Hawk 200 - Does it need a loadout change?

Yeah. im purely looking at this from an ARB/ASB perspective.

As for GRB. I wonder if we can get AGM-65Ds instead of AGM-65Bs on the grounds that the A-10A Late can run 4x 9Ls + 6x 65Ds + a better gun and 8x the CM count at the same BR (I think there is evidence of the H200 running AGM-65Gs as well)

slower, worse accel. better instant turn but burns energy far worse. only benefit is dropping one flare instead of two per CM firing

and that is wrong for the Shar. I beleive there is a report in for that

harriers have a lot of reports from our favourite document leaker but dont expect them to beome the VTOL hunters they should be

Yeah, nor do I.

Half the reports I think they are ignoring so that it doesnt change the balance they think they have

I’ve not tried it yet, but maybe I could live with this. I need my aircraft to do somewhat instant turns when needed or else it drives me mad

you have one instant turn and then youre at like 300mph and very very dead

No idea, but the Indonesian Mk.209s run 65D/Gs

Forgive me if I’m being tiresome, but the Sea Harrier Frs.1 broke me. (Being someone who came from AV-8B plus) I’ll take anything at this point

I think thats the image Ive seen. So probably a Gaijin judgement call at the moment then

i love harriers but they are just horrid to play from their VTOL not really working, their AOA is still lacking a little and their energy retention is still landing gear deep in the gutter.

every harrier ought to be lower than they currently are. Im really hoping the hawks dont have the same fate


Was show off with Ds I think?. I’m pretty sure only D’s got painted green?

it will be to hold its CAS abilities back. do wish it had the D but its a big enough miracle that its finally being added

I love the Harrier II, though I’ve only tried the one in US/Italy and I’m still grinding towards the British ones. They feel like totally different aircraft, as you can actually turn with fighters. (And pull hilarious stunts with vectoring)

Sooo yeah that’s why going to Harrier I was quite a shock for me. I’ve gotten used to it now but that doesn’t make it good

yea they are very good. Its a shame most the harrier iis are premiums with very aggressively limited ammunition to put them at 11.3.

FYI the thrust vectoring should be a hell of a lot more violent but the game doesnt model that at all

This would be so much fun to get properly modeled.

guy on your tail?

full vector and they overshoot instantly to eat a 9M before they even know wtf happenned. just like when you combine thrust reverse and airbrake on the tonka

I think this is a B, or at least one of the TV versions:

Yes, scene mag means it’s an AGM-65B.

Another way to tell if it’s TV/CCD or IIR is if there is a rotation band, which connects the seekerhead to the rest of the body. It’s only present on the IIR versions. But in the above picture it kinda cuts the Maverick right before being able to properly see it.

I’ve tried finding alternate angles but had no luck unfortunately.
