All the Harriers seem to love overheating the second you actually use 100% throttle. In the Sea Harrier the engine goes into the red at 727 degrees C. It should actually be 774 degrees C.
As far as engine damage goes at 732 Degrees C is the hottest it got and that’s the temp that caused engine failure. 732 is a far stretch from 774.
This is accurate.
Normal operating throttle for these Harriers is 56%.
No Alvis it is not.
Like I have worked out before on other threads if we use rpm to calculate thrust settings 81% throttle in game is about the combat setting-normal lift dry.
Regardless of how you try and put it the engine should not go red until 774. In game it goes red at 727 or so regardless of engine setting.
So that all said the harrier could fly around using 100-110 percent throttle just fine until getting up to 774 C. Meaning the harriers Pegasus engine overheats much faster then it should.
Among the engine overheating issues the harriers are also too slow, have a false IAS limit, missing climb rate and max achievable altitude, and lastly they are missing a good amount of sustained turn.
They are not missing max achievable altitude, I literally showed you a screenshot of a Harrier above that cited altitude a few months ago.
Harriers are also not too slow.
The only confirmed thing in your post is a margin-of-error turn rate.
How high did you get too it needs to be 50,000 feet for a gr.1 weighing 16,000 lbs.
Can a gr1 do 625 knots at sea level as limited by its max thrust.
Wisla you will find the answer to both those questions is no.
Also the margin of error is quite significant missing several degrees a second and also having a significantly higher corner bleed rate then it should as well.
Lift boundary of the harrier should be .2 Mach in game it starts to fall from the sky at around .3
You should try bug report it
I understand that the Harrier was treated unfairly because it was introduced to the game at the same time as the Yak-38. The Yak is literally a ‘crippled’ aircraft, both in real life and in the game. Naturally, gaijin made the Harrier just as bad, especially since it’s a British aircraft. They have a pathological hatred for everything British, so I think reporting bugs is pointless.
That sounds too much like a wild conspiracy theory to be remotely true.
Marines used harriers, so not just British hate
Alas, this is not a conspiracy theory. There are just plenty of similar examples in the British tech tree.
If you’re talking about the AV-8B, it’s an excellent aircraft, and it’s nothing like the original Harrier in the game.
They used the AV-8A and C too
Weren’t they introduced into the game later as a copy-paste of the British Harrier?
The Av-8A and C, and the Harrier Gr.1 and Gr.3 were all introduced in New Power.
Those are not top speed charts for sustained speed, that’s maximum safe speed for engine operation.
@Flogger_cbs
Harrier’s a joint US-Britain project, and we all know Gaijin loves USA and Britain.
And AV-8A/C use different engines.
With minimal remaining fuel, it is possible to accelerate up to 627 knots.
You can see they can go or not from this website.
Okay, it’s just that I tried to do it in the test flight.
