Gaijin won’t believe Harriers performance capabilities

Numerous reports have been made, countless excuses employed.

Here is an interesting fact a Gr.3 with 85% internal fuel should have a superior instantaneous turn rate than the MiG-21, with the fishbed at just 75% internal fuel. At 250 knots and below.

At 500 knots the harrier using only 84% throttle will climb at just 300 feet per second slower than the MiG-21 for a steady climb condition. Using 95% throttle while maintaining 400 knots or less the Harrier should out climb the MiG-21.

The MiG-21 is one of the best close in low speed fighters for its Br and yet it should be bested by the fat small wing harrier when using only 60 degrees of nozzle angle.

This issue is very annoying and should really be fixed.

It is rumored the Harrier could leave Earth’s orbit under its own power.

Very funny, a fixed harrier would be able to beat other fighters in game. The only thing the current harrier can beat is a cruise liner.

The harrier can however break 30,000 feet almost straight vertical under its own power.

Really hope not, I’m just so tired of this.

It’s genuinely a good airplane, albeit a bit slow.

Being able to out turn one of the best slow speed turn fighters is pretty impressive.

Imagine how much more fun it would be if you could just easily beat something like the MiG-21.
