Sea harrier feels soooooo much faster than the gr3. I have no idea why it feels that fat. It falls out the sky after half a turn or more like a quarter. If I’m struggling against a10s in the sea harrier but can easily handle them in my gr3 I don’t think 9ls are worth me suffering through the grind. I don’t have the engine mod yet so that may be it but I doubt it.
Sea harrier is heavier but it has a better engine. Also the entire front section is different so that would also affect aerodynamics.
I’m not sure about irl or anything else. All I know is that in game the sea harrier feels like it wants to plummet as soon as you try and turn, using vffing as well or whatever it’s called. Where as on my gr 3 even with bombs it likes to stay fast and manoeuvres just fine, not fast but it doesn’t struggle trying to go verticals after on turn where as on the sea harrier you basically stall before even getting past the half way point. All of this at a br where you see f5’s every game and it just makes me not want to play it. No point either as in ground it still shares the same spawn pool as my buccaneer and jaguar. We are in dire need of a fighter at 10.0 to 10.7 to fill these gaps. Not just for ground rb but because it would be fun for air. I hate playing anything above 11.0 purely because of the massive gap in performance between 11.2 and 12.0, let alone 12.3.
@Smin1080p some weeks ago a employee of Gaijin reported he had made a report internally regarding inaccuracies around the BOL Rail countermeasures. Are there any plans to action this report? This nerf has hurt the Tornado F.3 substantially for no good reason.

Hello
These reports are suggestions, so its down to the developers discretion to decide on that.

First of all thanks for your prompt reply.
Makes sense. Have they provided any reasoning as to why they haven’t actioned such a suggestion at this time?
The original nerf seems to be somewhat ahistorical but the suggestion, as far as I understand seeks to redress that based on what evidence is available.
Devs sadly cant provide a reason for not actioning every suggestion report that has not yet been actioned. That would simply be impractical. Most likely a case of they have not had time to properly review them or saved for a later date if something is planned.

I tried to play some 9.3/9.7s over the weekend in ARB and it sucked. Every game uptiered to fight 10.3s. didn’t see a single downtier.
Yeah, we are in desperate need of a 10.0/10.3 supersonic fighter, an F5C equivalent. Failing that, a really decent subsonic fighter at 9.7 with flares and half decent missiles

Are you going to update this any time soon?
Also do you know if the ARI 23333/1 (the one on the Harrier II) could detect the K band of the Pantsir?
Update what?

No

How many RWR’s then could detect the K band?
I think only the AN/APR-39 (AH-64s, Bo105s and a whole lot of other helis), SPO-150-16M (Su-25SM3) and hopefully soon the AN/ALR-400 (Eurocopter Tigers)
Clearly also the RWR on the Typhoon can detect the K band so we have a few more than just 3.
I was just talking about vehicles in war thunder right now that can detect it, sorry

RWR has spoilt me. I still sometimes spawn in my tornado not fully paying attention just to get hit in the face because nothing was locking me. Turns out a pantsir has been looking me since I spawned in.
At least next update the default action in the tornado will be
- Spawn
- turn on periodic chaff deployment
- cause an ecological disaster dropping 1200 chaff
Hopefully that might at least slow down radar lock from the Pantsirs
Be blamed for changing the weather while you’re at it. Considering gaijin are testing adaptive weather they should make it so we can cause rain clouds with chaff. But god I hope the separate chaff and flares cokes soon, although it may need a few jets such as the phantoms as they were limited to 60 flares a 30 chaff (if I’m remembering correctly. But should buff mig 29s and such as didn’t they have separate chaff dispensers like the tornado?
What we truly need is a revert of the Bol nerfs, not fun flying the tornado I gotta say. Still just a boom and zoom jet that’s slower and fatter than all the rest. It’s like trying to fly the sea fire all over again, good acceleration but Russian super props decry gravity with how much energy the pull out of their asses.

Yeah, BOL fixes / overhaul would be welcome too. Especially as the Gr1 should have BOL.
But yeah, weather control would be even better. Clouds are the number one enemy of everything.
sounds right, but I dont think that will be a big deal with seperate release controls
