Yeah the harrier is in a miserable spot in game more so the harrier 1 with the smaller wing than the harrier 2.
Using the nozzles doesn’t do anything that it does IRL. The little wing harrier with 60 degrees nozzle angle can actually just about match the instantaneous turn rate of the F-16A (IRL that is) in game it cant even match the F-105
let me know when you ready.
im ready, i will send you inv
This is you right?
yes thats me
Aight, lmk when you are logged in
im in the hanger right now lol
Did you got the invite?
think you have to add me as a friend first
What matchups did u end up testing
lots the outcome was to be expected the harrier is abysmal dog-crap.
Has some capability against maybe a 3rd gen but that’s only if they decide to turn.
Peoples in game opinion of the harrier is true and accurate its useless in a fight. Both the mirage and EF can easily decelerate faster than the harrier which is complete nonsense when you know anything about the harrier but ohh well.
If gaijin ever stops being stupid and fixes the harriers it’ll likely be a completely different story against the 3rd gens and early 4th gens.
After doing the 1v1 with the EF, it looked like i had the VTOL
Was a bit goofy yes.
Going from like 300 knots to 100 knots in like a second and pointing up at 60 degrees lol
Btw, i will upload the EF vs AV-8 later on so you can check the AoA button, im in a tournament and my internet would die
Aoa limiter and its consequences on society
Yes on an unstable plane limited to 25 degrees AOA IRL lol.
I just tested the AoA , it pulls 28 for a split second and then goes down to 26.5
In game yeah.
Wouldn’t be surprised if its overperforming in lift like the F-16.
But we are talking general in game performance i suppose it just smokes the Harrier in game but this is like already known.
yes, every thing i say is in game since sadly i am not a fighter pilot irl
Can you imagine if one of the infamous bad takes haver the forum has are genuine fighter pilots irl that would be so funny.
It would be.
Here’s a real Sea Harrier pilots (war hero) take on the state of the harrier.

@Morvran You where correct a while ago its 3-1 VS the F-15 but that’s the squadron average rookies and whatnot included. Sharkey has 25-1 over the 15.
