schroedi Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I wouldn't say the Tornado was desinged with the Viggen in mind, it's more like a smaller version of the F-111. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 They were designed with some of the same Mission types in mind and both being designed for Low altitude high speed interdiction style missions (As well as having Anti-Ship Capability though that ability was more important for the Viggen then it was for the Tornado). But that type of mission / doctrine (High speed low altitude) was pretty standard during the cold war. The Viggen and Tornado has some other similarities though like making a Strike aircraft and then following it up with a Fighter/Interceptor variant. So no the Tornado was not inspiried by the Viggen or the other way around they were just both developed to meet some of the same requirements but they did them in different ways and had different capabilities.

QuiGon Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Leatherneck Sims are making an AI for the backseat chap for their F-14 module. Razbam could do something similar if they felt it was warrented, if not, it'll just be like the L-39. Which would make the Tornado useless, because it's not a trainer like the L-39 where both crewmen are pilots and can fly the aircraft. The Tornado has only one true pilot and a weapon system officer (WSO), who has no flight controls but is very busy controlling all kind of systems (navigation, comms, radar, weapons, countermeasures and more). So if you're solo and there is no AI, then you can't do much with the Tornado, unlike the L-39. 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Still would like to see a backseat AI for it though. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangi Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 And a front seat AI, so I can sit in the back twiddling knobs and tell it where to point the nose. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STNGersk Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi Guys!! I'm living in UK and not that far from Royal Air Force Museum, but originally from Portugal and my home is near the Portuguese Air Base one of the best we have the BA5 Monte Real, of course we use in our fleet F-16 MLU, now my two big dreams in the DCS is F-16 now become reality and the Panavia Tornado :) and I not that long a goo went to museum and I have look in the Tornado and walked around it and the one I have been looking was the one that flowed in Gulf War and was "conserved" back in 2010, this also was deployed to Nellis AFB, Nevada, USA for Exercise Red Flag 93/1, now this is Tornado F.3/F.3 (T), and I have some photos of one interesting Tornado F2A variant that was build back in 1984 and this is the only F2A variant Tornado aircraft in existence, this would be an very interesting plane to have due 1st being unique and have some of different systems on board have a look pics in the link below :book: https://www.jetartaviation.co.uk/what-we-do/aircraft/ So hope this would be cool and detailed source for one kind of Tornado :joystick: GIVE US!

Harlikwin Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Honestly I think Razbam has their current plate full, they have like 3 other planes "more developed" than this. Plus they would have to develop their own "jester" or license it from HB to do it any justice. There's plenty of planes to go around, and Razbam should probably focus on single seaters IMO.

QuiGon Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 RAZBAM has so much other stuff to do. I hope Heatblur will make the Tornado.

UrgentSiesta Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Given South Atlantic terrain (and whatever a/c might release with it), Super Tucano, Mig-23, and F-15E, they'd need AWACS to keep the Tornado on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
