Yeah because of the seeker logic when flares are present you don’t fire them in the same way you would a 9L. They are particularly deadly in deflection and high speed head ons.
If a target is already in a hard turn it will clap them.

True, it is a very annoying thing while using weapon sellector, and it cant be changed due to how the game is programmed, or so they said on bug report.
and the AV8B doesn’t get extra flare launchers does it? not fair :(
Do they actually integrated Brimstones on it?
Don’t think so, the BOL-304 was only in use with the Italian Air Force on their leased Tornado ADV’s and that’s purely because they’re leased from the RAF.
Interesting to see Alarms shown with a Harrier.
This is a Harrier Gr7
Fairly certain they could carry 18
Different angle that’s been posted before. Higher resolution though. I’ll add it to my alarm suggestion cheers.
So if there’s any footage where GR.9 fires them, like in situation with tornado?
theres a pic of one carrying them. I dont know if there is any clip of them being fired, but the Harriers I think were retired before they got a chance to use them.
Brimstone was cleared for use on the Harrier GR.9:
Andrew Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the Harrier aircraft had the capability to carry (a) Brimstone and (b) Storm Shadow missiles on 12 May 2011. [66656]
Nick Harvey: [holding answer 18 July 2011]: The Harrier aircraft was withdrawn from service on 15 December 2010. Prior to its withdrawal, it had an operational emergency clearance to operate Baseline Brimstone. In order for the Harrier to use Dual Mode Seeker Brimstone, we would have had to extend the provision for the weapon and conduct a full trials programme on Harrier. Although capable of carrying Storm Shadow, Harrier was not cleared to do so when it was withdrawn from service.

The same aircraft is in the thumbnail of this video, but I couldn’t find it throughout the documentary.
So gr9 with Brims 1, no Brims 2 and no SS :/
I just noticed they didn’t fix the bug where when you fire all the sidewinders the circle remains, and don’t go back to the gun sight.
They un-fixed that? I did notice some buggy behaviour with the reticle staying put when mode swapping, but chalked it up more to the new automated behaviour.
It happened to me and got me killed once, usually in SIM I don’t stay alive enough to fire all my missiles, I always mess up something haha, so I gotta double check that tomorrow.
I usually just run 2x Aim-9M. and didnt notice earlier when I ran out, but I have yet to run out with 4x Aim-9M loadouts.
They’ve also added this somewhat annoying new mechanic where cockpit sight mode automatically swaps to match your weapon selection and vice versa. Might be worth checking that when you’ve run out of AAMs, that it isnt swapping to another sight mode
It’s interesting that the ARI 23333/1 can’t detect the type of target for air threats when it’s arguably the most advanced (fighter) RWR/DECM in game? Is it known if this is correct?
Seems to be:
