BAe Harrier II (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

I have a big problem with the Harrier GR.7 in-game.
Whenever the MAW activates and gives warning of a missile approaching my game crashes, I’ve tested (ie. F111C, Rooivalk, Tornado GR.4) with other aircraft’s MAWs that use IIR for incoming projectiles but with the GR.7’s radar type MAW.
My PC isn’t very good (it’s actually a laptop) using only an Intel Core i3 and my PC is 4 years old as well. (I don’t know what my laptop is called with no names or anything like it)

Hate to burst your bubble but there’s no radar MAWS in game. They’re all IR detectors. Which is why we were complaining about the F-111A getting MAWS then having then C&P it anyways.

I know that the GR.7’s MAW was a C&P of the F111A’s but I thought they changed it a bit to make it more like a radar MAW, I was also there when the talking of the F111’s MAW was copy-pasted to the GR.7

is there a picture of a harrier 2 with 6 agm65? i tried to find and couldn’t, but i saw 6 agm65 mentioned many times, not only here

AGM-65s mounted on the outer pylon

@Morvran @Gunjob Thank you

is the GR7 getting a new TGP anytime soon? gen 1 thermals with mediocre zoom at 12.0 is kinda grim

Harrier GR.9A with next-gen targeting pod

But I’m not sure coming to the winter major update this year or the first update 2025

Upgraded to TIALD 400 or TIALD 500 pod ?

I don’t understand why Gayjin hasn’t done this yet besides maybe the usual Anti-British Bias

Any news on the Harrier Gr7 getting its ePaveways?

Finally found a photo of a GR9 with the Jaguar Striker HMCS

“For the final six months, we operated with a Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS). This allows the pilot to quickly identify coordinates on the ground using a red diamond that is projected over it on a reticule placed over the right eye. This is an excellent tool in increasing spatial awareness and takes away the need to spend vital minutes using binoculars to identify features from a map. Equally, in reverse, the pilot is able to look around the battle space and if he sees something of interest, he simply looks at it, designates it using controls on the throttle and immediately the SNIPER ATP will move to look at that same point on the ground.
At night, the pilot wears Night Vision Goggles (NVG) and these are fully-integrated with all the systems, meaning the way we do business by night is exactly the same as during the day, including flying at low level, something the Harrier force is well trained in and extremely proud of.”

From the description it looks like what we have now on Tornado GR.4

Yes GR4 uses the Jaguar Striker HMCS.

Quick selfie while dropping ordinance on insurgents. (This mean we’re getting GR.9A next update?)

Me too :(

GR9a with sniper pod and upgraded pegasus from GR7a? Would also be a good future vehicle to add ASRAAM to later on
