not gonna reply to a 2 year old post from flame in this thread but any news on GR7 getting its additional 2 missile rails? it already struggles being so high up so 2 extra sidewinders would have a good bit of value

Yeah, or the outer AGM-65s

Given most are now slinging 6x FnFs, it would be good to have an option for that.

on T10 you can put guided bombs on the outer rails so gaijin knows that they are capable of doing it. they are just holding back capabilities

The GBU-10 like all PW2 bombs requires no electrical wiring and uses only existing dropping mechanisms for dumb bombs. The pylons can take Mavericks and the max load is 6 for Harrier II that isn’t up for dispute. But as with all loadouts it’s a balancing choice by the devs on what gets what weapons and how many.

Mav isn’t on the outer pylon (STA7) in that photo anyway.
The LAU-117 launcher for the Mav is visibly behind the outer pylon, with the BOL+RAIDS pod, and 250gal tank behind that. So it’s on STA6 - the mid-wing pylon after the outrigger, where they’re usually carried

Ed:-
I don’t suppose there’s any need for unguided Mk.82s on the UK’s GR.7 in addition to the GBU-12s, is there?

so can we have a gr7A at higher BR since they really hate the addition of a GR9A ?

You want 40 degrees of controllable AOA?

Wait, you don’t?

well the T10 they added is more of a T12 so maybe they are warming to a GR9a so we can have HMD

I NEED IT GIJIN

I have returned from holiday.
Did the Harrier GR.9 get a RWR that can detect SAMs AND fighters? the GR.7 RWR is good enough for what it was designed for and worked in the Gulf War but it is very vulnerable to air threats

Don’t think so. They were set up for basically pure mud moving
