So active sky flash doesn’t need Radar illumination?
That would be pretty neat.
No but also has no datalink of any kind. It only has pre-launch target data, after it’s launched its completely on its own.

I see so it would really have to be launched bit bull basically. As if the target moves to far from the original heading the missiles radar wont be able to see it right?
It would be a similar case with AMRAAM on the AV 8B+. You can’t guide the missile midflight so the missile’s range is artificially shorted because you can’t guarantee that the target won’t move a radical amount of distance away from its original flight path
The AV-8B+ can guide 1 missile it just can not guide multiple at once like Blue Vixen.
I mean when you already have another missile out

You would be able to launch it only like the standard Skyflash, the only difference would be the fact that after you fire you can do whatever. So it would be 20km launches, as that is seeker range for ARH in game.

How much would Gaijin increase the BR of the Tornado F.3 if it got ASF?
Most likely 13.0, maybe 12.7. its simply not worth it.

I’m no Gaijin, but most likely 13.0-12.7
I was expecting more like 12.3 maybe 12.7 but not quite 13.0
Nope, it is still ARH. Unlike everyone else you can fire it and do anything else you want, fire at a different target, notch, fly away.
It’s still a regular Skyflash in everything else though, yes once you launched it’s fire and forget but in a joust with AIM 7F/Ms or R27ERs you’re just going to be launched on before you can launch and start notching
I think the Sea Harrier cockpit HUD visual models are wrong.
IRL they are almost the entire size of the front windscreen.
Yet in game they are the same as the Gr.3 and the FA.2 has a comically small HUD.

It has been brought up before and it is very annoying how lazy G@yjin have been the past few years

Just was curious glad it’s been mentioned.
I feel it’s fair to nag them hard now as they have decided to go and model the HUD they might as well make them right.
The FA.2 HUD is so tiny it seriously restricts the view.
I appreciate that you’ve mentioned it again. Most of the time it is mentioned, I feel it gets swept under the rug

The only reason gaijin ignores issues is when there are not enough people whining about it.
Why do Americans almost always get everything they want well they whine in the hundreds.
I think its less to do with the amount of whining and more to do with threat to sales
That’s true. It’s sad though especially with how many Harriers are in the game.
I think most people played them as they were and just went hmm it kind of sucks but it has good air to ground for 9.7 and that’s all they cared about.
The AV-8A premium also has a stupid amount of CM.
