The Panavia Tornado IDS is an attack craft, and part of the Tornado family of jets. The Tornado IDS family are variants of the British-used GR family used by Italy and Germany. Several members of the family are still in use today. This aircraft only appears in Airforce Delta Storm.
Design[]
It's a Tornado; the design differences between the craft are never majorly different. Long profile, swept wings, single vertical stabilizer, twin engines, the same deal as the others.
Performance[]
Right in the middle in terms of the Tornado craft. It's superior to the Tornado F3, but inferior to the Tornado ADV. You won't be unlocking the ADV for quite a while, so... This'll be the best Tornado you'll have for quite a while. Still, it's ultimately not long before you encounter better, so... Yeah. An averagely average plane overall.

Trivia[]
- Due to its nature as an attacker/ground strike aircraft, this plane uses air to surface missiles as its missiles, which appear to be based on the Brimstone.
