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

Hehe, but need more :P

I mean GR9 with 5x BOL and a phimat would be incredible. were those CM pods we see on the matadors ever mounted on British harriers as that adds even more

Do we have a report up for the max AOA being limited to 18 instead of 25 ?
i have all the UK harriers and except the GR7 they are all bricks is that how they where?

Haha, shame no BOL was ever fitted to those extra 2 pylons :D

Or just imagine a BOL on every Pylon. So 8x BOL + Terma :D

Will this reduce Harrier IR signature?

It propably would. At least a little, At least if how we think the IR signatures work is right. But still probably not enough.

According to the history of Gaijin’s balancing

-Losing some thrust in station
-but no extra thrust in higher speed
-The code got fuzzy again, as always and gets no reduction on IR signature enough.

Should’ve had Northrop make the harrier

Yeah, Gaijin loves to bias some selected jets from Northrop
and if Northrop built Harrier

Then ion-thruster from F-5 will heavily helpful for dealing with the IR problem of the harrier XD

Wouldn’t really change it that much. Would just make the max VTOL weights accurate.

Hopefully they fixed STR too.

So from what i am getting at overhere is that we are getting a nerf to the harrier I s for thrust output?

Wasnt that just increased?

The static installed thrust of the Harrier is too high for all marks.

The thrust at speed is still significantly too low.

Gaijin doesn’t seem to understand that jet engines don’t lose all their thrust when they move forward.

STR is still around 1G less than it should be.

An experimental AV-8B with wing tip sidewinders.

It would be cool for accurately calculated VTOL weights.

I think the biggest nerf on the harriers at the moment atleast the GR II ones is the fact they are missing 2 missile pilons

4 missiles is just not enough for 12.7
