At the ranges AMRAAM will be used, they can be easily defeated.
If you dont defend against a launch warning, you’re asking to be sent back to hangar.
RB will be annoying, yes, small maps and 16v16, but at SB, they wont be a major issue.
12.0 is my guess, but with the finger on the trigger to go to 12.3 if its needed. (but I do hope it could be lower)
Sea Harrier FA2 is going to have the fraction of the killing power that something like the F-16C or Gripen or F-15C will have. Most 11.3s probably wont struggle overly against them, in fact I think the only ones that will be overly affected is the F-14As
That is the maximum possible loadout, but may not be the best. Im currently looking at 3x Aim-9M (1x twin mount on one wing and 1x single mount with BOL on the other) With AMRAAM on the belly.
If its possible, maybe also another loadout with 2x Aim-9M (twin mount on one wing) and an AMRAAM on the other with BOL. With then AMRAAM on the belly.
In either case, the addition of 160 additional CMs might be more beneficial than the extra AAM. Especially as you’ll probably want to avoid direct furballing.
One thing is for certain, if it gets released and is completely sh!t. We will take it one with Gaijin, cause Britain’s been screwed too much and we have some people with good influence in Gaijin talking in this forum
In theory, there shouldn’t be anything for them to screw up like they have for the Tornados.
Though a part of me is still expecting the Harrier Gr3 cockpit HUD
The biggest concern I have is the BR.
I was wondering, with the upgrades, would the FA2 have gun lead for shooting other planes? If not I really am struggling to see the point in taking guns like, ever for it?
Ah, very neat, ty ^^.
How good is the Blue Vixen radar?
Also can the Sea Harrier FA.2 use skyflahes?
Blue Vixen doesn’t have a CW illuminator, so no.
FRS1 should have them as well:

But yeah, Aiming them is pain
Its currently on the Gripens if you want to try it out
But was suppose to be exceptionally good IRL
Base for the PS-05 radar in the Gripen.
Also the base for the ECR-90 Which is the radar in the Typhoon
There are a ton of things I know they are gonna purposefully fuck up
Hopefully the SHar 2 gets the proper one
This is one of the main things they are going to mess up by putting it at 12.7/13.0 and absolutely mess it up
Huh thats interesting, would deffo make the SHAR FRS.1 a lot more effective I suspect. Shame it isnt in the game when it came in.

Really enjoying taking the Shar in AirSB.
Getting used to the bomb/rocket sights is fun, disappointing that we don’t get AP rockets but those RN ones do damage to light targets.
Bombing is fun too but having to have a sharp AoA to see the reticle. Haven’t tried the Drag bombs yet.
Only thing it’s missing is a marker for locked targets when in a2a/standard mode.
It should have a marker, shouldn’t it, or am I missing something?

Just give us a HUD, any HUD with working horizon/attitude display and working velocity vector…

Why not use CCRP? No need to see the reticle if you bomb automatically…
Haven’t tried doing that yet.
Not entirely sure how in SB.
