Tornado MLU + other variants missing features

Marte Mk1, it’s a beam riding anti ship missile. For amx it is on a specialized A-11T variant with Grifo radar.

But it since it is beam riding, there could be a chance that the ELTA EL/M2001/B could guide it, but I doubt it would work like that. Plus the range would only be limited to 7.50 km then

Can this be mounted on a Brazilian AMX?

No but Brazil does has a anti-ship missile that can be mounted on the AMX which is really similar

MAR-1noCarrinho
MAR-1Piranha

Edit: I should also mention I have no knowledge about these at all, other coming across the fact they exist when I was researching AMX

Among the possible weapon loadouts of the AMX, anti-ship missiles (ASMs) were included. Leaving aside the Exocet, which isn’t relevant here, the Kormoran — a no beam rider — could work fine. However, if they keep insisting on the idea of not giving the Kormoran to Italy because of the infamous German Navy Tornado event, that would be a very questionable choice.

Historically, we’ve never had many stand-off weapons, and one of the few available ends up being locked behind an aircraft from another tree. Now, the German NavyTornado, who would have any real interest in it? Only a collector of German vehicles, since if someone really wanted to progress through the german tree, they could just buy the other premium Tornado or, even better, the Swiss F-18.

There’s no real competition between them anyway — that one also costs 48 coins, and demand hardly meets supply. Surely, no one is going to grind through the Italian tree in competition with the German one just for a Tornado with Kormorans, while this decision leaves the Italian community without any ASMs at all.

I know the report has been passed, but here is a great photo of the Tornado carrying Kormorans. Found whilst looking on the Panavia website.

Also I’m going to make a suggestion for the desert camo for the 1995 if it hasn’t already been made, it looks awesome

It’s more an early IDS camouflage
Desert Storm

in any case something is going on

⁠ANEMONE (Super Étendard), ARI 23274 (A-200A (1995) ("Italian IDS-Tornado (1995)"), A-200A ("Italian IDS-Tornado"), A-200C ("Italian IDS-Tornado MLU") (RET.8), IDS-Tornado (ASSTA 1), IDS-Tornado (ASSTA 1) (all nuke variants), IDS-Tornado (Marineflieger), IDS-Tornado (SLE), IDS-Tornado (WTD 61), Tornado G.R.

⁠•	⁠surface modes renamed to SEA standby/search/acquisition
⁠•	⁠surface search and track signals: minimum target width: 20 -> 40 m

SE is interesting, but for the rest, they just enabled the A2N mode for all remaining Tornados. Previously it was just the MFG and WTD61 that had it enabled.

They’ve also renamed it from SRC to SEA which is good.

Though the last point of change is… interesting

Oh yes that makes more sense

There were several Tornados in the Italian air force that kept the “Locusta” desert camo for years. Some beyond 1997
Including some that were updated to carry CLDP like the 1995 Tornado has.


But true that it would be more appropriate for the pod-less early IDS.

The late-90s green/grey camo with small roundels at the back of the fuselage would be nice the 1995 Tornado

Yes the paintjob is done only during main maintenance, so the canarini flow some year in that camo. there are also some “arlecchini” with nato camo and some jellow pieces
