BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

Probably never done, but likely possible

I suppose the more important question is “could we prove it was possible (the dual SWs + BOL)?”

moreover dual AMRAAM racks would be nice, although I get why they’re not a thing right now

I mean…Tornado F.3 & Late have duel ‘winder racks with BOL.

They do not work the same way. F3 have 2 pylons at the oposite side, they are independent and one was wiered for bol.

Yeah, really interesting.

My most schizo take would be that the modeller is a Russian. But like I said that’s quite a schizo take

It has the stats of the 105, it’s just named 101

It should have 106

Either 105 or 106 is fine. But I’d prefer 106 as there isn’t another Shar that could come after this to carry it.

this isnt the shar is it? as its showing it could hold missiles on the inner wing pylons. so is this the av 8b or a latter gr variant?

Look at the bottom of the page

It’s a proposed future variant of the Shar.

The Mk.3a & 3b

No, it is a proposal from BAe for a Sea Harrier FA.2 replacement after it was retired, called Harrier III.
I created a forum on it, search on my profile to find it.

Seems likely tbh.

Extremely excited for the FA.2, is it too ambitious to think the update will drop next week?

@Gunjob I know the Devs have made MFDs more realistic with better utility, any word if this will extend to cockpit warning lights and such? Plenty of these in the Shar!

Next week will be too soon.

2 weeks at least.

Warning lights and stuff can wait, we are in dire need of the correct HUD.

Oh I’m aware of that but I hold very little hope. Think it took over a year for the Viggen to get it’s gun piper, can’t imagine they’ll be in a rush for the Shars. I’m guessing their argument will be that at least it has a “functioning” HUD. Even the Tonka still doesn’t have radar target identification without cueing a missile, how long has that been? And it’s an absolute necessity in SB.

God I hope the FA2 gets it’s proper HUD, having the Gr3 one currently is a tad sad.

I’m guessing week after next for the update, maybe the week after

does anyone know if you can run BOL on the dual sidewinder splitters?
