It was XV277, which was a preproduction Harrier used as testbed.
Technically it’s a GR.1 or P.1127, but had airframe modifications to test the aerodynamic changes proposed for Sea Harrier and for the GR.3. It was also used for Martel trials.
This is what it looked like before it was remodelled:
And how it looks now at Scotland’s National Museum of Flight
Obviously the actual Sea Harrier ended up being a much more significant remodel
Well done. You won the challenge
Jokes aside, is that a datalink pod on the outer right pylon?
So? Martels for the Harrier Gr1 or Gr3 bug report needed then?
😜
If that is a Martel, probably, much like we have on the Buc S2B and would have on the Tornado Gr1
Looks like a rocket pod
Looks like a Matra Type 116M or 116MA rocket pod. A lighter, disposable version of the more familiar Type 155 SNEB pod
Lol…No!
Tbh I would love this thing to come to the game as a premium @ Rank 6, so we can have a unique, premium Harrier replacement for the GR.1.
With AIM 9Gs, Blue Fox and premium bonuses, ooh * chef’s kiss * also It would be like the other 9.7 Harriers it wouldn’t be op just a good Rank 6 premium for britain, martel or not
It got a handful of ground based radars to ID. Still WIP.
No, why would a Harrier be fixed
Ah damn. Well. Still can get a 4 kill game in it :D
Dont why but felt like the AMRAAM were a little more reliable than they were before last update
Might be you’re just getting a better feel for them.
Could be. Though I’ve barely played it. Sim is my main mode and without a usable HUD. It just isnt fun.
Why does the Sea Harrier FRS.1 (L) sit at 11.3 when the A-10s, A-6E, Su 25s, etc. sit at 10.3 and 10.7
It got Gaijined.
FRS1e moved up 1 stop from 10.3 to 10.7 (which is the correct BR for a half decent fighter with 2x Aim-9Ls)
But the FRS1 for some reason went up 2 stops instead of the expected 1 stop.
I plan to bring it up next BR change and I have yet to encounter anyone who disagrees.
Like it commonly faces super 3rd gen fighters (think MiG 23MLD, F 4J/S, etc.) especially in Sim
Yeah… That does suck. At least we have the e that is still at reasonable BR.
I think your forgetting the a10c is the same br as it now lol, according to gaijin an a10 (with hmd) requires 9ms for it to be even able to face a sea harrier. You think they have an Argentinian dev that just spends his entire time ensuring harrier players are always facing realistic threats.
Whats funny is that I wouldnt be at all surprised if it turned out the Sea Harrirer FRS1 had better stats than the A-10Cs
