only for bots with negative iq.
I was thinking about it for 2 reasons
-
an actually playable Harrier II for Sim as the Harrier Gr7 is so over BRed its not fun or even really playable anymore
-
10x GPS GBUs for wiping out battlefields or SPAA around AFs in Sim.
But now with that reason 2 removed. Im just not sure reason 1 is good enough at the moment. Especially as sods law the Harrier Gr5 gets added as a premium in the next update or something
Are you sure it will be a Harrier and not a Indo-Soviet jet : P
Yeah, there is that, we get a new premium aircraft about once every 18 months and its looking like its just going to be soviet stuff as premiums from now on.

Yea which is sad because there are Anglo-Saudi things we can have like the Tornado.
I feel like the Mig-29K will be our Squadron vehicle since the JF-17 is a thing
Option 2 isnt removed.
It will be present on major update
I dont mind about that being an SQV. Grinding SQVs sucks so something actually good being locked behind an SQV again (like the Sea Harrier FRS1 was) would suck.
But yeah, Suadi Tornado would be interesting.
With Italy getting the A200 which is purely to give them a 11.3/10.3 Tornado IDS which is basically identical to the one they already have minus the Tpod. Im guessing we’ll get one as well at some point. As the Tornado Gr1 we already have is that early one (cue the Mk101 engines) then Im guessing we could see a Saudi Tornado Gr1 sooner rather than later… (but could be both with guided or unguided payload, so we’d have to wait and see what they do with that)
That being said. So many aircraft yet to appear and I could see several coming with premium variants like a BAE Hawk on the TT and a Red Arrows Hawk as a premium and the aforementioned Harrier Gr5 purely from the RAF

I thought they limited it from 10x GPS GBUs to only 4 or was that reverted?
Reverted.
No. Definitely not Vulcan, she’s a timeless aircraft. I mean, literally iconic. It’d be like putting all the F-86 Sabres behind a paywall almost… and I think we’ve had our share of historical jets getting paywalled ahem Sea Vixen
Also I love the Victor on a personal note. Valiant would almost make more sense as the event/prem, since she’s the least known.
I simply… disagree. All that’s stopping them from being usable as is is Gaijin’s refusal to look at other options for gameplay. A decent PvE mode would do the trick. Not just Sim EC. A real enemy that does different things each time.
In the kindest respect, I’m saying where would Gaijin put it, as if we did Players we’d be here all day arguing amongst ourselves.
Possibly also because if you squadded with enough people, you could force the match to end early. You could also (if you really hated the enemy players) deny people the ability to land, on the pain of bomb.
Er, no. It was 9.3 a little while back, before the F-104 and MiG-19 got dropped in BR. And because it had flares, you couldn’t just haul a missile armed interceptor upto the right altitude. It could just run in circles forever and ever, and you’d spend about 10 minutes trying to get into position to kill it. Can remember 1 particular match where about 4 or 5 of us were trying to get up to its altitude, and even when we got there, because we’d been climbing for the last 2-3 minutes, we then had to spend the next couple of minutes either taking speculative shots at 2km or trying to get up to speed.
Oh, and what happens if the matchmaker gives you no supersonic, no missile armed aircraft? Is that a matter of “just don’t have bots/bad players?”
Hmmm… makes that tempting again then. Thank you.
Though still might be worth waiting for it to appear on sale.
Look at the vautour. Complete trash above 8.7. Especially since Hugh tier bombers lost their spawn for some fucking reason

Wasn’t it confirmed that the AV-8B+s and AV-8B(NA) are still getting their 10x JDAM loadout?
I have no idea. I’ve missed that if that is the case, but I guess we’ll just have to wait for live and see
as far as i know yes
Probably only thing that made it doable… until some muppets abused the Su-7 airspawn and killed half the enemy team on takeoff back when we had small ass maps
