Harrier GR1 in need of a BR increase

Would be a better situation than the one we’re in now.

Yeah… it would be.

Real shame, SRAAMs use to be a lot of fun, now they are almost not worth taking. Probably should finsih the stock grind on the GR3 at some point.

I never knew that I was going to see ‘Nerf Harrier GR.1’ thread in 2025.

I don’t like whataboutism, but sending Harriers GR.1 into 10.7 while keeping A-10A on 10.3
Because of

is an insane idea.

Okay, send it to 10.7BR and upgrade SRAAM into ASRAAM. :P

Now you are talking :P

Also J35XS to 11.0/11.3? As 6x AAMs is way too OP for a 10.3 :P

Of course, J35XS is 11.3 material because it has the same quantity of AAM as MiG-23 does, but it can’t use SARH. /s

I still has PTSD for 2020 Harrier GR.1 :/

Yeah, but nowadays its mid if not bad.

Ive got it in 2021 through that special 90% discount and i still feel ripped off.

No, lmao.

Why don’t you actually play it before crying about it being too good?

the missiles fly for 3 seconds.
Nothing more to say.

British vehicles are too OP for WT. That’s why they are always so bad and overtiered. Britain used them for conquering the Universe and all others like the Star War

They can’t even hit a target 0.8km away at mach 0.9 (while it should be able to hit at 2km+)
If launched below 350kph they will spin out and lose track
They won’t lead enough so they miss shots they could’ve hit otherwise
They can’t even track afterburning targets from a side aspect reliably (While it should have similar all-aspect to the R-60M)

It’s genuinely depressing

It’s really funny because the Yak-38 is at 9.3 yet it gets 4 R-60s which are better in almost every single way

It would be quite silly with either of those fixes though, either a short range all aspect shotgun or a decent sidegrade over the AIM-9J (if they fixed both issues it would be way too hard to balance)

Yeah, that is the only historically accurate part about them. Which is especially bad for the Harrier, being a low speed fighter

What I think they should do is fix the range but just give them quite a wide rear-aspect ability, so its decent in side aspect shots but not make it true all-aspect. Maybe add an All-aspect version for something like the Hawk that can come with CMs and therefore would be okay at the necessary higher BR

They could give it similar stats to the AIM-9G so it has quite decent side aspect lock ranges
OR
Make it only lock afterburning targets in the frontal hemisphere

so all you have to do is cut your afterburner in a head-on

though im pretty sure gaijin isnt fixing the sraams because they’d have to move the hunter up since that suffers a lot less than the harrier

Yeah… Neither SRAAM carrier is great and I dont think even just the min and max range fixes would affect BR with the current compression but they also probably fear making them too strong again and so just wont touch them.

  1. Do you even have it?
  2. Are you just saying this because you are unaware and die to SRAAMs due to this?
