Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

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

• Lower BR than other Tornado variants

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's 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
