BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

Split BR’s really should be a thing between spaded and stock aircraft. The Tornado F.3 late is worse than the F.3 sadly.

Not a bug;

hold on… your right, i do remember hearing that somewhere. although im pretty sure it was more of an idea as technically they can be used on any aim9 rail.

At least when the ADEN’s hit they can actually do some damage.

Don’t kill me like this without warning pls

Looks like a big ‘Z’ on the bottom of the Sea Harrier default skin…

Please oh please bring back carrier spawns I need them for my SHar, it would help with getting to the battle along with the Mach capable aircraft

It is wierd they were removed from ARB. But thats one of the big reasons I swapped to Air Sim :D

they removed ship maps from air rb because me in my ju 288 acting as an ac 130 would keep getting 10k sp games and rocketing through the ranks. also they are some of the best (or used to at least) ways of getting sp without bombing bases as it was very efficient. now you get 200sp for killing a destroyer. shame really, the one map with ships in rb and there are 4 destroyers to kill. no point when bases are a thing.

Yeah… sounds about right

Just me or does it feel like it might be CBT trying to get AMRAAM unlocked on the SHAR? Looks like what, 91k RP to get to it?

I think I saw some others with AMRAAM as a rank 3 module, would be nice for SHAR to have it there instead lol, esp given its a subsonic fighter.

Only the F4F-ICE I think. But yeah, I dont think it would be totally unfair for the FA2 to get AIm-120Bs at rank 3 instead rank 4. Plenty of space for it.

Also a tad wierd (and just noticed this for the FRS1) that the rocket pods are rank 4 not rank 1/2 like they are for the Jaguar and Gr7

Yeah, would be neat lol.

Also, I am assuming the flight model isnt perfect yet as in the test room I am managing to get speed like a bat out of hell and also pulling like 16G turns and flipping the plane around in a couple seconds flat while managing to maintain momentum/rebuild quick when going 800km/h plus.

I am assuming not how it should be? Or is the engine refit they got really just that good for it? XD

Im guessing the FM is wrong, though it should have the Mk105 engine that can be found in the Harrier Gr7 (I think) should be better than it is currently

Its the other way around, That some Launch rails can mount both.

The MRL family of common rails; LAU-127(F-14 & F/A-18), -128(F-15 & F-22), -129(F-16), -139 (Grippen) for example, use geometry that can accommodate both Sidewinders and AMRAAMs(And LAU-138, BOL dispensers).

While an AMRAM doesn’t fit on the LAU-7, it is certified for International Missiles and smaller aircraft (HAWK, AH-1, AV-8, etc.) that aren’t certified for carriage by the MRL rails(on the aforementioned Teen series airframes, though these days certification has been performed on wider array of missiles so its less of an issue, though still impacts the configurations found in game) like the ASRAAM, IRIS-T, etc.

and the less said about the Aero 3 rail the better.

the only thing they would change is the engine so i don’t know what else then could of done

Stock grind improvement thread for Sea Harrier FA2 and AV-8B+. Figured Id kill 2 birds with 1 stone as they are in a similar boat

Did the Sea Harrier FA2 not get access to the twin bomb mounts for in boardboard pylons like the Sea Harrier FRS1 did?
