These “Technical data and discussion” threads are about the aircraft in real life, not just the aircraft as its represented in game.
Not fully
yeah because the IRIS-T or Rb99 aren’t in the game
Gotcha
Neither is AIM-9L(i)

No.
In real life the harrier GR.7 could use:
- AIM-9G
- AIM-9L
- AIM-9M
- ASRAAM (in testing)
Gaijin look at that list and narrow it down to:
- AIM-9G - Not good enough for it’s BR
- AIM-9L - This works well as a stock missile
- AIM-9M - This works well as an upgrade missile
- ASRAAM - This would be crazy OP and game breaking so won’t be added (yet)
So out of that list the Harrier GR.7 get’s given AIM-9L and AIM-9M. It’s realistic because it used those missiles in real life. Gaijin just aren’t reflecting every single weapon the aircraft carried.

Updated the OP anyway. @Flame2512 found a doc in the National Archives that confirms the Harrier II’s SMS could handle 6x Sidewinder/ASRAAM. And the manuals confirm its possible with an adaptor.

:D gib
I could only wish Gaijin cared about realism…
Ok, here take the 1D gun repair time and 10h track repair, 4h plane rearm? Yes Sir!
Yes, I agree
All loadouts are a balance decision. Challenger DS should have L26, but it doesnt for balancing reasons. Jaguar and Phantoms could have Aim-9L, but again, balancing decision. Even the Sea Harrier FRS1 could have AIm-9M. But all loadouts vehicles do have are accurate/possible
Now. Could the Gr7 get Aim-9Gs, sure. But its already probably very hard to spade with 2x 9Ls. I couldnt imagine trying to do it with 9Gs. Additionally. You’d almost never use them when you have 9Ls and 9Ms to choose from. So 9Gs could just be a choice, but a potentially unnecessary one and the Gr7 already has missing loadout options which would be more helpful to get
