Im pretty sure they will add it in the mean time, it.might come on the tech tree.

The Harriers 2s underperform in turn rate.
The Day Attack Harrier II would be perfect in the TT. Slightly worse engine, less CMs, maybe slightly lower in BR.
Do a bug report plz, i need my Harrier to dogfight like an angel. My fav plane by far 😍
Did they also already carry targeting pods, or were only the NA’s equipped with them? Could be an argument to get lower BR than the AV-8B (NA) variant…

I did however the source I have was apparently restricted so it was shut down. What I can tell you is that at .7 Mach the IRL AV-8B NA can sustain almost 5G at 5000 feet at over 20,000 lbs weight. With combat thrust 60% ish throttle in game when you work out the RPM of the engine. In game they will not even sustain 4G so its missing over 1 G turn performance.
Can the UK get any of its Harriers first, and along with that them fixing the ones we do have. The UK did create the Harrier after all.
Honestly a Harrier with 9X, 120C and HMD sounds fantastic. But if we do ever see it in-game I hope it’s either foldered with the AV-8B+ or is a mod for the current AV-8B+ but equipping the mod would adjust it’s BR accordingly.
Oh, I just know that AV-8B (aka Day Attack) armed AIM-9M (AIM-9M-7 model) since desert storm imao 😌
AV-8B basic (aka Day Attack) not equipped AN/AAQ-28 Litening II targeting pod until post Night Attack 1999 ~ early 2010’s
If I’m not wrong AV-8B from desert shield and desert storm armed AGM-65E Maverick (not AGM-65E2), dumb bomb, unguided rocket and Paveway II laser guided bomb (GBU-12D/B & GBU-16B/B)
But none FLIR and targeting pod

Also use 81% throttle
Made a bug report for the AV-8B+/NA and Harrier GR.7 missing NAVFLIR HUD capabilities.

My first time making a bug report like this so hopefully it’s fine to be accepted.

Hey,
You’re report is for two different features, as such needs to be broken into two reports, to that end we have a report for Harrier GR7 for its FLIR HUD Overlay and for the target cues. I will expand that to cover the AV-8B series as well.
Cheers

Ah right, I thought since both are a part of NAVFLIR that they could go in the same report.
But if you have a report anyway for NAVFLIR I’ll leave it at that then. Just hope we see it added in the future.

Yeah I’ll say it here publicly, that’s absolutely my bad, I had no idea about the state of that document and had no idea I couldn’t post a link to said document.
But the availability of stuff like that document online is really confusing since it is declassified and can be found at the top of the Google results page but it still being export restricted and thus Gaijin just can’t posses it. They really need to put in big red letters “Export Restricted” or anything to make it clear without uncertainty whether or not you can talk about it even though it can be found in seconds with a simple google search. I’m honestly not surprised with how many people accidently do this with declassified but export restricted stuff. (Not talking about the people posting fully classified stuff that has obviously come from a leak since you can’t just stumble upon it from Google are just idiots.)
I nearly had a heart attack with this. Thought any second I’d be shot dead by CIA or get my house bombed. But thank you @Gunjob for explaining things.
Again my apologies.
