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

Here comes the sun.

Fr I just locked and killed a Harrier from 8 KM frontally with a 9L

It even works underwater!!! as it tracked a harrier through cloud

The fact you can track through clouds, which normally is impossible. Is hilarious. More damming than anything else. (and not even just transistion. where it was outside the cloud and then inside, actually properly from cold to locked through a cloud)

Yeah up to about 10KM out too. Its frontal lock range is further than some fully afterburning jets rear lock.

This needs to be fixed like ASAP.

What could be really really good, is repeat the same scenario. Rear-aspect, Aim-9L at various ranges in and out of cloud but against different targets. A nice broad range. That would be perfect for a bug report I think.

(like Hunter F6, Buc S2, F-5, Mig-21, F-4, etc and where possible, in both dry and wet thrust)

Would be yes I just need someone with lots of different planes to go into a custom battle with to test.

Through clouds though is mental that’s a bug in and of its own its the only plane lockable through cloud.

Well… I can do some of those, at least anything on the British TT :D

Would be easy enough are you free?

Could compare it to F.3 and eft and the lot.

I have a little time free now

I got the F-15J & F-16AJ (Plus some Kfirs) if you want them too

With harrier changes, is the weight capacity to still be able to perform VTOL reduced on the Gr7?

Struggling to get vertical landing functional with payload, the take off isn’t impacted too heavily, but just can’t get into a hover, even manually, to land.

Payload: 4 x GBU-12 {Outer Pylons} – 2 x AIM-9M {Dedicated Pylon} – 2 x AGM-65G {Inner Pylon} – TIALD

It should be the same.

Maybe something else changed, used to be able to hover with it, was the one I used when landing on carriers in Sim. Slightly peeving.

How much fuel?

IRL, for a harrier to Vertically land they needed to be below about 2200lb of fuel and that was without stores iirc. Not exactly sure how that translate in game. One sec let me boot up with WTRTI

14min, used to take ~20 for sim.

I can pull up the manual lol
