Yeah, it does do that, but it also does the opposite for the other team

Devs might have some confusion on how smokey Harrier engines are resulting from images/footage of the Harrier in a hover, where the engine efflux can indeed be quite dirty. AFAIK that’s down to the water injection during hover, as it’s also what makes the engines on e.g. B-52 very smokey during take off

this’ll be the “active” bit of the Active Radar Homing
I’ve been lucky, with just one occasion where i’ve been TKed on Dev with ARHs, and I’ve scored none of my own. Scored one with the 9L/M (because seeker things)
the Seeker will probably lock the closest target, or most prominent.
I’ve not had a single TK yet, though SB does train you to have good shot discipline. I think both of the times i’ve been TKed have been because I was within proximity of the intended target (around 500m) and the missile has just gotten confused. Definetly something i’ll bare in mind when commiting my own attacks or when firing close to another target. Maintain a hard lock rather than relying solely on TWS (especially as TWS in cyclic selection mode likes to jump around, even to teammates)

Could sources like this be enough to bug report the smokey exhaust?

Awesome. I’ll get to work on a bug report, unless you want the honours?
If not, can I use that source? and can you send me the details for it so I can include it in the report

Watching this video with some 80’s retro-synthwave going on in the background was an experience…
A great experience though.

now this would be something, im planning to give the sea harrier another try in sim. practise for the long proccess of spading the shar as i will not be touching rb for a good while after the update. although after playing the tornado again i am torn on what to get first as i think ive finally found a playstyle that works for the tornado while im still stumped for the sea harrier.
stock 9Li please

Sea Harrier didn’t use 9L(i)
Im planning SHar solely because it can take bombs, F3 cant making it the more effecient grinder in Sim.
But yeah, neither are going to be fun until at least nearly spaded in ARB
But if in doubt with the SHar FRS1, stick on Damping and fly it like you would the F3. Use it like a BVR truck. It works great like that. Though if we get the radar gunsight and proper HUD for the FRS1. Im gunna be really tempted to spend a chunk of time playing that over the FA2.
tbf, i forget we still dont have full hud in either :( i hope we see it in the tornado as it really needs it.
Yeah, the placeholder HUDs are starting to get a little ridiculous

don‘t you think it current br 12.3 is too high compared with j8f and av8b
Small IR signature that is easily masked 🤔 potential new IR masking modification? Is the IR signature in game deemed to be small?

So now that the FA.2 is coming…
FRS.51 LUSH when :D
Does the Flight Path Marker work?
