Usage in battles

This Tornado sits at a lower BR than the other Tornados. In secluded 1-vs-1, energy trapping an opponent is a viable option. However, one needs to be aware of their surroundings so as not to be third-partied while at a lower speed.

It is advisable to bomb enemy bases, since the Tornado is not very good in air combat. Since you will almost always be ahead of your team, it is advisable to throw flares when you are going to bomb a base. Once the bases are bombed there are two options:

1. Return to base, resupply and continue bombing
2. Try to support allies in air combat with missiles.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Good acceleration and excellent top speed
• Mauser BK27 guns have decent hitting power and ammunition capacity
• Impressive bombload and access to AS.34 Kormoran anti-ship missles
• Access to two AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missles stock

Cons:

• Bad maneuverability, makes air-to-air combat challenging
• No access to guided bombs
• AS.34 Kormoran missles are rather unreliable weapon, even against the ships
• Negative G manoeuvres can rip your wings off

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
