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

on the topic of AOA we have this… Gaijin need to fix this like immediately.
Harrier AOA and departure

In game the aircraft begins to depart at like 22-24 degrees AOA even at like .3Mach and it is impossible to pull it past 30 degrees AOA.

Yet IRL even at .4Mach it was completely departure free up to 28 degrees and tests where conducted up to 35 degrees AOA!!!

T.10 (T.12) green camo was updated to include the Lichen Green countershading on the underside

@Gunjob can close the ticket as fixed if you want

Imagine how monstrous that thing would be if you could pull 35 degrees AOA.

You happy with the look?

Take a screen shot of it and then it might ig ??

It wont let me upload it to the bug reporting sight.

Yup now we are sure Gijin is really avoiding buffs on harriers XD

They have been really difficult about it. Yet even after buffing it it still doesn’t even come close to the document that they used (I gave them it) to calculate it!!!

Report that you cant report 😂😂

The chosen shade of dark green is probably too dark compared to the real NATO Green that was on the Harriers in the 90s. But otherwise it’s fine.

It’s not easy to find photos of Harriers in these colours that aren’t distorted by being on old film cameras and scanned though - so they do tend to look darker in most images, and I think the devs can be forgiven for painting them as such.

But if the devs want visual reference for the colours:

The same two green colours were used on RAF Puma HC.1, and Wessex HC.2s at that time, and examples persisted for a lot longer than on Harrier. So you can find more modern photos showing that scheme from air shows and museums etc. in the digital camera age

Wessex HC.2 in NATO Green/Lichen Green camo at the RAF Museum
Puma HC.1 in NATO Green/Lichen Green camo
Puma again

The Pumas went on to use the NATO green all over without the Lichen Green stripes (HC.2), and Chinook and Merlin in RAF service always used the single-colour all-over NATO green. So it’s not hard to see how the dark green should look. In general it’s basically the same colour as we use on tanks now.
