Offensive armament
The Tornado ADV is armed with:
- A choice between two presets:
- 1 x 27 mm Mauser BK27 cannon, cheek-mounted (180 rpg)
- 1 x 27 mm Mauser BK27 cannon + 32 x large calibre countermeasures
Suspended armament
Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.
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:
- Great air-to-air armament options which includes AIM-9L and SuperTemp
- Advanced radar
- Access to countermeasures
- 27mm cannon which can be used both got air and ground targets
- Decent climb rate
Cons:
- Cannot turn well when flying at high speeds
- No proper air-to-ground armament options
- Wings and other important modules are prone to shatter at high speeds
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
