I guess the Cheetah E as a premium would be good but I refered more to the aircraft that served with Britain not that I don’t want ZA or Indian vehicles being South African
Topic is Harrier II not Cheetah. Stay on topic please.
Sorry
Britain is lacking a premium CAS, I think something like the Gr5 or Gr7A could make a good premium option.
Just hoping the Gr9A remains a TT option
The GR.5 would be best for a premium strike jet
My internal report for the Maverick versions on GR7 has now been resolved. So GR7 will have its Maverick swapped out for a new version. My suggestion was any of the versions covered by the manual.
So its likely to be AGM-65G.
It would be good to get the laser guided AGM-65E as well.
Nice don’t know if this a downgrade or upgrade but cant wait to see
That was part of my suggestion. But I don’t know if they went that route.
In theory it should be just as effective against tanks but more effective against soft skin vehicles.
Doesn’t it have a better seeker or is that not modeled
Should be basically the 65D with a new warhead.
Ah ok look forward to seeing it
Maverick break down
Mavericks in use with GR7
The newer Seeker is IIR;
So the seeker should be somewhat better.
???
The G uses a heavy penetrator warhead, whereas the D just uses a shaped charge. The penetrator warhead was specifically made for hitting reinforced targets, like heavily armoured tanks. It uses kinetic energy to penetrate before exploding.
Currently in game, the 65D rarely kills anything heavier than light tanks and spaa. I’m hoping the 65G has better anti-tank capabilities, considering how underwhelming the 65D are modelled.
I mean we’re not losing capability.
the HE-SAP warhead will probably be the most effective out of any AGM-65 due to Overpressure imo.
Btw Gunjob i know this isnt the topic for it but do you know if the new AGM65s will be going to any other aircraft?
Kinda off topic, but since GR7 Is going to’ receive It, can the AV8B+ get It as well? There Is a report on the bug report site currently

I’ll see if I can nudge that report.
