BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

There are actually different HUDs in the AV8 than in the Gr harriers.

As well as different cockpits, not like they even did the Gr.3 cockpit right in the first place.

I would be more specific but I don’t see the point, its not going to be fixed either way.

What functionality are you looking for evidence of?

Iirc only the earliest AV-8As had the moving map display, with all others just having an analog horizontal navigation display

Interestingly is this static cockpit from an AV-8C, with god knows what kind of display where the MMD would’ve been

The presence of the AN/ASA-83 as detailed in the above referenced SEAM report, as the AV-8A is equipt with it and as such may additionally be impacted by it’s prospective implementation

As per the report;

Does that manual make mention of the AIM-9L at all?

Because the people responsible for vehicle balancing in the game believe that Russian military equipment is the most powerful and advanced, and they react very defensively to any facts that contradict that.

No, the 9L was only fitted to Gr.3 as a war time emergency.

Were they actually ever fitted with 9Ls or just the 9Gs?

Fairly certain they just reserved the 9Ls for the SHars on the grounds that the Gr3s were there for mud moving

I’m pretty sure they were fitted or cleared to be used on the way down, bc they thought there would be more Shar losses. I’m might be wrong, I have a (what I think is) dead rat decomposing in my ceiling and I can’t find anyone to take it out, the smell has also been hurting my brain but I’m at least only in a bad rented house and will be moving in a month or so

watch out, the rat may follow you. You should be careful.

I think it might be the XM*))W that is killing everything in my ceiling and waiting to be added to haunt me in-game and destroy me mentally

The Gr.3 did get official usage of the 9L after the Falklands, it was a part of their kit until retirement. Same with Phimat.

Ah that’ll be it then.

Yeah the 9L gave it a CAP capability and enhanced self defense.

Centerline Phimat was also very useful.

Could Phimat really be carried centreline? I thought it could only go on wings. If I think about it, ig it does make sense it could do that as well as TIALD which could also be carried on the wing

Behold centerline Phimat

Looks weird like that. Is there a suggestion for it on SQV Shar?

Shar never had Phimat.

Yeah, unfortunately its only a Gr3 thing.

The most we can hope for with the SQV getting extra buffs in that department is a digital RWR that would ID the target, would make CM usage a lot more effecient
