The chosen shade of dark green is probably too dark compared to the real NATO Green that was on the Harriers in the 90s. But otherwise it’s fine.
It’s not easy to find photos of Harriers in these colours that aren’t distorted by being on old film cameras and scanned though - so they do tend to look darker in most images, and I think the devs can be forgiven for painting them as such.
But if the devs want visual reference for the colours:
The same two green colours were used on RAF Puma HC.1, and Wessex HC.2s at that time, and examples persisted for a lot longer than on Harrier. So you can find more modern photos showing that scheme from air shows and museums etc. in the digital camera age
The Pumas went on to use the NATO green all over without the Lichen Green stripes (HC.2), and Chinook and Merlin in RAF service always used the single-colour all-over NATO green. So it’s not hard to see how the dark green should look. In general it’s basically the same colour as we use on tanks now.
I cant wait for the day i will have the GR9A on my hands with 6x ASRAAMs in Sim fighting everything 😀
With my HMD better engine more missiles better missiles and better RWR and jamers
And probability in the future we will have Spectral flairs which it does take 😍
I think Gunjob mistook the post of mine you were quoting, for a more recent one regarding the changes to the T.10’s secondary camo.
Anyway, @Master_Yoder posted a clearer picture of TERMA on the GR.9 a while back. It’s the one on the left of the picture (starboard/right-hand side for the pilot) with with green, white, and red countermeasure bays, and yellow “eyes” for the MAWS sensors
Looks to be scanned from a book perhaps
It’s a podded “Self Protection System”. TERMA is the name of the company - from Denmark. In the case of Harrier it contains both sensors for detection, and countermeasures.
Tornado GR.4 already has one in the game that adds MAWS and more countermeasures. IIRC Tornado’s was MCP-8.5 (Modular Countermeasures Pod) and the Harrier’s is MCP-8.2.
The Belgian F-16s have PIDS+ (Pylon Integrated Dispenser System +) pylons that are the same thing, by the same company, but if a pylon format rather than a pod format.
AMASE (Apache Modular Aircraft Survivability Equipment) on the AH-64D wingtips was also a TERMA pod.
Before Harrier and Tornado, the RAF had trialled TERMA pods on a few larger things like Nimrod. But I don’t think those versions had MAWS.
IRL it would likely only provide MAWS coverage front, back, sides and down. With above most likely being masked by the airframe. That is something not modeled in game. So would provide all-aspect coverage (only UV MAWS though)
But yeah, 240 CMs + A-A MAWS would be rather handy given the assumed higher BR
Yep “FOX TWO - Details & Markings - BAE Systems Harrier II” great book for model making.
It mentions re Terma & HMCS -
“Capability C+ (June 2007) installed two UORs - the TERMA pod and Helmet Mounted Cueing system (HMCS). It also overcame Paveway IV (PWIV) fusing problems. All but two GR.Mk9/9As were at this standard when Joint Force Harrier (JFH) disbanded, as they were T.12s.”
Also makes mention of the TIALD 500 replacing the 400 & that the Hud could also superimpose the FLIR image.
