The two Frs.1 aircraft in game are identical in everything. The only difference is that one gets 2 more missiles. This to me just feels sort of lazy and not really thought out.
I would like to suggest that the Frs.1(e) be made into a pre/early Falklands style. With the paint it has + the rushed paint they got during the war.
The (e) would retain the same radar, rwr, and 2 missile load-outs. It would essentially be the same aircraft just with an added skin.
The late I would like to see as a later 80s version of the Frs.1. Upgraded RWR (sky guardian), (more info required) slightly updated radar this happened in 84 iirc, and the same 4 missiles. I would like to see it have some regimental skins (809,899 had some cool paints)
I would like to see this added so it can add some depth to the Frs.1s that are in game. They would also have differential capabilities.
Having 2 of the same aircraft in the same tech tree just makes 0 sense to me.
The exhaust soot is one of my biggest complaints at the moment, I’ve started flying around with 40% throttle and I can tell that it makes the Harrier infinitely harder to spot in sim when it doesn’t have a 1km long black tail behind it.
Yeah they should have never added brimstone like they did….
Yeah, a while ago I was in the Hunter F6 with an AV-8A on my team. I was VID’ing him cross map on Tunisia with 100% accuracy because it was the only thing with a sooty exhaust in the match
It’s really annoying. You know it’s bad when you can go from literally flying up to an enemy from the front without them even seeing you. To being spotted from tens of Km away.
It’s been like what 3 years of harriers in game and still no fix when all it takes is a change of code.
id much prefer if the FRS1 early was how the Shar was when it first entered service, only aim9G so it could be 10.0 and have the squadron vehicle work as both the falklands rep and the post falklands rep
