Excuse my ignorance but, what’s good about the enhanced paveways over normal paveways?
T.10 could have carried them. Some T.10s got a GPS installed shortly before the planes started being upgraded to T.12. Where the GR.7 first got a GPS around 1998. Although the GR.7 ingame isn’t actually modelled with one.
The ingame T.10 is a T.12A regardless though… (Mk.107 engine)
Still hoping for a proper EPW3 model

Yes, but it doesn’t matter much in game only like 5 people have the T.10 in game.
GNSS, makes them more reliable and also versatile than the standard ones, which i think are only SAL guided? i think the only other GNSS paveways the UK gets in-game are the 500lb ones so the added explosive mass is also nice
Yep and specifically for the GR7, it is the only available GPS guided

you are using PW-220 F-15E
Doesn’t matter for low speed
That’s just for a harrier using 84% in game throttle as well.
Buffet onset lift is what we Brit’s use for ITR. (Cl buffet onset hashed line)
@kizvy just so the record is straight, it’s not anywhere near as bad as the tornado. Like feet pics was trying to imply.
Gr.5 (65% Lerx) will do 20 degrees per second ITR max at sea level. Compared to tornados 16.
A full fuel F-16 will only do 23 d/s.
100% lerx harrier will do just around 21 d/s.
A subsonic tiny strike aircraft will come within 2 D/S ITR of a Viper A when both planes are within 2,000 lbs weight of each-other.

Are the harriers with 100% lerx in the game?
Night attack and radar attack (AV-8B +) are both 100% lerx
The Gr.7 in game is 65%
Gaijin gave them the same flight models however.

Damn, so only the American/italian second gen harriers are the harrier 2s with good fms while the British ones are worse (IRL)
Both countries had a mix of 65% and 100%.
It mainly just affects usable AOA and high Mach number lift.
390 knots the AV-8B night attack can pull 7.5G
65% lerx can only pull 7G at 400 knots.

Which British harriers were the ones with 100% lerx?
Some Gr.7 some Gr.9
Some where converted to 100%
It’s just a minor modification to the leading edge and rear intake fuselage.
Gr.9A with 100% lerx:

The last 28 GR7s that were built.
IIRC 18 GR.7s with serials ZG506 and upwards (ZG862 was the last one built) were delivered with 100% LERX
A further 10 GR.7s from earlier production with serials ZG477-ZG505 were capable of refit with the 100% LERX, and by the time they were converted to GR.9 all 10 of those had a 100% LERX
The first 60 planes that were originally built as GR.5/GR.5A, plus the first batch of 6 GR.7s built, maintained 65% LERX, along with all 13 of the T.10/T.12s.
So GR.9/GR.9As with the 65% LERX were for the most part, planes that had been built as GR.5/GR.5A initially

Gr9a will probably come with both Mk107 engine and 100% lerx if/when it’s added
Nah this is gaijin
Mk105 and 65% lerx with no guns

TIALD too
And 9M
And a wrong paint job, given the T.10’s Fleet Air Arm T.12 camo from the 2010s.
Gunjob’s pic also reminded me that the Hawk 200 has a better representation of how the colours used for the RAF two-tone green scheme, looked to the naked eye with a bit of age and weathering.
Even ignoring the naff dark lighting for premiums in the hangar nowadays, the T.10 alt camo is rather dark in tone. But it took enough pedantry to get it to be semi-correct in the first place, from its initial all-green camo.
