BAe Harrier II (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

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.

60% vector and landing flaps and you can bleed them out of all energy. they will then pull the cobra button and stall out and die

most of the time it’s even better they go in a dogfight underestimating me with a harrier and then I Vtol inside their circle they are trapped since I fire aim 9s or guns usually hitting and if they try to break off they are fully exposed and slow perfect for an aim 9 in between there engine butcheeks

You could end every fight by the second turn if they had AOA and viff.

Even in this state they are crazy good.

Most people misunderstand it as a subsonic CAS plane and think its “inferior” because of that.

personal opinion it’s the most dangerous capable and versatile CAS plane, over the SU 25 and SU 24 or the A10s

What other plane can operate from a forest clearing lmao.

when the GR9A comes and it has all it has to offer even if it is 14.0 because of 6x ASRAAMs I will make that thing be feared in Sims

We will make a no fly zone within 15 KM of us.

su 35 Pilots looking in their radars what is that swarm down there, harriers getting one ping in their RWR because they have nothing else to detect a plane with

all turn in the same direction

Lmao it would be so easy just lock and fire.

especially with HMD

I am surprised there is no content creator on YT explaining or featuring the GR9A for war thunder
