Panavia tornado

Recommended Posts

Will the 3rd-person viewpoint be really far-off like the earlier F-16, Hawk, and AMX models we've seen recently? I'd much prefer the viewpoint to be more like the Su-25 or A-10. I hate seeing my own aircraft from so far away, lol.

Also, will the Tornado feature new sounds, instead of just using the same sounds from the Hawk or AMX?

Yeah that's the one.  Here is a pic of it...in the pic itself is a picture of the damage it causes.  smile.gif  

I'm trying to find a better picture of the JP233 in action.

I got that pic at:

Fantastic detailed pics of the Tornado there...perfect for 3d modellers.

Oh...one note to the addon makers. The JP233 is NOT a cluster bomb. It dispenses bomblets from the sides of the pod while the pod remains on the aircraft. I believe it is jettisoned after usage but I'm not for certain on that. But if anyone adds this bady boy please don't make it into a big bomb that just falls off the plane. wink.gif

For general information, that version of the Tornado is the ADV, or Air Defense Variant. I think the Tornado IDS [inderDiction Strike] would have suited OFP slightly better, because strike missions are more prominent than air defense and interception missions. All in all, that is a truly IMPRESSIVE model! I haven't seen anything so good since the Hawk. Even the F-16 was a severe disappointment for me, but surely this will rock the OFP world! wink.gif

More Tornado pics:

Below is a pic with the Tornado with a JP233 dispenser

Below is the Tornado in "Wild Weasel" configuration with two HARM anti-radar missles. On the left wing it looks like an ECM pod but on the right wing I'm not sure what type of missle that is.  At rate a "Wild Weasel" Tornado would be awesome although difficult to make the weapons systems realistic where they only lock onto radars and AA systems.

i cant control what they put on the italian version, i am however going to set up a retexture and get new armaments modelled and textued for an RAF version, i think that lost brothers also want to do a german navy and air force version, i will definately be putting accurate weapon load outs and sounds on my raf tornado, i think addons that have the right names sounds and accurate effects are the best in ofp

yeah im going to model new weaponsi was thinking of making a modern raf version.... so at the minute i have for the 7 hardpoints...

1+2 = 2 brimstone systems (2X3missiles)

3+4 = 2 pavewayII 1000lb bombs

5 = ?

6 = ?

7 = ?

i have 3 spare hardpoints to use...i may do the jp 233 but i need better pictures, and i think that uses the centreline fuselage, so that may still leave me with two spare...

this is what they can use:

Nuclear bombs

Sidewinder air-to-air

ALARM or AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles

JP233 low-altitude airfield attack munitions dispenser

Paveway II and III laser-guided bomb

Maverick

Sea Eagle and Kormoran air-to-surface missiles

Napalm

2 Brimstone Systems (6 missiles)

2 Paveway III 2000lb Laser Guided Bombs

sounds good to me, good mix.

you could always come back to the JP-233s at a later date if you chose to and they arent exactly the most usefull weapon are they?
