The average harrier pilot will easily beat the average J-7D/Mig-21 pilot in game right now.
The J-7E will beat the harriers in their current state. As for a fixed harrier, I’m not 100% sure about that.

Well given that a Harrier Gr.3 with a combat load and all 5 pylons can almost keep pace with a clean light F-16 using military power.
My hopes for the J-7E are low
Decided to buy the Thai AV-8S premium for Japan, safe to say the Harrier buff has made them pretty good

Yeah I uhh. took the Sea Harrier for a spin in SIM and lets just say it was a good warm up.
All players BTW.
The Thai AV-8 does look like good fun.

Damn, well done. I need to try out the Harriers in sim soon, the FRS.1 would already really good imo it should be pretty great now

Yes except they really need to fix the HUD is a buggy nightmare.
You can’t even use the missile sight if you have bombs.

Sort of it’s definitely actually useable now, you just have to really sweet to do well.
In SIM it’s now a monster though. In RB is limited to 16 degrees AOA when IRL it can do 40 controllably…
STR is still missing 1-2 degrees a second.
ITR with VIFF actually doesn’t exist.

It is what it is. I can not do anything about it.
I’ve made the reports, the sources used are very specific in what they state and I have proved that in game it doesn’t even come close. Tech Mods just tell me to wait.
