BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

There is still not bomb toss CCRP sighting mode in game.
Its very useful as I typically don’t want to fly all the way to a base lol.

I used to just hug the deck at like 550 knots than pull up to 45 degrees and the plane would release the bombs at the correct point and gravity would do the rest.

Did you do a bug report for that?

If not i’ll throw one together. But if you have a doc for what it should look like, that would be appreciated

Its fairly complicated I remember in Sharkys book he touched on it and he said it was pretty brilliant and like radar assisted or something.

I need it for RB as i only use cockpit mode for guns. i can set MAW to be on always so why cant I just set hut mode this is stupid

What???

Mouse aim in cockpit mode?

Can you send me the front cover too please

That is what EEGS will add.

That would be a @Gunjob thing he was just nice enough to let me have the HUD pages of the manual so I could understand what was going on lol.

I think the radar also tracks surface targets and that is where the target cross comes from.

That’s why you where able to make long bomb tosses accurately.

yep. I do it that way. because the 3dr person crosshair is not very accurate for the harrier.

bleed an enemy on my tail of all speed by using 60% VIFF and flaps. once they cant turn I get on their arse and go into cockpit view to gun them.

Never mind, cant submit it at the moment, bug report website is still… bugged

Yep its annoying

When fully EEGS is added, you’ll get a sight that will correctly tell you where to aim when you have a radar lock. Much the same as you get the Tornado, Gripen, Typhoon and Phantom

That’s wild lmao.

The Harriers are just not that good in RB though to be honest Gaijin nuked there performance with the virtual instructor.

you think i use radar? radars kinda dont work at the ranges im gunning people at. its also usually only a half second timeframe at most from when I get my nose on them to me shooting, radar is too slow to keep up

In RB yeah not in SIM though.

i still hammer people in them. i won a 3v1 against three mig 23ML today

I know im a niche on this, a harrier player in RB. I just want a ready from spawn gunsight to get those clutch bursts on a target

You’ll be stuck with the Harrier T.10 or Gr.7 unfortunately.

Just for fun and because it confirms the Harrier close in abilities even more.

From 8:20 to 11:00 he talk about dogfighting F-16 and F-18 in the Shar.

At 13:20 he mentions being able to see planes at perfect 90 degrees as in they where unable to notch the radar.
