Interesting that those both say the dual SNEB pod carriage for Harrier was only with the lightweight, 19-shot expendable Type 115/116 pods rather than the heavy, re-usable 18-shot Type 155s we have ingame (155s shown as single carriage in the second image)
This is a 116M pod
The aerodynamic cone was frangible and blew away when the rockets fired
The CRV-7’s LAU-5003 pods are similar in this regard IRL. But in War Thunder we have LAU-51s as the CRV-7 pods instead of proper LAU-5003s

Who the hell is Steve Jobs?
I think he started Cherry or something
Back on topic of the Sea Harrier.
You can beat slatted Phantoms at altitude.
9L acting like how 9M should
Meanwhile it should be acting like a R73 in tight turns, like an AIM174B at range, DF 41 speed and IRCCM and lock-on of the most advanced ASRAAM
lol he didn’t switch the afterburner off so that’s how the 9L should be but reliable
we need to get this behaviour more normal. and give the F5 its actual engine heat as that’s a major thorn at 9L BRs too, there was a thread years ago about it with flame but went nowhere, maybe we can have another shot at it all
I will look into the F-5 turn rate too it can apparently do like 20 degrees a second in game which is just mental and not realistic as far as I know.
May be accurate for F20 but not the tiger
Agreed when I get home I will do some baseline tests
In game to see its actual performance
Watch at 2:20 seconds you can see the actual speed drop just by pointing the nozzles forward.
It would be cool if gaijin modeled breaking stop.
How do I aim with this wet noodle
Where gunsight? I go into cockpit view for gun kills so im currently stuffed when i take out a FRS1.
Any ETA in it?
Well… It took 9 months to get the correct radar and cockpit. Another 18 Months for a parital HUD. So we should have it fixed and finished sometime in 2027
I love that the math adds up
Gunsight is in ATG gunsight HUD mode though however that’s where the CCIL is
Do wish we could kept the old hud or just used the one on harrier 2 until it was finished. not having gun indication kneecaps me in a dogfight.
