==History==
−
The Tornado F3 (herein designated "'''TND-F3'''") is a combat aircraft used by the [[Usean Rebel Forces]] in ''Ace Combat 2'', which is uncommonly encountered as an enemy. It makes appearances as an enemy in the missions "[[Bear Tracks]]", "[[El Dorado]]" and "[[Dark Star]]", the second of which features two [[ace]] units named "Max & Goose".
  
  +
Tornado F3's were sporadically deployed by the [[Yuktobanian Air Force]] during the [[Circum-Pacific War]]. Some of which were assigned to patrol around [[Glubina]] POW camp and were subsequently shot down by the [[Wardog Squadron]] in the ensuing POW rescue operation.{{ref|AC5-M14|[[Ice Cage]]. ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''.}} During [[Jilachi Desert Invasion]], several Yuktobanian Tornado F3s were sent to intercept an Osean bomber formation approaching their HQ at [[Jilachi Desert]].{{ref|AC5-M16A|[[Desert Arrow]]. ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''.}}
   
  +
The [[Leasath Air Force]] was also known to use the aircraft during the [[Aurelian War]], which also included an ace pilot with the callsign Gacrux.{{ref|ACX-M09A|[[Blitz]]. ''[[Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception]]''.}}
−
It is made available for player acquisition in [[Extra mode]], replacing the [[F-14A Tomcat]] as the reward for completing "[[Rising High]]". The TND-F3 is a farily average fighter with overall decent performance. It handles air and ground combat equally well, gains altitude quickly and is very stable. As well, it has strong engines. On the downside, pilots should be wary about its lack of maneuverability and weak armor.

In ''Ace Combat 5'', the Tornado F3 is an unlockable Fighter-type aircraft, which is a member of the "Tornado" series family. It can be unlocked in the Hangar menu by filling the [[Kill Rate Gauge]] of the [[Tornado GR.1]], having a price of 16,500$ [[credits]] per unit.

'''Statistics'''
−
The air combat-centered aircraft of the Tornado series, it is a mid-level unit whose advantages include fairly powerful engines, dogfighting ability and extremely high armor value for an aircraft of its class, as well as relatively average flight stability. Befitting its specialty, [[Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile|XMAA]] missiles become its special weapons. However, it is not very agile and lacks the Tornado aircraft's characteristic surface assault capabilities.

The Tornado F3 is an available aircraft in ''Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception'', in which it is classified as a Fighter unit, like its previous incarnation. It is unlocked as a reward for the completition of mission 07A, "[[Standoff in the Skies I]]", and has a price of 22,500$.

−
The F3's performance has been generally downgraded, suffering varying levels of reduction. Its air-to-air ability has been greatly stunted, its speed reduced and its air-to-ground capability lessened still. As a pro, it retains its high speed and durable protection. Alongside XMAA missiles, its weapons arsenal has been expanded to include [[Semi-Active Air-to-Air Missile]]s and the [[Electronic Counter Measure Pod]] for protection.

The Tornado F3 is a long-range, twin-engine swing-wing fighter produced by Panavia.

History

Tornado F3's were sporadically deployed by the Yuktobanian Air Force during the Circum-Pacific War. Some of which were assigned to patrol around Glubina POW camp and were subsequently shot down by the Wardog Squadron in the ensuing POW rescue operation.[1] During Jilachi Desert Invasion, several Yuktobanian Tornado F3s were sent to intercept an Osean bomber formation approaching their HQ at Jilachi Desert.[2]

The Leasath Air Force was also known to use the aircraft during the Aurelian War, which also included an ace pilot with the callsign Gacrux.[3]
