A little something only semi-related to WT (I used renders of the AV-8C and FRS.1 to create these), but here are some funny “what-if” USMC Sea Harrier liveries I cooked up awhile ago…

anyone know why the gr3 is at 9.3 in sim battles? what makes it worse than the gr1, av8a/c?
Uh…
It was 9.7 the last time I checked and played it so… Someone at Gaijin has gone and done goof?
But to answer your question, the only difference I can think of compared to AV-8C is the lack of napalm

Holy typo Batman

No typo. At low speed, with VIFF, it could pull up to 90 degree AOA, though probably not recommended to pull that hard
The bug report only mentions 40° though
40 degree before buffet onset.
But another report for AOA after buffet might be needed
What is the evidence for 90° AOA?
The full 90 is unfortunately not reportable due to being in classified AV-8B docs.
But other sources such as Sharkey Ward’s Book
This one describing the Vertical Flop
Spoiler
and videos such as
and
show the level of control the Harrier had during low speed conditions and the level of nose authority it had.
So whilst 90 is probably never going to be reportable, I think 40+ is. At the very least Sharkey Ward’s book should imply at least 50. So for now I’ve changed it from 90 to 50+ with a note in the additional comments

Looks awesone! Gaijiin when😐
Mig29, harrier and tonkas FMs buffed over any copy/ paste DOA updates. Hopes and dreams haha

Yeah, it would be good.
Im really hoping this major adds something like ECM, that would be a lot of fun on everything
I have all my bets on when ECM comes, we get the Avro vulcan as the lead aircraft for the update as it is a literal ECM bus
Maybe, would be cool, but its not alone. Aircraft like the Gripen E are also known for their EW
yeah very true. However, Vulcan.
I imagine well get ECM end of next year or year after though sadly. gaijin is just soooo slow with adding things, I’d argue we’re more likely to get CBUs before ECM
See… I think it could be this year, the big thing this december, They said in CM chat 7 that there was a number of “modern technologies” they want to add prior to 5th gen jets sometime maybe end of next year.
ECM is one of the few things I can think of for that list of “modern technologies” and about a year ago now, we did have datamines for what looked like ECM pod’s loadout symbols.
So I think ECM should be considered highly possible.
CBUs… God I want them so badly, but I doubt they’ll add them purely because it would mean they would have to make the servers more resiliant and that would cost money
they did say after top tier SAMs that SEAD and DEAD would be being introduced so I put that modern technology description towards ARM, HARM, ALARM, and other anti radiation missiles
Maybe, but given the context of 5th gens. A2G weapons might not necessarily be part of that
Im thinking specific too Tech to add prior to 5th gens:
- ECM
- CM overhauls + TRDs?
- Gen 5 IIR missiles
- Sensor Fusion
yeah makes sense, sensor fusion would be pretty epic, especially for sim where you should be able to have thermal/ nvg overlays in pilot hmds
Yeah, even just IRST and Radar working together
