BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

Why does the Sea Harrier FRS.1 (L) sit at 11.3 when the A-10s, A-6E, Su 25s, etc. sit at 10.3 and 10.7

It got Gaijined.

FRS1e moved up 1 stop from 10.3 to 10.7 (which is the correct BR for a half decent fighter with 2x Aim-9Ls)

But the FRS1 for some reason went up 2 stops instead of the expected 1 stop.

I plan to bring it up next BR change and I have yet to encounter anyone who disagrees.

Like it commonly faces super 3rd gen fighters (think MiG 23MLD, F 4J/S, etc.) especially in Sim

Yeah… That does suck. At least we have the e that is still at reasonable BR.

I think your forgetting the a10c is the same br as it now lol, according to gaijin an a10 (with hmd) requires 9ms for it to be even able to face a sea harrier. You think they have an Argentinian dev that just spends his entire time ensuring harrier players are always facing realistic threats.

Whats funny is that I wouldnt be at all surprised if it turned out the Sea Harrirer FRS1 had better stats than the A-10Cs

Nah, Argentinians wouldn’t be dumb enough to put an A-10C with 9Ms at that BR.

Player stats I presume? absolutely. We’re expecting A-10 pilots not to pitch up, stall, and get gunned down constantly.

I didn’t mention the A 10C cause I’m not a wizard and can’t see if it will go up in BR in the future, I also don’t know it has HMD with missile slaving when IRL it was for IFF and the Tpod.

Scanned some photos from my various World Air Power Journals;

Bloody well hope it does in ARB. 9Ms and HMD at 11.3 seems very undertiered, flight perfomance or not.

Also didn’t the other month Gaijin released some spiel on how they’ll adjust BR by missiles rather than airframe performance?

Su-27SM at 14.7 and FA.2 at 12.0?

Nah, Bismark can barely fight Fairey Swordfish. Its clearly going to be a reserved rank ship :P

Well in that case they’re going to have to put the Swordfish up in BR to 2.3. Can’t have the pride of the Kriegsmarine struggling against the puny Royal Navy who did nothing during the entire war and was worse than Japan and Russia.

i cant wait to put in a bug report when i get shot down in my swordfish trying to torpedo a Bismark

Me and my buddy tried flying out the sword fish in sim to torpedo some boats. I only remembered when when hurt, by johnny cash, came on that the boats we were going towards are modern. We then got evicerated by the aaa about 4km away without getting any ordinance off… I really think they should nerf the aaa based on brs rather than maps, or we have situations like this where i simply cant torpedo a boat anymore due to how accurate they are.

Hi folks!

I’m slowly going insane trying to figure out where to find the dual carrier racks that are used by the Harriers for Bombs and Rocket Pods in the CDK Asset viewer, to repaint them…

Does anyone know what those are called?!?

You could see it in the skeleton here

If it exists on the model, it will be somewhere next to it in the skeleton. Or in the middle, but we dont talk about that.
