I don't think there is another aircraft out there that excels the Tornado when it comes to low level flying :pilotfly:

 

SEPECAT Jaguar (and it can take-off/land on grass - can't get much lower than that!)

 

 

A Tornado would be very nice.

I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings

With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!

Tornado = Great! I finally wanna fly a plane for my country! :D

 

Hope everything works well!

Never parachute into an area you've just bombed

You never have too much fuel, unless you burn.

Likewise...

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

I will be a customer of this product too.

Anything with a Rotary Wing is fun and challenging.

Use SRS radio.

I would pre order it for sure.

My guess is, that it would sell to the not so small British and the German communities in larger numbers.

 

Don't forget the italian (and saudi?) community members! :D

I would like the ECR version the most. The Su25T is the only aircraft capable of doing the SEAD role. Some more options for SEAD and a Agm-88 Harm platform would be very welcome. Another air to ground version would be nice as well. The ADF version I will not buy.

Mirage 2000N/D ;)

 

So fast in low-level penetration that it's a pain to plan COMAO's with other NATO mudmovers, because they can't follow :D

Mud, wind and fire.

Well about low and moving mud, the tornados were supposed to get new engines. I can not tell which, cause I remember it was some sort of classified or not really, but there were plannings to exchnage the engines and get new once which are in use with a different plane at the moment. the increase of power would have been like the followed stated.

the old full ab thrust would have been equal to the dry trust of the new engines. now imagine the full ab of the new engines, plus the tornado would stand the structural stress.

I guess no plane would match that in low level ever but in the end politicians thought it was to expensive.

Tornado is official confirmed as module or not?

 

Not quite there yet, but it seems likely that it will happen, judging by what Polychop have been saying in this thread.

I would think the Buccaneer would be the best at low level.

Hm, the only western engines with ~77kn dry thrust are the latest versions of the F100 and F110 which are about 1.5m longer than the RB199...

So I guess they were talking about the still theoretical EJ200 upgrade @80/120kn (which is a public proposal from Eurojet.)

 

^Not even sure if the Typhoon user forces want this, since it increases fuel consumption. French posters have said the French AF turned down a 75 to 90kn engine upgrade for the Rafale, for that reason.

The USN has also turned down a 100 to 110 or 120kn upgrade of the F414.

The IDS-Version is also capable of using HARMs (or ALARMs in case of the RAF). it just doesn't has the dedicated EW-equipment of the ECR-Tornado which can precisely locate, identify, analyze and jam enemy SAMs. The RAF did exactly that. They used the IDS-variant for SEAD with their ALARMs instead of acquiring the specialised ECR-Variant.

 

I don't think the ECR-Tornado would be of much use in DCS, because EW isn't really simulated in DCS, so it could not make use of it's capabilities besides shooting HARMs which the IDS can do as well.

Why? The Buccaneer can't fly supersonic at low level if at all. I think it's navigation systems are inferior to the Tornado. I mean there is a reason why the Tornado replaced the Buccaneer ;)
