First Generation Harriers - significantly worse flight performance and capabilities, due to gross mis-modeling from Gaijin Devs

lets see where this goes. Probably too busy making auction crap rather then fixing bugs. Like you (and the papers state)1 degree per second less then a FULL AFTER BURNING MiG21! Ofc this is modeled wrong in game, along with the MiG29 (9.12 and SMT)

It can carry B,D,G, and H sidewinders actually. (I have the 01-AV8A-75 weapons stores and loading manual)

The entire manual?

if its 252 pages yea, its publically available on the internet archive lol

Yes if they where modeled correctly and VIFF actually worked even 4th gen fighters would get smoked in low altitude sub sonic dogfights.

Yes probably 1973 edition. The one manual that I can not find is the Tactical manual for the AV-8A. Or the Air combat evaluation created for it. (the ACE report was actually listed as SECRET by the DOD and that is the second highest classification in the US government.) You know there was some juicy details if it was that secret.

1972 one

Mine is the 73 revised lol and incorporated to 1974.

I also just realized Gaijin did not model the Harriers boundary layer intake doors.

No I used Figure 2-45. Diagram of the Guided Missile

Is H even that much better than G

its on the f4s and has a much longer burn time

Interesting.

I also happen to have a rare updated AV-8A/C flight manual. All the harriers should have AtA gun sights as well.

The gr harriers and av8 harriers should all get funnel gunsights.

interesting… A2A gunsight would be useful

Extremely useful it would be similar to the A-10 ata sight mode

I want to take a second to point this out. The AIM9L is notorious for eating flares. Yet the Harrier is so unrealistically hot this happens.
I fly with only 85% throttle as well.

Hey if you can make a report on the HUD I can add it to my growing list of cockpit issues which is supposedly being looked at by technical mods.

f86’s radar gunsight doesn’t automatically adjust for range either

Some have been made - a year ago

The Sea Harrier don’t even have the HUD they use. They are missing Missile symbology and radar/radar lock symbols they even had EEGS radar gunsights (even the FRS.1)
This makes them almost impossible to use in sim.

Again OVER A YEAR no fix we have all the sources and pics they need to fix it they just choose not too.
