[2021] The Panavia Tornado - Technology, History and Performance - Discussion

We don't add aircraft based on their weapons systems.

We added the Swifts for example at the same time we were already introducing supersonic aircraft.

Its not always about adding progressively better meta advancing or top end aircraft, but also progressing through generations and time periods as well as sometimes working back too (like with the Swifts).

So I would recommend you stop judging the introduction of any aircraft, no matter how balanced you see it, by its missile loadout.
