Very weird we have American aircraft on sale for the RAF day
they’re not fixing it because its being balanced in this way
that is a very moronic reason to keep something basically unusable
well if it were to get the range to 2km then the aircraft carrying sraam could possibly have to go up in battlerating and face more aircraft with flares
I guess you could say they got very ‘Harrie-d’ away with the Harriers.
the GR1 and hunter would become balanced then as they are facing things with far better missiles and plenty of CM already
There is an argument to be made that the Hunter F6 is under BRed already. Harrier Gr1 possibly as well, given it’s got 0 CMs at the same BR has 2 identical harriers with 240 CMs
Given the fact there is superior missiles at and around that BR, a fake 50% range nerf is just stupid to maintain. Especially given 0 other weapons are fake nerfed to such a degree for the sake of balance
thats what im sayin its weird
yeah im sure people in downtiers have fun fightning against a thrust vectored missile when it gets a huge buff to a range where it is easily deployable and very very difficult to counter
Probably because there’s also a sale for the introduction of the harrier, and guess who else used harriers.
it takes a single flare to distract it. it is not that hard to counter at such a high BR
9.7s can still meet a ton of flareless planes, and most 9.7s also need to go up to decompress the game.
im not saying its hard to counter at uptiers im saying that people in downtiers will suffer a huge amount more and yes that does matter. we dont need more cancer than what we already have.
i myself want the best for sraam as i am hunter f6 player and i like the missile but this is also something we have to recognize…
Regardless, these situations always give me a good laugh

The Indians???
India
Been waiting a year+ for them to fix that bug as well

Unfortunately there isn’t an Indian Harrier in game, but there are American ones, and Gaijin will never forget an opportunity to milk players for money.
Let me plop this in here lol.
A detailed write up of what VIFF should do in terms of deceleration and pitch rate
Harrier: Vectoring in Forward Flight // Gaijin.net // Issues
Aerodynamic AOA
Harrier (All Variants) Missing AOA and nose pointing ability // Gaijin.net // Issues
AL/ALE 40 should be single fire
Harrier AN/ALE-40 CM dispenser should be a single fire // Gaijin.net // Issues
With VIFF Harriers should should have an ITR that can match 4th gen fighters
Harrier VIFF Turn rate to low // Gaijin.net // Issues
Still missing lots of raw power and STR
First Gen Harrier STR is underperforming // Gaijin.net // Issues
If they want to do they they should fix the harriers but they took down all of my posts regarding the fixes that need to happen lol.
it should definetly be fixed even though i do find it funny.
@Caernarvon02 your update is: not fixed
