET.8?
I did check when Dev server started and saw no change
Will check later for you
No changes yet, though that is the case for a LOT of other aircraft. they seem to have done nearly 0 aircraft bug fixes this major
:( I just need some more Flares for my Tonka and boz-102EC are a good option teorically
Yeah, no reason not to get them. MAWS too
Not a single change to A-200C, pretty much applies to Italian tech tree as a whole and all other tornados. Seems we will have to wait until winter

Yeah. They’ve dropped the ball in terms of aircraft related bug fixes.
Nothing for the A200C
Nothing for the Typhoons
Nothing for the Harriers.
Real shame, especially as so few new aircraft are coming either
For tornado gr.1 all they have to do is change a 1 to a 3 and type in a new value. I mean they either incredibly lazy or just don’t care anymore
