I dont think they would work like that, they’d be like the AS34s on the MFG. Useful only against naval targets. Not ground targets

Sea harrier AMRAAM capability. What is the other awesome missile they can get?
I predict the harriers will be one of the first besides Viggen to get aim-120s.
The radar on the F.3 is so advanced. Said to be the most advanced in western europe untill the Typhoon but thats just what I read once upon a time.
The radar should be better regardless. They really let this aviation tree sit in disarray when it has some amazing capabilities and machines.
That’s not going to stop me from trying. I did the same with the funny Japanese missile from the crafting event.
And I’ll be damned if I’m not going to try it on a tank again.
To add to this for what is a tank if not a boat on land?
In theory ASRAAM. But likely in game Aim-9M and Aim-120B
As do I
I think that title fell to the Blue Vixen located on the Sea Harrier FA2 (and was the precursor to the radar found on both the Typhoon and Gripen C)
The Foxhunter was good, but not as good (but RAF vs FAA interservice rivalry has probably tarnished that a little. the FA2 was retired early because “the F3 was better”, though it really wasnt)
Yeah, I can quite happily accept britain lacking a top tier A2A dogfighter, but we just dont have anything that is “good”. Harrier Gr7 is the closest we’ve got but its not meant for A2A combat, just happens to be wierdly good at it

I need an event or something that will alow me to play true landships.
Mk IV my beloved.
Huh it has the same engine that vatniks think the CR 3 will have:P

Thank you I forgot what it was called kept looking up SRAAM lol.
Yeah I love the harriers. I am sure the later sea harriers have better engine than the Italian right? Either way the Italian is really good. Especially if you drop the gun. Thing does not run out of energy easy.
Interesting thanks you know more about me especially the history there.
So, do you think it’s good enough or lacking? It reminds me of the current AWG9. Drops lock so easy compared to technologically inferior radars such as the NO19.
the latest sea harriers do not offer better performance??
The same engine as in the Harrier Gr7 (and I think the italian one) the Mk105
You can read up on it here: BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion
Not as much as I’d like, but some. This book is a great read for more information on the FA2:
Spoiler
It might, its supposedely similar in performance to later F-15s. The make or break for it will truly be the radar. If a lot of aircraft get Aim-120s then it might struggle. It wont turn as well as the Gr7 or AV-8B but should compensate for that with being able to fire off-boresight shots. Though you’d want to keep targets at range if possible and rely more on the radar and AMRAAMs.
It might, just might be enough to keep us in the fight, at least for a little while. But will probably be a hard jet,
The Sea Harrier FA2 is an upgraded FRS1 (so a harrier 1 frame not Harrier 2 like the Gr7) Its smaller wing does limit its turn performance, but does have the same better engine.

Thank you bro. Checking out the references now. Hope they do something soon with this tree. It’s a little past due imo.

As do we all. Britain and Sweden have been promised a new “top tier” aircraft in the next update. So we are due something. But we have no idea what that might be.
But yes, it’s been 9 months since the Tornado F3, it is about time we got something, anything, and long overdue an addition that is actually 12+

The Tornado should have come out when the F4EJ kai was released out low key. That would have been fun times. I honestly think if the F.3 came out with the MLD it would have been perfect or alongside Winged Lions with Israeli tech tree. They always are overdue with the UK when they can absolutely make a killing in sales.
I love British aviation I bought my way to the FGR as soon as they modelled the PD radar. So much lost potential. Hope they redeem themselves this upcoming patch.

Yeah, tornado F3 anytime between the Mig23MLD to the F14A would have been fine. 3 months after the F16/Mig29 was just an insult

Lol FR.
I am trying to grind out the F.3 Italy almost got it just to see if there is any quirky differences that we haven’t caught.
They probably won’t have a Dev diary for the UK jet. The only introduction the tornado f.3 got was 1 second in a release teaser.
Need to temper your expectations. It’s very likely just another harrier or tornado.

Oh lawd it’s coming (maybe)

Seen in the pic is:
Top left = Gripen
Bottom Left = Su-27
Bottom = F/A-18 (Or CF-18)
Right = Mig 29 (First thought F-15, but it doesn’t match up)

I’m pretty sure this is just speculation. Someone said the official WT esports discord wouldn’t have any info on upcoming patches. I don’t believe.

Maybe. Maybe not.
IMO it’s a bit too on the nose for it to be random.
If all they wanted to do with this was to hype us up and fool us, surely they’d include the F-15 in there.
