RJ-Panavia Tornado XL FGR1 7.2

243k RamboJutter  2 months ago

Introduction

Well i like the Tornado, i like the F-16XL, so why not merge the two and get the Tornado XL. I ended up with the back end / wings of the F-16XL and the front of the Tornado. I used a colour scheme that was used by the RAF while testing some GR4 Tornados prior to their delivery to the Saudi airforce, I thought it made a nice change from the two / three tone RAF / USAF builds i normally do.

Armed to the teeth like the aforementioned aircraft types, carrying JDAMs, AA missiles, a fuselage mounted cannon and the ability to carry much more when drop tanks removed (but obv. over a shorter range)

Features sequenced undercarriage, camo (obviously), a twitchy flying style (really nice at slow speeds), airbrakes built into the rudder etc.

Controls

AG1=start the engine
AG2= airbrake
AG6=drop droptanks

    @RamboJutter You're welcome. That is...completely fair (even ReinMcDeer set out explosion scale based on the type of warhead weight in his weapons balancing database).

    @HariTheSnakk Thanks :) yes, they are only JDAM 38s (small bomb), they are used for precision strikes rather than big bang collateral damage weapons (I think).

    Beautifully built craft that I could see existing even in our time. Only complaint I have are the JDAMs have lackluster explosives, is that intentional?
