Quickly notes down the other 3 books to see if there is an audible version

Nevermind, I guess I must’ve mixed it up with the GR.7. We still have the garbage one
False alarm, apologies.
@Gunjob Do you know if the SHar is getting drop tanks this patch?
Now its getting its cockpit & radar, it could do with drop tanks.
(Along with its other missing munitions…CBU’s, Sea Eagle…)

I’d honestly prefer the Sea Harrier FA.2 get added this patch minus the AIM-120s (like the F-16D Israel or AV-8B+ Italy) than wait 20 updates and receive the Harrier FA.2 in a dry state. Without the AIM-120s but with the excellent Radar would actually balance the vehicle whilst making it top notch in game modes like Simulator or Air Realistic.

You good don’t worry my friend, as long as we are getting the cockpit remodel I’ll be happy.
Im really surprised they didnt use it as the test bed for AMRAAM, add them a patch early to 1 jet to test the waters. Like 9Ls on the Gr7. But I suppose this does mean if the SHar FA2 comes with hte rest of the AMRAAMs, then maybe it oculd be a test platform for the 9Ms instead

I know it’s a Sea Harrier but I’m not sure it’s rated for river operations.

If you want another book Harrier 809 by Roland White is very good account of 809’s expirence in the Falklands
Ill add it to my list.
Didnt 809 merge with 801 during the conflct?
Early trials for the Harrier to be adopted by the Silent Service.
They were split between 801 and 800 still they got up to a lot of interesting things in ther formation and trip down to the flaklands
I think this is suffecient evidence for shar to be added to the coastal tree 😛
Oh Sea Harrier of the lake, what is your wisdom?

I mean the Harrier GR.7 was added the last second of Drone Age in a surprise so I wouldn’t be shocked if the Sea Harrier FA.2 got added this patch with AMRAAMs for testing the waters alongside the AV-8B+. The chances of this is tiny though and unlikely.
I doubt the Av-8B. For US that would be insane on top of F-16 and all their other new jets. Italy is a maybe, but they just got a mass of ground vehicles this update.
The 2 that make sense to add it to would have be britain or Sweden at this point. But Shar FA2 is not that radically different from FRS1 and we did see that get finished, so its not beyond the realm of possiblity.
Could be sweden with the gripen, but that might not be a suitable test platform.
Pretty sure the AV-8 model is just a first placeholder/prototype build that got left in, rather than something imminent.
Along with the added GAU-12 mesh it’s got a lantirn pod attached on the centreline which AFAIK neither Italy nor the USMC ever bought (should be a litening pod instead). Also the Aden 25 and TIALD are still there left over from the GR.7 as well as BOL and Phimat on the wings

Ah yes the case of the River Yeo’s Swimming Sea Harrier
Add that to the story of the Harrier landing on a Spanish Container Ship.
And the other one about slamming a serviceable T.12 into the ground at Akrotiri
To quote Paul Tremelling (who it appears is rather rapidly becoming a demi god in this thread😂), “Nozzles that move presented an opportunity - well, many opportunities - to embarrass and/or kill oneself”
