      they should also remove the artificial nerfs on the A-10s and make them the same BR.
      Spread out ground targets (and add more) so theyre not all under the middle of the map where the inevitable furball happens
      add closer bases/priority bombing targets (like bridges) closer to your spawn for you to attack, that are only destroyable and visible to slow attack aircraft (and the team that needs to defend them) at top tier like the A-10s and anything that comes in the future that are THAT slow but too advanced to be in the prop BRs. Basically there should be bases YOU need to defend that are closer to the enemy air field but can only be seen by their A-10s since they cant actually get to normal bases or targets in time to bomb them.
      As a whole alot needs to be changed about Air RB to allow aircraft to do their roles rather than it being a "fighters or nothing" mode. (Su-25s and A-6Es dont need this because they are twice as fast as the A-10, and in the case of the SU-25 it can actually be a fighter and is severely under-BR'd with better missiles than Aim-9Ls)

    9:40 GBU-16 are still 1000 lb Mk 83 based bombs so perfectly adequate. The issue according to Hunter is that Gaijin nerfed the penetration around a month ago for direct hits (i.e. Impact or 0 Sec Fuze), so you are better off using and actual fuze setting and thus bouncing the bomb underneath the tank.

    The large tail and rear control surfaces look like they should have a large impact on the flight model. While I don't expect it to be up there with the greatest AC planes, it should not be that bad.
    The IDS /GR1>GR4 - I believe had devices on the air intakes that when removed (which in RAF service, I believe were removed) limited the plane to mach 1.3 (which at low altitude is still a very fast bird.). When carrying loads - speeds were limited to below this as each one had a max recommended IAS.
    I'll be interested to see if the F3 turns up. While it sometimes lacked thrust - it had the ramps in the intakes and I believe at low level - it was a speed demon. Higher up not so much, but still a mach 2.2 plane. It should be quite a missile truck..

    • @FullThrottleRacing535

      It was the IDS that was fast on the deck and slow up high, the IDS engines were configured for low altitude since it was a low alt bomber as you know, the F2 variant of the ADV used the IDS engines, however the F3 was faster up high than it was down low since those engines were configured for high alt

      @AdmV0rl0n 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@FullThrottleRacing535 I don't believe this is really correct. The engines got 'tweaked' but not much, and the variable air intakes played a large part in the engine flight performance. In the GR1-4 I believe part of the airframe actually messed up air intake into engine 2 which played a part in its issues. The F3 low down was described by a pilot as 'nothing faster than that.'
      Some bold claims. I believe the acceleration claimed would be low level -
      What I do remember us being told on a visit to Leuchars soon after the ADV arrived:
      1. It could out-accelerate anything in NATO short of an F-15
      2. The stretched fuselage had lower drag than the IDS; in fact it was proposed to Japan as an IDS+ for their F-X competition
      3. It could out-turn the UK-Phantom at all speeds and altitudes and the Lightning in some regimes
      4. It could out-roll a Hunter and catch it in a scissor..

      Nah, he was right. The F.3 sucked at anything above medium altitudes, wasn't uncommon to have to plug one engine into reheat just to stay plugged into a tanker. On the deck though it was the only thing in NATO that could run down an F-111.
      At the end of the day its easier to turn a large fighter into a bomber (F-15E) than a bomber into a fighter (Tornado).

      @@FallenPhoenix86 We call that a JaBo or a “fighter-bomber”. Drop the ordnance and you almost have a fighter again.
      The tornado was meant to go really low, skimming over hills and ridges and hide in valleys, following a flight plan that kept it in radar shadow as much as possible, go fast and rip the enemy a new one. Especially against more static targets.
      And then the Alarm missile - you can use it as a HARM, you can also send it to a point where it will zoom-climb and dangle from a chute … waiting for anyone to turn on their radar, then it will drop the chute, possibly fire a second ‘stage’ to get momentum downwards and smash into the radar.
      And I agree, the tornado as shown here is not half the fun. Try bomb tossing (the on-board computer supports this) Or vertical dive bombing.
      It is not a dog fighter and even the ADV is more a BVR missile carrier than a fighter. Yes, you may have to think about your next moves in advance … not as much as the African Queen, though. Your job is to get in, screaming like a banshee, if possible from 3 or 4 directions within a few seconds, confuse the AA, have an ALARM or 3 loitering, and make them shoot everywhere and nowhere - if they manage to react at all, drop your bombs/ordnance on the targets, get out of sight again, go home, repeat…
      The JP233 is fun (and not compatible with the land mine treaty), basically dropping 30 shaped charge cratering in a row, which blast hole, the second stage, a cylindrical charge falls into the hole and goes off, increasing the crater and lifting the rim … harder to repair than just “pour in some quick-set concrete.
      The second part is what runs afoul of the treaty: 215 submunition mines, they self-effect, explode when disturbed or a timer runs out and if you drive into them with a bulldozer, they’ll be pointing their shaped charge in your direction (simple physics) and go off. Not so good when you want to clean the runway asap …

      @@FallenPhoenix86 Sucking is a point of view. Careful review is required, and a lot depends on where in development cycle. For clarity, it was able to stay on station, with refueling to a level that made it a good plane in its role (lets be honest, mostly escorting bear Ds or similar..) - and sitting over the falklands. It was a missile truck once developed, with a bunch of missiles and ability for its job.
      My understanding was that its mid and high acceleration were 'ok', but there was a gap at mach 1.2 where the intake change is needed. It could on burners push towards the fabled mach 2.2 - but this was fuel limited (mostly). At low atititude, from what I read - it was both a very fast accelerating plane, and one with an exceptionally high speed at low altitude. 'We could chase down anything' speed.
      While people viewed its job as high/medium. Given the missile truck status, I'd make a semantic argument that while its peacetime Bear D role was playing out, this amplified critical commentary of the type, if the missiles flew, my guess would be enemies would try low level. And if so the thing could amply do that role. In saying that, the plane had servicablility issues all its service life, so bending it at low level probably would be unhelpful....

    To all the people in this trashcan of a comment section rambling about keeping this jet at its current br, what is wrong with you?
    I mean seriously, what is your problem? Your only argument for keeping the current br is because it carries 4 small GBUs, completely ignoring the fact that the jaguar carries 2 large ones along with 2 35Gs missiles at 10.3, but yeah, a completely unrealistic, bugged and unfinished flight model of the tornado cannot stay at 10.7 (the maximum br of italian ground forces btw), because 10.7 is its br AT MOST, you know it, yet some of you keep repeating that 11.3, (against f14, f16 and mig29) is a good br.
    I'm not going to argue with any of you, mostly because I've made up my mind, but please answer me this.
    Why some of you want some nations to perform so badly? Because it looks to me that this community seems more eager to label all gaijin's fuckups towards nations that aren't usa or russia as "acceptable", and I need to know why. Is it because you want to have an easier time with your nation? Is it a winrate thing? Tell me, I'm all ears.

    The Tornado GR1 is an abysmal plane in warthunder. Not an "apex predator" by any stretch, and it's slower than an F4 Phantom (or it's variants), so they will often take the bases. The GR1 also has painfully limited flares, which is miserable at high tiers missile spam meta. Your really just food for the mig29 (infact all high tier migs), the F16 and F14.

    It has no place at 11.3, and shouldn't be facing such stiff opposition in Air RB. I can easily see this thing dropping to 11.0 in the next BR update, possibly even 10.7 if it does bad enough.

    What I thought was interesting was how the USAF could've operated the Tornado as they were looking for a new strike jet during the pre-Strike Eagle era to replace the F-111, but I do think that the SE is a very good ground attack jet and was worth the investment.

Coming back to this is just a horrendous Nostalgia trip. Gaijin has a habit of botching British aircraft because of how they treat the manuals, such as how the British Tornado apparently has a lower wing rip speed to the German variant only because the British manual lists a lower top speed. The issue is, it seems like the Royal Airforce have a habit of listing speeds lower than their actual in order to stop pilots from breaking the toys, when in reality the aircraft were capable of far more, but that 'far more' falls outside of what was the accepted bracket of pilot safety for usual operation.

    The Tornado Flight Model is terribly bad giving it such poor maneuverability, when in real life it is not so agile but it turns much faster with the wings swept to the maximum and there are videos that prove it. It should have a twist a bit less than the Phantom II.

Britain doesn’t feel good to play at the moment, currently just over 30% WR because of facing endless F14s and F16s and even with when teamed with MiG29s we just annihilated within the first 15 seconds of combat and sometimes I’m lucky to even make it to a base to get bombs off before I’m jumped or hard radar locked with a missile and forced to break off.

    I'm not 100% confident on this, but I'm pretty sure the LGB selection on the Tornados isn't quite right. Germany never bought GBU-16s in the first place, so the IDS in the german tree shouldn't have them, and about the larger LGBs, all of the Tornados should be able to take 2 under the fuselage, 3 in the later models with better bombs (because JDAMs don't need a designator pod). What I have more doubts about is the British GR.1 having 4xMk.13, according to the plane's wiki and other sources like Airvectors, the first british variant to carry the smaller LGBs was the GR.4 with the Paveway IV, but well... It's all a bit sketchy.
