My theory is that because how common and accessible it is (Tornado IDS). Unfortunately, the tornado series are horrible gunfighters. Also, the other planes that mount them, like EFT, while being decent fighters, guns are less relevant at the tier.
That makes sense, however I love intercepting in the Tornado then running away. Play it like an F-104 and the guns are just perfect. They vomit out shells which tear through everything. Especially the IDS variants with the twin cannons.
DEFA I guess is pretty similar.
Using it on the Mirage III and kfir is a big risk move. It will even easily lose head on duels to F-4C (a clown plane flown by inexperienced players), you can literally see the tracers flying around the target and hoping at least one shell connects.
ADEN 25 on the Harrier GR.7 is so nice tho :) Real shame it gets like 3s trigger time though
Yeah its really funny. I consider the 30mm ADEN one of the hardest (if not the hardest) guns to use on the British TT but consider the 25mm ADEN the best
Was playing the T10 yesterday and absolutely destroyed an F-4 that did a quick pass in front of my nose

Yea the ADEN 25 is among the best or the best, I just find the BK27 really easy to use. Pretty funny the Aden 25 never made it to service yet its found on the T.10 and GR.7 in game
There was a gunpod made for the Gr7/9 and co, just was never used operationally, or something and was used on the Hawks too and something else im forgetting. But NATO Standardization for you. It does make sense that the 27mm just became the standard for basically everyone. If it hadnt, I could see the 25mm ADEN being in the running for main gun for whatever our 4th gen would have been. (though they may have still kept the 27mm just for easy logistics from the Tornado)
EAP with an ADEN 25 would be like a wet dream

Jousting with F-4C, which has M61A1 and claiming F-4C as a clown plane flown by a clown is wild.
Especially when you knows M61A1 is superior to nearly every other guns.
Yes, but there is still a chance I can force tie with him. But that chance is lower than even if I had GSH 23 (there’s a fair chance I may win a head on duel with an A-10)
It’s either kill or get killed in these tiers, if I extend the dogfight (delta wings suck at energy retention) chances are I’ll be shot up by an Aim 9L from elsewhere
I mean to be honest headoning an F-4C or anything with vulcans is a horrible idea. If its an F-4C, Dodge the headon then thrash it with your flight performance

Just put the nose on him and kill him, shoot him!!
Head-on against M61 is not a tie, it is just a suicide attack.
Whoever said the Vulcan… Just… Huh? It’s arguably the best.
Yea I was questioning that too. I see a lot of hate for the NEXTER in game but none here suprisingly

Mostly because guns are not too relevant at top tier, and the fact that it’s only one rafale, a very top tier plane at end of ffeench tree
The nr30 with 60 rounds and a low velocity is pretty sad
Fortunately it’s okay at shooting slow A10s, but I guess that’s about it
The Colt 20mm MK 11 MOD 5 cannon pod on the British and American naval F-4J/S Phantom should also get a shout-out. They have a pretty fast firing rate of 4000 RPM but have terrible dispersion spray and damage output than compared to the M61A1 Vulcan on most other 10.0+ BR jets.
I love the sound of BK27. Regardless of its performance. It sounds clean and crisp.
Worst gun… I’d say ADEN. I can play better with NR30 most of the times. It has better damage and seems more accurate, while having less firing rate and muzzle velocity being on par…
DEFA 552A is a strong contender in being as bad.
GSh-23-2 , while many people dislike it and i get why, the fire rate saves it… if you connect it will be enough shells. But it needs very specific aiming, more lead than the others ,thing that is not optimal.
But yeah, ADEN is the worst imho…
