Should I buy the AV-8B (NA)?

It is 60% off rn on the PSN store and I need a better CAS plane thats not the F4S.

Perspective of the Harrier T10/Gr7 and not the AV-8B(NA)

Harrier IIs are pretty solid CAS, a little fiddly at times, like defending against IR threats is a total chore, but they have great low alt handling and so hug the deck quite well. AV-8B(NA) can also spam JDAMs down range. Just bear in mind its a little limited on its multirole power and being subsonic does give it a major weakness.

Loads of bug reports have been submitted and a fair few have been accepted, so maybe someday we’ll see the Harriers get some TLC

Id wait perhaps for someone whos used the AV-8B(NA) specifically to comment, as it may be different ,but I rather enjoy the Harrier T10 at the same BR (which has both strengths and weaknesses compared to the AV-8B(NA))

Legends say one day the Harriers will be colder than the sun

Marketing lie unfortunately

(Though flame does have a report it for it to maybe be fixed)

If BR isnt concern, consider F/-18C early.

Same Mavs but you get much better platform and can do CAP as well.
