Thank you so much for publishing that here! It was a great read. Hearing about how different fighter Viggen is makes me want it like crazy! That auto targeting cannon sounds crazy!

 

I personally would be already happy with a "not-so-hyper-sensible-turbojetengine-with-its-super-strong-intention-to-stall-all-the-time" ... :music_whistling:

But the idea of having the JA version would make waiting for the long-waited Tornado very sweet. AND: What I heard is ... and this is not new ... that the guys are starting to think about producing the Tornado ...

 

Come on guyz!! :smartass: There is no way around the Tornado. You can't run away. Don't hide. It will not hurt, ... too much. :)

OK, just joking.

The JA 37 had automatic targeting for the gun? that's freaking awesome!

That is indeed very unique and astonishing for an 80s jet. I don't think any of the modern jets has something like that?

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
