Yes GR4 uses the Jaguar Striker HMCS.

Me too :(
GR9a with sniper pod and upgraded pegasus from GR7a? Would also be a good future vehicle to add ASRAAM to later on

All the Harrier 2 are missing a lot on the way of minimum turn radius. Gaijin also incorrectly calculated 50% fuel for the test when it specifically stated 4655 lbs fuel.
Minimum radius of turn in the Gr.7 with the same loadout as figure 10 is around 1830 feet compared to the 1500 or so seen in the E-M chart.

i think its time for the GR9A to come
and prepare it self for ASRAAMs in the future
Its a real tragedy imo that the Gr7 got Aim-9Ms instead of a BR drop and then to add the Gr9A to add something with the Aim-9Ms.
The lack of a Harrier II at a lower BR (like the AV-8B(NA) ) rather hurts the british TT imo and the GR9A is just better suited for being a higher BR

They can still add in the GR.5 and remove the GR.7’s 9M and bring in the GR.7A with the GR.9A (Z something) as the 14.0 ASRAAM machine.
The thing I fear about the a Harrier GR9A with ASRAAM is that it will spend its entire time on the defensive and rarely actually get a missile off. In a gamemode like SB, you will have no way of IDing what you are firing at unless you have visual with the target at which point you have likely just dodged many ARH or equivalent IR missiles.
Something like an FA2 Late that has the radar to couple with the ASRAAMs would be very fun. But I just fear the radar-less life of a GR9 at such a BR. (it already sucks at 12.3 [12.7] )
Just use the Sniper pod for long range ID
Providing it didnt just get TIALD again…
But even then. Doing that is a bit of faff, especially when also defending and render distances are bugyg as hell. in the GR4 you cant spot something much further out than about 20-25km. They become invisible after that (but you can still see the engine exhaust)
If they add TIALD to the GR.9? I’m fairly sure TIALD was gone by then.
This is Gaijin we are talking about

What about a Harrier III? It could use the ASRAAM and AMRAAM with GR.9A flight performance and Blue Vixen radar. Yes it didn’t exist much past the blueprint stage but we need another Medium fighter for top tier for when ASRAAM comes and a FA.2 (Late) would underperform with only 4 missiles and Harrier I flight performance, unless we can get BOL on dual racks or just ASRAAM on dual racks then it could be better
Doesn’t exist so its never happening.

GR.9 was developed with the intention to use TIALD 500, and was the in-service pod for around a year.
But replacing it was already on the cards by the time GR.9 started their first operational deployment in Afghanistan - probably due to shortcomings identified with TIALD 500 during pre-deployment training.
Tornado GR.4 operated with TIALD for longer than Harrier GR.9. So if the GR.4 has Litening, Harrier GR.9 should definitely have Sniper

I see. In any case TIALD 500 is STILL better than TIALD in game but I see no reason as to not have SNIPER considering that a few other aircraft can get it as well.
