Does the Blue Fox have a similar mode for detecting ships?

Interesting… I knew it had a naval scan mode, but didnt think it had GMTI and that was a specific upgrade done for the Gripen

Sea Harrier over the falklands

Ofc, the Blue Fox was pretty shit for its use and era.

Not entirely fair, but accurate.

They basically weren’t allowed to develop a radar so it’s just the seaspray from the lynx

I don’t blame the Shar for its engineers not being sneaky and using a better radar but the MoD and the British Government as a whole are so fucking useless and greedy that they’d probably sell the whole country to the USSR for only a few million pounds. They already did that with the Russian oligarchs and many Chinese business people

I was looking through the Argie archive from the Data they collected on the Shar heres this.

They even had data regarding VIFF and the Shars capabilities in Low alt dogfights, there is a reason they put a do not engage system in.

Except its better in everyway and can track, range, and detect air targets all while being jammed…

Very nice but… I just want a Shar 1 with all aspect PD and Fox 1s ; _ ; .

Isnt that just the FRS.1?

This is really fun, but are they going to add the Sea Eagle?

The FRS.1 is just the Shar but sometimes called the Shar 1 when talking about both Sea Harriers (FRS.1 and FA.2)

Yeah, but you said you want one with PD and Fox 1? that don’t exist sadly.

I mean it did but it didn’t

Pretty sure they never had Fox 1 on a Shar

Didn’t even have a CW illuminator, so it couldn’t use Fox 1s but technically could use Fox 3s as they can just be Maddogged

Just use the FA.2 or FRS.51 better in every way lol.
