AV-8A Harrier Gr.1: History, performance, and discussion

No, it should be 2.5, but scan though the pattern to make it effectively 4.6 because it’s not like it actually impacts the detector of the Sidewinder itself.

This sort of nutating effect is already in game with IRCM systems, and FoV reduction IRCCM. So it would absolutely be possible to model using existing methods.

This might be because seekers don’t have circular scan patterns in game. All this would do is make the acquisition circle 2X the size.

Yes, and every bit helps for aircraft that lack a HMD or radar. It tightens down once a lock on occurs

Yes could be a nice addition.

I feel many of the other issues would be more beneficial to fix first.

AV-8C fuel flow gauge still radioactive.

Another update, and still no ALE-37 CM pod for the AV-8C :(

It doesn’t even need a texture or model change, or anything like that. Just gotta port the functionality from the AV-8A over to it

The Harriers should also be able to carry 5 of them

And when ECM comes the AV-8C gets the DECM pod

Figured some here might like this, but I went back through my recently acquired AV-8A/C/S and TAV-8A/S modelling guidebook, and came across this photo of a Spanish AV-8S in US markings:

(Apologies for poor quality of photo, I took this while at a Waffle House)
