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.

2762

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

Centerline Phimat was also very useful.

2763

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

2766

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

2767

Shar never had Phimat.

2768

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

2769

Wasn’t there a Phimat on a gun pylon as well?

2770

could the jag get it centreline as well? would allow the gr 1 to bring it along with 2 9gs?

2771

No the Shar had ECM. A Blue Eric jamming pod.

The FA.2 got something even better but I don’t remember what it was.

2772

I know nothing about it

2773

Ah. I was more wondering if USMC Legacy Harriers got 9L or at least had the capability there, but I guess that manual was referring to the British Harriers.

2774

Nah, the best they got was the AIM-9H iirc

Huh, very interesting. Guess AIM-9Ls were reserved for the Hornets, Skyhawk IIs, Intruders, etc

2776

Or where only mentioned in other manuals no one has.

I have a FOIA request out on a potentially very interesting manual so we will see.
