GR4 Weapons
-
Hello
Does anyone know how to operate the Brimstone and Storm shadow for the Tornado GR4 on BMS 4.33? Struggling with the aircraft overall but trying various weapons just trying to get more RAF style in game.
Thanks guys!:D

I would like to know too. I tried a mission (Balkans, OCA) with 2x Storm Shadows. There were a couple modes listed on the wpn page which I assumed meant pre-planned , sorry I can’t recall the actual terminology, I got to within 30 or so nm from the target and released. There was no lock indications or anything, and I followed the weapon view as long as I could. They just seemed to fly right over the airfield and kept on going.
However the mission results recorded 100% hits and both runways were destroyed. Can’t figure it out but not going to complain about the “Excellent” rating! -

I’m guessing it behaves like a JSOW in Bms?? -

Brimstone used to behave like a maverick in 4.32, failing that, treat it like an LGB ( it supports LOBL/LOAL in real life - similar to a hellfire).mi haven’t given either a go, so let me know how it behave in .33!
But we all know RAF style is Low-level passes or lofted iron bombs! Try it ‘old school’ in the Tornado once - it’s a real thrill pushing M.85 less than 200ft off the deck. There’s supposedly footage of an American AAA gun cam trying to ‘shoot down’ a tornado at a red flag doing low passes - and failing because the turret couldn’t traverse fast enough!
Just pop as many flares as you can on the pass to keep you clear of MANPADS, and grab a ridge/terrain on the way out!

Will defo try this.
Mate of mine was trying for an hour or so trying to get the Brimstone to work, going back and forth between the manual with Mavericks and the training mission.Gr4 is pretty awesome in the campaign…

Has anyone tried the JP233? Cant seem to see the pods on the rail, it only loads up 1 sub munition.
I remember reading the book “Tornado Down” and trying to do it in the old dos game Tornado, 600kts and 50 ft down the centerline in the dark and finally surviving with the munitions going off behind you, flak and sams crisscrossing your egress. Was enough to make you dizzy. I still think fondly of the game, still the best GR1 mechanics ever on a pc. -

Storm Shadow should work like JSOW, but powered. Brimstone can be employed in the same way as the AGM-65 Maverick.

@Tronald:

Sort of.
You need to edit the game and add Jp-233m to the hard points (no more than 20 per pylon). It can then dispense them like a retarded bomb. But it looks weird and doesn’t do as much damage.
I know molni’s 80s campaign in .32 had working Jp-233 so maybe we will all just have to hold on to that
