on T10 you can put guided bombs on the outer rails so gaijin knows that they are capable of doing it. they are just holding back capabilities
The GBU-10 like all PW2 bombs requires no electrical wiring and uses only existing dropping mechanisms for dumb bombs. The pylons can take Mavericks and the max load is 6 for Harrier II that isn’t up for dispute. But as with all loadouts it’s a balancing choice by the devs on what gets what weapons and how many.

Mav isn’t on the outer pylon (STA7) in that photo anyway.
The LAU-117 launcher for the Mav is visibly behind the outer pylon, with the BOL+RAIDS pod, and 250gal tank behind that. So it’s on STA6 - the mid-wing pylon after the outrigger, where they’re usually carried

I don’t suppose there’s any need for unguided Mk.82s on the UK’s GR.7 in addition to the GBU-12s, is there?

so can we have a gr7A at higher BR since they really hate the addition of a GR9A ?
the f i do XDD
Wait, you don’t?
well the T10 they added is more of a T12 so maybe they are warming to a GR9a so we can have HMD
no i do want it XD

I NEED IT GIJIN
I have returned from holiday.
Did the Harrier GR.9 get a RWR that can detect SAMs AND fighters? the GR.7 RWR is good enough for what it was designed for and worked in the Gulf War but it is very vulnerable to air threats
Don’t think so. They were set up for basically pure mud moving

People here said the old Harriers got a flight model fix. But I flew the FA2 and it still handles like a brick.

It now handles like a slightly more dynamic brick.
It’s better but if it’s been a while since you used them it’s going to be harder to tell the difference.
Still lots of improvement to be made.

They got more thrust, which means they retain energy better at lower speeds and regain energy faster, but the FM is still a total mess. @MatrixRupture has a boat load of reports in for the Harrier. We’ll have to see if any get looked at next major update
Though they are now even harder to flare anything in. So be careful. Takes 8+ flares to defeat an R-60M at 3km if you are down around 420 kts
Photos of an Italian Navy Harrier II MM7199 with a triple mount of Typhoon Air-to-Ground missiles next to it (Air to ground ASRAAM variant).
Additionally, traditional ASRAAM and ALARM missiles.
Credit to Flame for noticing the Typhoons.

I wasn’t following the KH-38MT debacle, but why are they in game if they don’t exist supposedly but Typhoon missile is missing?
