First Generation Harriers discussion about flight performance and capabilities

FutureFlash2034 · February 15, 2025, 7:38pm

It’s just an example of the absolute limit a Harrier can perform with skill in an Airshows without doing anything far too risky.

Very capable platform IRL.

In game not so much.

MatrixRupture · February 16, 2025, 10:40pm

Just something interesting I read in the tactics manual.

19 degree a second ITR at .6 Mach with 60 degree nozzle angle.

MatrixRupture · February 17, 2025, 1:36pm

Yes You where struggling to turn there lol.
The AIM9L is worse.

BOMBAY9997042-live · February 17, 2025, 1:37pm

teamkill though, not purposefully

MatrixRupture · February 17, 2025, 2:12pm

The AIM9L will legit go for a friendly 180 of the target right in front of you.

I want them to add the Sea Harriers HUDs so bad they are unusable in SIM.

Okstnaya82 · February 21, 2025, 5:00am

still no news? is there a prior ETA we can expect for this sort of thing?

MatrixRupture · February 21, 2025, 7:50am

No news yet, and I don’t think an ETA is possible. We have to remember it might not happen at all. It’s up to the devs.

Zannafrancy12 · February 21, 2025, 5:03pm

ignore your bad aim? dw mate nobody blames you those harrier guns are straight up terrible

MatrixRupture · February 24, 2025, 10:11am

Wouldn’t be as bad if the Shars got their correct HUDs and EEGS.

kitsune_qq · February 28, 2025, 4:38pm

MatrixRupture · February 28, 2025, 4:40pm

Cant say much, from phone thats terrible

MatrixRupture · February 28, 2025, 4:44pm

Did they change the flight model?

kitsune_qq · February 28, 2025, 4:44pm

Thrust surely got changes, but idk about fm

MatrixRupture · February 28, 2025, 4:46pm

That’s good they maybe fixed what I’ve been asking for lol.

They would need a lot more thrust at higher speeds.

Flame2512 · February 28, 2025, 4:49pm

Yes: Mergely - Compare files and find differences online

MatrixRupture · February 28, 2025, 4:50pm

They fixed the flaps
Wing efficiency
Thrust
I’m really excited for the dev server.
