Harrier GR.7 battlerating

Tbh the gr7 has kept his high br from both the legacy br and the irccm meta, imo 12.0 is a better br for it

Being the “best subsonic” isnt a good thing. Its ir signature is equivalent to things like the F4 and F111, whilst not even afterburning OR being supersonic. Its missing STR, lift, climb rate, STILL has the black smoke issue out the exaust, missing VIFF, missing its middle missile pylon (should be 6 not 4)

I dont know any plane more butched ingame, its somehow more poorly modelled then the tornadoes and vautors

With the recent recompressing of airRB with the F15s and the SU30s, this thing is hardly 12.0 worthy. I would take the A10C with the same missile count (with HMD, all apsect MAW, and truly is the best subsonic due to its ability to just cut inside your turn)

Forget the Gr.7 why is the Frs.1 at 11.3 in SIM?

Because it is clearly superior to the Mig-23MLD

Yes ofc, you’re right, silly me.

Every advantage lies with the Shar…

It has thrust vectoring!!! Needs to go to 11.7!!! Rahhhh!!!

Thrust vectoring doesn’t exist in war thunder (for the harrier)

Otherwise you’d beat the flanker in a 1 circle.

Isnt the changing nozzles thrust vectoring, or am I just being dumb

Yes, but it doesnt actually do anything in-game. VIFFing doesnt really have any impact on the FM.

Like if you put the nozzle forward (100%), it should have a significant braking effect. It doesnt do anything, the same result can be achieved by throttling to idle.

Also putting the nozzles to 30% should raise the nose by 20° instantly, it doesnt even wobble

Yes but that’s essentially just visual

Morv just explained it perfectly

Change in pitch/AOA but 20 degrees nozzle at 85% throttle should also add .6 G at any given AOA
