Bruh i know it never had it but you got to let it have it
It’s not an entirely unreasonable annoyance in the Sea Harrier. Bear in mind, the F5-C on full reheat is colder than a Sea Harrier. The annoyingly cold nature of the F5-C heavily impacts the performance of any IR seeker when they use flares. 9Ls should be nearly unflarable if the target is on full reheat like that.

Yeah, that’s an AB temperature issue rather than one of countermeasures.
& for some reason Britain didn’t develop countermeasures for GR1, and instead only supported GR3 forward.
Also only tested SRAAMs on GR1.
The only reason the Gr.3 has countermeasures is because of the Falklands which they were retrofitted onto to bring it up to the Sea Harrier’s standard. The one we have in game should technically be able to use AIM-9L’S but I don’t see a real reason why considering we have the FRS.1e.

Yep, though that would nerf the flares a bit, most aircraft, you usually need to throttle down for flares to work, like on a Phantom or Tornado. Its the fact they dont that I think pisses people off more than the “maybe” flares. (Personally, I think they could have gone either way for the flares on the F5-C and it would have been “correct”)
Well, technically they did. I think the conclusion that was reached on this matter, is that there is no reason why the mounts developed for the Gr3 couldnt have also been fitted to the Gr1, they just never were. But basically that is what the Gr3 is, a Gr1 with RWR and CM. I dont think there is any further modifications than that.
Nothing wrong with the SRAAMs, its a shame they werent tested on more things. They were slated for a lot of British aircraft, Persoanlly, I want to see them added to the Jaguars, would be the right A2A buff for them I think. Not too strong, but useful. Though looking forward to their overhaul. If its ever finsihed

SRAAM buff’s along with them getting added to more things would get them back on track.

I don’t think they even tested the SRAAMs on it, just fitted. But even then, it was fitted on a training version, not on a GR.1.

Here they are
Especially when it’d remove one of the better 9.7s Britain has.
Sea Harrier is one of the better additions, comes with a radar as well.
It’s why I will never mind lower-end missiles on jets that can carry more.
FRS1 wouldn’t be the same being 11.7 with 9Ms, and I much prefer its capabilities at 10.7 with 9Ls.
Yeah, I’m sure they were tested on the hunter. And as you can see it’s a training version of the harrier.
Just a shame that radar took 9 months to be corrected.
Who do I have to suck up to so that the FRS.1’s are designated as fighters instead of Strike aircraft. I know I’ve harped on about it for a while but I haven’t seen that many people talking about it.
I mean
So both are good i guess?
Is the technical term not fleet air defence fighter?
Airspawn???
No high tier jets get air spawns. Not even bombers.

i really do hope one day we get the buccaneer s.50 as a squadron vehicle and the s.2b after the s.2
