Our take on Tornado

The detailed cockpit, planning, and mission systems trade immediate pick-up-and-play simplicity for a more structured flight experience. That focus also limits the game to Tornado-centered military aviation rather than a wider selection of aircraft or activities.

What is Tornado?

Tornado combines aircraft simulation with combat and multi-mission campaigns, including the Operation Desert Storm scenario.

Players can fly alone or coordinate multiple aircraft across missions involving aircraft and ground vehicles. The two-seat cockpit supports pilot and navigator or weapons officer roles. Available systems include general-purpose bombs, cluster bombs, JP2333, ALARM, air-to-air missiles, and laser-designated bombs. Mission planning, terrain-following autopilot, navigation and attack systems support flight preparation and execution. Landscapes contain natural and man-made features, while night and low-visibility conditions alter missions. The game also includes simulator training and a two-player head-to-head dogfight option.

How Tornado plays

01Multi-mission campaigns: Campaign scenarios combine aircraft operations with ground vehicles and coordinated attacks.
02Two-seat cockpit: The aircraft supports separate pilot and navigator or weapons officer positions.
03Mission planning: A dedicated planning system prepares sorties before flight.
04Terrain-following autopilot: Autopilot functions include terrain following along with navigation and attack systems.
05Variable flight conditions: Missions can take place at night or in low visibility across detailed rolling landscapes.
06Two-player dogfights: A head-to-head mode supports competition between two players.
