IIRC, AV-8B+ never had BOLs, but there were mentions that they were tested on him in ’99. (IDK, Av-8B+ or simple AV-8B was.)

Gaijin confirmed AV-8B Night Attack is a new premium pre-order pack for USA
This suggestion move to implemented soon
Part of me is a bit sad it’s the Night Attack instead of original Day Attack Harrier II, since it likely won’t get either of the really cool camouflage schemes (unless as marketplace skins)

Gaijin didn’t feel generous today so the av8b will only be able to Carry 4 small jdams
Instead of 8 or 10
AGM-65D & AGM-65F replace with AGM-65E2 & AGM-65F on USMC AV-8B+
For AV-8B Night Attack (NA), AGM-65F instead AGM-65G

What was the difference between f and g?
Pretty sure the e was a laser guided g(big penetrating warhead) meverick
Its nothing all too relevant to the game, just that the Safety and Arming system is to NAVY specifications and that they are HERO certified for storage and use aboard ships.
Shouldn’t AV-8B NA have the RR-408 engine?
Currently in game it has RR-406
According to first source (Hawker Harrier: Warfare With Vertical Velocity, Aeroplane Icon), from 15th airframe and onwards, the NA Harriers used 408
Another source (World Air Power Journal Vol.32) also states that NA had RR-408

what are they used for?
Performing Search and Tracking operations optimized for targeting Naval (Surface) and Ground targets. Basically they can be used to help improve targeting accuracy and decrease pilot workload in setting up attacks / locks onto specific targets off boresight.

- AV-8B (NA) — thrust has been increased, engine has been changed to F402-RR-408.
A nice change for AV-8B (NA)
Now it uses same engine as AV-8B Plus
