THE SHOOTING RANGE 340: European MRCA

[@kommandantkillcode]

Q: Will the Tornado, F-16, and MiG-29 receive more flight model updates to increase their maneuverability and stability at certain speeds? The problem with the Tornado, in particular, is the weird flight model. In realistic and Full-real controls, the plane does wacky things that other jets do not, and in mouse-aim or simplified, the instructor restricts the maneuverability so much, that the plane struggles to do anything other than roll and try to force reversals when defending itself.

@@chiefturion7134 I don’t have the clearance xd. One other change that I’d like to be made to the F-16, and inverse for the MiG-29 is the low-speed handling. The F-16 should be worse at those speeds than the 29, and be able to be rated with by the swing-wings, while the MiG-29 is supposed to be the one that locks up more at high speeds and gets one-circled easily. Gaijin did the reverse with the flight models lol

The A-10 is the only one that isn’t currently, but all Gaijin can really do is make the health of the tail and wings better because all of the flight control wires are considered as one unit for disabling, and that’s how it is on every aircraft.

Excellent episode. Loving the Tornadoes in-game, too. ❤ Regarding strike aircraft (and this is something myself and others have asked many times before), when are you going to correct the Ki-102 Otsu's combat designation as "Strike Aircraft" as well as give it it's missing armament? It's currently designated as "Interceptor". The Ko model is the interceptor variant (which we're still waiting for to be added to War Thunder).

[@ArmorCast]

By what definition is the Tornado a third gen fighter? Both the Air Power Development Centre and Aerospaceweb (by far the most common definition schemes) consider it a gen 4, though perhaps not a great one

[@arktossgaming5936]

Personal opinion on the Tornado: Having worked on it irl im pretty pleased, yes, genuenly surpised on how well its outer appearance and cockpit is modeled. In game, i only own the Naval Tornado, wich btw. carried the same armaments as the ASSTA 1, so GBU bombs should be available. It only differed in the ability to carry AS.34 Kormoran missiles. Those are my biggest thing i have to be picky about, the missiles would need a fair bit of work. Their flight path is unlike described by the german military in their videos about the tornado on their official YT channel, also they always aim for the super structure so the only way to hit components is shooting them from top down, instead of shooting them flying low from kilometers away, casue they would fly over the ship. Besides that, im pleased with the imroved flight perfrmance with the latest patch, well done, it doesnt rip as fast anymore. Im kinda missing the terain following autopilot feature, but besides tat, it does what i needs to do wonderfdully, and that is being a bomber and bomb things. Spaded it in a few days doing base bombing and ground pounding in WT. To kep it short, it needs some work still, with armament and flight perfromance/characteristics, but it has been wonderfully implimented and im very happy and would like to thank the developers for giving germany a plane type that was needed. Thank you

[@kommandantkillcode]

[@milkelangelo1]

Gotta say, I love the Tornado, and the idea of it being present in the game, along the F-16, always hyped me. And now it's here! Can't wait to (maybe?) see the ADV variant as well: some define it as the "Tomcat with no Phoenix".

tornado suffers at 11.3

[@TomPrickVixen]

Flying the IL-2? NO WAY! I have standards (+there was only 2 of them in the game when I started to play so I never unlocked the rest). And for the Tornado ... I'd say it arrived too late, and it makes DoA. Germany and the British already had a plane for its role, and I rarely see Italian things in top tier, and all are easy targets in air RB. I like the plane it self tough, I even had a British one as a toy as a kid.

[@ODST_Parker]

The Tornado IDS variants in the tech tree are 11.3, but the event IDS is still 10.7 because it has no GBUs. Gaijin, GBUs do not affect air battles, so why is my Tornado IDS still 11.3 in air battles?

[@milkelangelo1]

because the br is unified for air and mixed battles

[@ODST_Parker]

@@milkelangelo1 And that's stupid. Why would I want to play an 11.3 plane which is 10.7 somewhere else? Why is it 11.3 due to purely air-to-ground ordnance? Why does that also apply to air battles? It makes no sense.

[@milkelangelo1]

What are you gonna do about it? I also think mixed battles should have a separate br from air, but it's not like we can make the change. Besides, the 10.7 one is from an event, meaning you either got it by playing enough during the event, or you gotta pay it (as well as find as seller), and we all know that paid stuff is designed to generally do better

The tornados thrust revers should work in the air as it is connected to the ground safety switch.

If it's an auto loader they don't lose any loading time even if you lose some crew. If 1 loader dies loading time is reset and loading is increased by a lot. If no loader can be replaced by let's say the commander then I believe it is doubled and if there is a replacement there is a smaller but still noticeable penalty.
