BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

Yeah it’s a Early version of the Sea Harrier FRS.1 which is pretty disappointing, it carries 2 less AIM-9Ls and is basically identical.

Whilst nations like the Soviets get the MiG-29SMT the British are stuck with the Tornado F.3 as their primary Fighter yet again

Thank god for that, at least thats something to play now so i dont have to touch top tier

Does it have any radar symbology in the end?

Yeah well anyone who has the squadron sea harrier will look at this and go “and what exactly is the point?”

In the HUD? no.

you what

At this point I just can’t.

on the bright side it stops Scimitar to Phantom being such a big jump

You can literally get the Sea Harrier FRS.1 for free, the purpose of the Sea Harrier FRS.1 Early is to serve as a filler to the Naval Air line up I believe.

I genuinely just dont get why we got this as the tech tree. I mean hell, the other one is free. granted it takes a couple months to get it but you can accrue points on it while playing anything. you have to play the Scimitar of all godforsaken things if you play by the line (you don’t but you get my point)

Has a nice digital mach number read out on the left side.

I get what you mean and played by the line for years (I gave up the F2P insufferable grind and bought a premium).

That cockpit looks amazing, hopefully this also gets the modern RWR buff other vehicles are getting.

I ground using a multitude of aircraft. a decent amount of prem account and prem vehicles (mostly bought on sale, but still)

It hasn’t been a rewarding experience really (though I do enjoy a good bit of Phantom FG.1)
However i fear the introduction of R-73 will end up in anyone who doesn’t have MAWS finding a new and improved way to die.

hopefully this also gets the modern RWR buff other vehicles are getting.

The Sea Harrier RWR was pretty rubbish IRL. It should give you a CW warning though.

Edit: I thought the Sea harrier was still using the ARI 18223 RWR from the Harrier GR.3, but it turns out it got the much better ARI 18228 RWR.

Does look nice. Going to be fun in ASB. Should do me till FA2

Finally we got the updated cockpit and the radar changes will also help alot especially in sim.

Now I wait for the Hunter F.58 cockpit to be updated

Love we get another SHar

Basically just a Falklands War Fit version as opposed to the Phase.1 Upgrade version we have as a squad Veh, which improved the shortcomings of the SHar during the conflict.
